I just see a box that says, “Bluesky.”
Same here.
ETA: text now added, thanks.
Y’all are fast. Edited! I figured copying and pasting the text was easier than figuring out how to host an image of the post.
Posted it here rather than than the original thread because it would be a thread shit there, whereas here, it’s absolutely on point.
Huh? What does this mean?
I have a question as well: Who made that post?
If you log into Bluesky, you can see the original post. I don’t have a personal connection to the poster. It showed up on my feed, and I thought I would share it. Follow the link for more!
As for the connection to reservoirs, one of the many issues with AI is the consumption of water from municipal water sources by data centers.
Lol, alright. Seems like a stretch to me (obviously you weren’t the one who made the original post, I’m not saying that to you).
As the linked article notes, Google’s data center is a massive consumer of water, and that’s the data center that holds Gmail and Drive, nothing to do with AI.
In fact, that BlueSky post probably lives on a water cooled server somewhere. So the user could append to their post:
“I was so upset by this hypocrisy that I used a reservoir draining computer to complain about it.”
I mean, BlueSky presumably lives on a data center, too;
Sorry it took me 12 hours to get around to responding. I had two orgies and some fine dining to attend meanwhile, so your pitiful bleatings passed beneath my notice for awhile.
To answer your question: Both in fact.
I wasn’t aware you lurked the MMP. Certainly your right to do so.
Odd choice of thing to complain about when we’re always hearing about the shocking amount of electricity AI uses.
Depends. In some places electricity is abundant and water is not. In other places it’s the opposite.
It makes sense to bitch about a scarce resource going to an arguably dumb use. A plentiful resource, not so much.
That’s because the post is specifically about Miyazaki, who has done a lot of volunteer work cleaning up canals and reservoirs in Japan, and who has reflected this interest in some of his movies. It’s not the most damning complaint about AI, but its one that’s almost tailor made to get under Miyazaki’s skin.
Ah, I didn’t know that. Thanks.
Or in other words
“I strongly feel that this is an insult to life itself”
Some guy who’s opinion on AI image generation probably isn’t relevant
As I said in the other thread, I’ve never heard of it, my wife had never heard of it, both of my Gen Alpha kids are into Japanese culture in various degrees (though as much as an 8-year-old and 10-year-old could be), and I took one to a Hatsune Miku concert, and neither of them knew of it by name. shrug I’m not surprised more people on the Dope know of it, but I’d guess maybe, maybe 10% of my friends have heard of it. I don’t recognize the names of any of the movies mentioned here, and the last thing I ever watched anime-related would have been Voltron (which I know comes from a mish-mash of Japenese original sources, hence lion Voltron and vehicles Voltron and all that. Oh, wait, I did watch Robotech when I was a young teen.) I don’t think it’s that difficult to go by life not knowing what it is. Similarly, a poster was made fun of by Darren for not understanding the acronym FAFO (“fuck around and find out.”) While I am familiar with the phrase, because I cruise Reddit and Youtube comments and all that and spend way more time on the Internet than I should, I, too, had never seen that expressed as FAFO.
It’s a dickish move to make fun of folks like that, but Darren can be kind of a dick sometimes. That aside, I’m gonna fansquee over Princess Mononoke every chance I get.
They just released a new IMAX 4K restoration in several theaters, I’ve never seen it but am going this weekend!
Maybe so, but I’m often reminded of just how elderly this site of the “hippest” skews. At 52 I’m a whiper-snapper.
and then you go dickish.
Maybe just stop after “so” next time?
Awesome! I took my daughter to see it when she was thirteen or fourteen, and she was every bit as blown away as I was. Seeing it IMAX sounds fucking incredible.
I’m younger than you.
