using chatgpt doesn't use a bunch of power, water or anything like that

Large data centers can consume up to 5 million gallons per day, equivalent to the water use of a town populated by 10,000 to 50,000 people.

After globally consuming an estimated 460 terawatt-hours (TWh) in 2022, data centres’ total electricity consumption could reach more than 1,000 TWh in 2026.

Trust me, I'm very invested in this.

Ask it to type a seahorse emoji.

Last I heard, it absolutely loses its mind going in circles with absolute certainty that a seahorse emoji exists/abject panic that it can't type the seahorse emoji no matter how hard it tries

Also, it'll waste gallons and gallons of fresh water in the process.

I don't fully understand LLMs but pretty sure using chatgpt doesn't use a bunch of power, water or anything like that but the creation of the LLM model itself is what takes all the processing power, not 100% certain on that one though.

It did error out but maybe that's because I've used it too much today? Not sure. Someone else will have to try it. "It seems like I can’t do more advanced data brown townysis right now. Please try again later. "

Anyone have interesting uses for LLMs? I recently figured out it's really funny to ask chatgpt to recreate things in blender via python scripts. I'm not learning stuff but it's entertaining.



Another funny one, asked it to create "Hello World!" with the grease pencil

i feel like use of ai is fine for restoring functionality to software that wouldn't be worth restoring without it.

????? Do you not wipe????? Do you just leave Wet Urethra??? No TP for the leftover driplets????

In my experience, there is only ever—at absolute most—one single, solitary 'driplet'. Just let gravity do its job and it'll fall off.

The moisture left afterward is never even enough to make a damp spot in the underwear. And if you're changing your underwear most days, that minuscule amount of barely any urine cannot possibly get anywhere or do any harm to anything or anyone anywhere.

Wiping the opening to the urethra might be more pertinent when providing a clean catch urine sample, where it should be wiped and disinfected before peeing, especially for vagina-havers. All them folds hold bacteria that can contaminate urinalysis results, yo.

So, despite the weirdly specific gendered stereotypes, I have always sat to pee (forget you, it's cleaner, you're less likely to miss and hit the seat, and don't even get me started when the stream splits at the tip) so I rarely if ever have to touch any part of myself after pissin', so for me a typical pee session I don't really wash my hands unless I have to touch the ol' weiner. But if I touch stuff, I'm washing my hands immediately, especially after Covid.

silly, you roll in the sink and wash the die along with your hands. don't pick a sink full of vomit particles though.

but if you dont end up washing your hands from the roll the die still gets dirtier, plus it gets all the sink scum

I prefer to use the liquid dispensers, don't have to worry about it missing and possibly spraying anywhere else, just squirt it into your palm and lather it around your hands and fingers like soap

i like the ones that hospitals use for hand sanitizer

jut your hand into the dangly thing and get instant sanitizer
