I knew it’s going to be downvoted. People here mostly support AI. But I don’t and what I meant is that I just would love the governments to ban it (obviously). The energy efficiency is the most simple reason to tell them so yea. Sorry everyone but I’m old schooled. Put your fancy AI bells and whistles away and embrace efficient, old and proven ways of computing such as using GUI, TTY and search engines (that still consume a lot but not as inefficiently). They at least don’t consume 10 MW (or a few seconds of full load CPU time and 200Gb of space if it’s a local LLM) to calculate 2+2*2 or give you a link to a Wikipedia article that explains what a helicopter is (coughcough Bing coughcough). And they hallucinate way less often too.

permacompute or bust
Who is permacompute?
https://permacomputing.net
This thing is utopian and everything but man is it the best thing I read online in 2024 so far. Permacomputing or bust.

I am at a loss, you might have to explain that one to me - all I’ve got is either something was sus or Save Union Souls lol
