This was exactly my point, when it’s for home use the chance of my depriving anyone of revenue is negligible.
If I’m running a home assistant anyway not having that assistant constantly connected to the web relaying my audio, processing and sending it back will use less power.
Finally thanks to the solar panels on my roof I can guarantee my searches are powered on 100% sunshine.
We’re talking about home use AI searches… you said it was unethical so maybe you should define exactly why you think this?
Today I wanted to know what the tyre pressures should be for my 2002 Corolla and AI gave me the answer, I would not have bought a book or gone anywhere past the first page of google for that information.
The possible ethical dilemma is depriving someone of compensation because I used their research and deprived them of potential revenue, in reality I would never have bought a book on tyre pressures or car maintenance, and it’s unlikely I would ever have visited a site where adverts would have paid the contributors.
Another dilemma is of power consumption, the model is already made then it’s already used the power, and my tiny LLM query is going to use far less power locally than a web based search.
As a company who might make money, or achieve cost savings from using AI trained on data some only intended for use by a human, I can see how this is not always ethical.
- Whose data is it trained on? Seems like an ethical dilemma to me.
Using a standalone LLM for personal use doesn’t seem like an ethical dilemma to me, it’s already been trained on the data and if the data was accessible on the web or via a library then I don’t see the harm.
Getting small amounts of medium-trust information on a subject, is a good way to get someone interested enough to read a book, watcha a YouTube video or find a website for more information and validate the AI response.
Hypx! You’re back!
I missed your oil lobby talking points, still pushing hydrogen in the year of the production Sodium battery?
Is there a point where you will accept that Hydrogen is only going to be useful in the most nichey of niche of applications?
That’s fair enough, I had a headphone to lightening adapter permanently plugged into my headphones for about a year… I went through a pair of headphones about once every 2 years, the cable would get snagged on or trapped in something eventually. Had AirPods for 5 years… I’d say in another year I’d probably be at the break-even point from an e-waste perspective, but I’d probably have to keep them for another 15 years to make up the price difference.
Would a USB-C to headphone Jack converter open up your options? You can buy one with usb pass through to charge and listen at the same time. I really wanted to keep my headphone jack but I’ve gone to Bluetooth and it’s pretty good tbh
Toyota in toddler tantrum: “But I don’t wanna make an electric car… I’ll only do it if someone else does all the work and I get to give it a stupid name”
I genuinely thought this was satire, never heard of either and have only just started with LibreWolf… now I have more options to research!
$150 then just 48 low monthly payments of $49.95?
About a year ago BYD also renegotiated with all their suppliers credit terms of 270 days… meaning they get their products and pay for them a 9 months later rather than the industry standard 1 month, so now they actually have to start paying their suppliers.
Should I wait for 22.2 or just install 22.1? I think I’m going to go for the cinnamon desktop and install using a Rufus USB on my ~ 9 year old Dell XPS 13 9350.
I’ve been waiting a while as I thought the next version would be out by now, are there any resources for finding out how close the next version is?
Is it easy to upgrade between .x versions?
Is YouTube actively trying to make their platform as unusable as possible?
In case you can’t zoom the YouTube definition of ‘latest’, is any time in the last few years.
My video suggestions are also 50% text posts now for some reason.
Is this an application to join? If so I need to send a quick message to the EU from the UK.
