the problem with AI is that it sucks shit but its benefits are actually tangible; every idiot on the block wanted a piece of NFTs and crypto but they still died quickly because they just didn't have legs to get anywhere beyond the immediate unspecific hype, but companies very much can lay off a bunch of artists and writers who take days or weeks or months to work and replace them with a guy who can shit out AI trash in five minutes
#'it looks bad' 'AI prompters don't know how to make adjustments based on feedback'#yeah! the people making the business decisions behind these things don't care about that lol#NFTs and crypto were great very early for people who were aware the entire time that they would ONLY be great very early#AI actually creates something#it's a toy you can put in apps for people on facebook to play with#like you can't PLAY with an NFT you could just buy or sell them and say 'look I bought or sold this'#the value of them was only ever imaginary so the lifespan of that value was necessarily very short#AI is like. I made you a bespoke image and it's mostly pretty good. like it's very clear what the actual point of it is#SUCKS. DON'T LIKE THAT ONE BIT. even without the Ethics I'm sick of seeing AI stuff everywhere it really just sucks lol#but also you know.... everything else about it#AI writing giving dangerous advice or incorrect facts which unsuspecting people accept without question#AI art looking deeply uncanny in an offputting way even when it's not obviously Bad upfront#AI being able to dupe living artists' work because it's been scraping indiscriminately and without consent#AI being able to spit out horrible necromantic puppets of dead celebrities#AI being able to add a sense of real-person credibility to misinformation bots#the insane?? energy costs????#everything. all of it#man.

unearthed a drawing I did of @thecandlesticksfromlesmis's modern au enjolras circa early 2022. god what I'd give to be able to draw like this again.
#“ash why do you never post new art”#because my new art is. um. Not So Good#finally admitted to myself that I Hate Digital#which is a massive sunk cost for many reasons#and am just now getting back into traditional sketching#which means I have to relearn a lot from scratch#plus life has been insanely busy and stressful#so no time or energy to Create Things rlly#enjolras#les mis#les miserables#pigeon.img#les mis fanart#sketch

I literally feel like I'm dying and I need to see a doctor, but I can't worry about that right now because
My bank account is literally in the negatives because I'm too disabled to work and can't make money but I can't worry about that right now because
I'm months overdue on getting my car new tags, but it won't even start if I could drive it so I need to jump the battery and get gas which I don't have money for, but I can't worry about that right now because
People are still expecting me to be social across numerous friend groups and it's pulling me in so many directions that I'm stretched so thin I'm running on no social battery for the last month, but I can't worry about that right now because
I still need to actually clean the house, do the dishes, clean the cat litter boxes, vacuum, and do my laundry... but I can't worry about that right now because
I still need to actually set up my new desk so I can stream since I haven't been able to do that for weeks and streaming is unfortunately my only source of income for how little I make every month, but I can't worry about that right now because
My partner is going through a really hard time right now and I need to be there for her and do what I can to make sure she's okay.
#People like me don't make it man. We just don't.#I'm hyper dependent on others to the point where I'd be homeless without my partner#I'm stressed day in and day out I get messages from people who want me to play games or hang out or just chat and I can't even#find the time to respond because I have 12 other things I need to be doing and those 12 other things aren't getting done because#every single thing I need to do is preventing me from doing something else and at the end of it all my health is getting worse and worse#and as it gets worse it costs more to fix and I can't get on disability without paying for a lawyer with money I literally do not have#and I'm losing it I'm literally going insane I'm pissed off because I see people blame the country I live in or the circumstances I'm in#and they act like they can't do anything and it'd be wrong of me to ask them for help#and I know when I die (and at this point it won't be long) they're going to act like this is the fault of america or some shit#they're not going to think about how they could have helped#and it sucks because some of my friends DO try to help they really do and I love them for it but it's so hard for me to see people#who don't make much money and who are also in tough situations throwing what they can at me to help me when I know people who have so much#they spend it frivolously on luxuries and I want to strangle them but then I'm not owed anything so it's not my place to tell them how#to spend their money or live their life.#and I'm tired man I'm so fucking tired I can't even stay awake for a few hours before I am too exhausted to sit upright anymore#I pass out and find myself without energy before I've even done anything and I'm only 29.

it is insane to me that while educators berate students for using AI, we turn around and have discussions on how we can use AI as teachers as well without ever actually seeing the irony of it all
#or the environmental consequences but. apparently most people dont care about that one???#or maybe dont even know it#its insane just having to sit there and know how SHITTY ai is. how its using up ridiculous amounts of energy#and how it is taking data people never wanted it to use#and then listen to conversations on using it for assignment creation/grading assignments like HELLO#do you WANT to make ur job obsolete?? do u want to lose the connections u form thru reading students' worl?#*work#its a disservice to the students AND to you and why am i the only one who can see it#the ONLY conversation i find somewhat valid is using it to level texts to appropriate reading levels because school districts get paid#like SHIT sometimes and newsela is no longer free#but even then#that benefit doesnt outweigh the environmental cost#education#AI#anti AI

🥴🥴 i called like 10 people on monday to see their flats/rooms and only managed to set up 2 meetings for tuesday. paid the equivalent of like a couple of days worth of groceries for train tickets because the prices skyrocketed. woke up at the crack of dawn to catch said train. one of the meetings got cancelled and the other one was literally sooooo perfect. a place i've always wanted to live in, the price was perfect and the flatmate nice. just now she messaged me she chose somebody else
#i am going to go insane why is looking for a place to live in so dehumanizing#i'm not in danger of being homeless or anything like that because i can stay with my parents in my hometown#but i don't wanna stay here#and i can't even find a room in the city i want to live in and that is my second home?#i don't have energy. calling so many people and talking to them has already cost me so much#call me a pussy but my anxiety makes me feel like i'm gonna die of a heart attack at a young age#if i keep doing anxiety inducing stuff too often#and i will HAVE to keep looking for a new flat until i find something. and god knows how many times i will have to do it#and i want to look for a new job too... which i can't do until i have a place to live but that's also gonna make me anxious#this shit really makes you want to just give up completely honestly

i may not be able to open posts from my notes or messages or get more context on posts via looking at the notes, but at least i can make fucked up coffee properly now
#toy txt post#while i was away i began my journey into coffee snobbery. im doing my best. i have a lot to learn#i have a fancy hand grinder that all the ppl on reddit hemmedvand hawed andaid it would probably be somewhat#Acceptable for pour over coffee that I got for less than $100. i want you to understand the coffee grinder ppl are insane.#there are grinders for sale that cost like more than my car did brand new. these ppl are insane? i got a chemex pour over#and a glass stovetop gooseneck kettle cos i couldnt find an electric kettle that didnt have the metal touching the water. prolly cos it#would make them less energy efficient and defeat the purpose but i dont fuck w metal water vessels cos historically They Keep Betraying Me#by making my drinks taste like ass. i got some genetic fuckery going on ig. like the cilantro soap gene but its the metal makes water taste#like ass gene? idk. but i wanted a kettle that didnt have metal and i wanted that gooseneck pour so i found one on Amazon. surprisingly#hard to find? annoying. mostly bc every search engine is bad and kept showing me metal kettles anyway. i got a grinder i got a pour over i#got a kettle i got fancy beans from a local small business i started drinking it black. im going to unlock these flavors. i will get it#but also. im still a goblin. i put garlic powder in with the grounds and made garlic coffee. its interesting. it tastes like garlic. and#coffee. but actually the garlic is mostly an aftertaste?#so it feels very similar to drinking a cup of black coffee to accompany your garlic bread actually. the first time i made it i think it#underextracted the coffee tho. second time i extracted the coffee enough but i didnt like it as much? both times. fascinatingly#i did not get strong aromas! which was weird: i find both garlic and coffee have pretty strong scents already#i wouldve thought combining them would make it stronger? it was a little stronger while brewing the second time but smelled good to me#i find the flavor of it compelling enough that id like to try to refine it a bit more and see if i can make it good#ive come a long way since my first garlic coffee haha#(adding garlic salt to black coffee out of a keurig. dont reccomend this: garlic salt has too much salt and it overpowers everything.#could not get a garlic flavor without overpowering salt flavors. so it mostly tasted like seawater with a hint of coffee. garlic powder is#the way to go. anyway next i want to try it with a lighter roast. i was using medium roast#of a local brand that i would name for exposure but wont name lest it doxxes me haha#also want to try egg coffee sometimes? the vietnamese one. looks..intriguing. robusta beans scare me a little tho#anyway. if youre interested in interesting flavors i recc garlic coffee. it was intriguing. if i find a methodology i think tastes best#ill update yall#im also interested in other things. i want to experiment with spicy coffee. chili powder or cayenne#make the paprika dracula coffee haha#im also admittedly intrigued by butter coffee? as a flavor profile tho not for fad diet reasons.

Why does google even think it needs ai generated answers? It already hands you the basics on a plate, in about as much detail as the ai and actually correct. With a source! So you can check and get more detail!
It is a search engine. It's suposed to help you find answers, hopefully correct ones. Making stuff up is counter productive.
#Google has dominated the market for years#It'll be funny if this kills it#Reminder that each ai prompt costs insane amounts of energy and water and so should be avoided#Anti ai

its so funny watching my mom be like "nahhh, we don't need this (relatively cheap) kitchen tool, we can cook fine without it" but then when i finally convince her to buy it every time she's using it shes like "wow im so glad we have this it's so useful" its genuinely so funny
#it's 'dad & the cat he said he didn't want' energy it's so funny#we bought a kitchen scale bc we kept forgetting the weight of the meat we have in the freezer and we need to defrost by weight#every single time we'd pull out a mystery sized meat I'd be like 'we should get a kitchen scale' and It Worked lmao#i grabbed a straw cleaner bc i drink pretty much solely by straw now i just like it more and my mom is obsessed with the thing lmao#like every time she uses the straw cleaner for anything like cleaning funnels or the turkey baster#the entire time she's like 'wow I'm so glad we have this these things are cleaner than ever' its great#or just generally when i convince her to slightly improve the house a bit#we found some super cheap but REALLY nice furniture at goodwill and my mom Will Not stop talking about the new chairs and coffee table#(to be fair the chairs are super fucking nice they're insanely comfy for kitchen table chairs AND they only cost 15$ each)

Which one of my roommates is responsible for heating to 22,5C on a daily basis this november resulting in a 700-euro-something utilities bill 🙃
- me
#non sims#rl stuff#cost of living crisis#energy#don't know why I'm feeling like posting this#winter is gonna be tough with these prices#there are few energy saving measures I can think of that I haven't started implementing#mind you out rent is including utilities#but the landlord is threatening with rent increases bc if that bill#I can't disagree wholly tho#300 kWh a MONTH is INSANE!#my fridge uses 88 kWh a YEAR#I hate to be That Person whose always blaming 'Dinkleberg'#but I think H did it. not entirely sure but I have seen her turn on the airco adter entering the house complaining about the cold#I swear if she's the one behind this.....#let me repeat: 300 kWh. ONE month. With THIS inflation

tragic: people you know are using generative ai art for memes
#roguish archetype.txt#tbd#i'm so tired#'it's just a meme who cares it's not a big deal' idk the hundreds of gallons of water and insane electrical consumption per generation#is nothing to you i guess.#sorry i'm clearly on a high horse abt so many things today but i'm so tired of being a person who cares abt things#in an endless sea of seemingly nice people who don't care enough so long as they're not directly immediately in harm's way#it actually takes 0 effort to just not use gen ai actually#it consumes literally none of my energy or effort for the day to not use it#caring doesn't even cost me any energy in this circumstance

There are organisations like the Green Software Foundation who are starting to try to get the industry to take this seriously but... It's a very uphill battle right now. The Cloud absolutely costs resources we can't really afford to waste, but it's currently very easy to for them to ignore that part apparently, because money.
So it turns out that ChatGPT not only uses a ton shit of energy, but also a ton shit of water. This is according to a new study by a group of researchers from the University of Colorado Riverside and the University of Texas Arlington, Futurism reports.
Which sounds INSANE but also makes sense when you think of it. You know what happens to, for example, your computer when it’s doing a LOT of work and processing. You gotta cool those machines.
And what’s worrying about this is that water shortages are already an issue almost everywhere, and over this summer, and the next summers, will become more and more of a problem with the rising temperatures all over the world. So it’s important to have this in mind and share the info. Big part of how we ended up where we are with the climate crisis is that for a long time politicians KNEW about the science, but the large public didn’t have all the facts. We didn’t have access to it. KNOWING about things and sharing that info can be a real game-changer. Because then we know up to what point we, as individuals, can have effective actions in our daily lives and what we need to be asking our legislators for.
And with all the issues AI can pose, I think this is such an important argument to add to the conversation.
#literally something that seems insignificant like leaving loads of emails in your inbox has a real terms cost#people are trying but it's insanely low profile because we've been trained to think of the cloud as zero cost#it's not by any means#and someone's always profiting from that (look at how much Amazon relies on income from AWS because eeeesh it's BIG money)#everything lives on a server somewhere and that server uses rare metals and processor chips we need for other things aaaand oh yep#loads of energy we can't afford to keep generating at this rate#ask anyone who lives near a server farm how much they like it because the noise alone is a LOT
