It’s only useful if the AI was trained on similar prompts. A lot of the anime style ones work best with lists of tags, while the realistic ones work best with descriptions like above.
Prompts are just the reverse of image recognition AI tagging stuff.
Alt text is exactly the kind of tedious work that AI would be good at doing, but everyone in the fediverse seems to have a huge hate boner for ANYTHING AI…
Fediverse: write a fucking essay every time you post an image… But make sure you waste time doing it manually, instead of using AI tools!!!
When normal people look at the title with “chips”, they are most likely think of “computer chips”. However, that’s what not the article is about.
The use of the term is correct, and indeed chips are used in more places that most people doesn’t think of. Still, it is misleading as it doesn’t consider what most people think what “chip” is, bleeding edge or not.

Congrats on winning the dumbest take I’ve read all day. Do only Intel i9-1490 count? Do you think that’s what in production cars or something? FFS, the Z80 just now got retired and is still to this day used in common electronics. Also the title of the article says “semi-conductors”.
Maybe I’m not clear enough. It’s not about what counts and what doesn’t. It is about the initial interpretation. As I said, the use of term is correct. It is just when one read “chip”, what kind of product/product category they will first think of.
For someone not fmailiar, they will say “complicated computer thing” where computer is maybe something they interact with daily like a PC or tablet or smartphone.
For someone following business news, they might think of NVIDIA or mobile processors due to news about export restrictions. Or rewind to the chip shotrage in 2020~2021, they might think of cars.
The interpretation of a term is shaped by information people gathered and absorb daily. This is something subjective.

Apologies to the overlook but the same concept still applies. It may not be misleading here where people are more or less tech savvy, how about the audience of SCMP? Or people reach this post by search engine? We shouldn’t imply everyone can interpret a term the same.
You don’t interact daily with your car? Your tv? Your microwave? Your toothbrush? Your thermostat? AC? Literally fucking everything except one item in your house. And even most phones worldwide are not latest gen flagship phones. Most people don’t even know what a GPU fucking is.
You’re grasping at straws to make this fit your worldview buddy.
how about the audience of SCMP?
Like people who live in, I don’t know Shenzhen? Yeah I’m sure they can’t tell the difference. We all know Chinese are uneducated morons, am I right?

I do in some degree, but how often one will realized “oh, there is a chip right in there”? At least I get used to them so much that unless I really put my mind to it, I won’t have that realization. To me that’s second thought, not first. This applies to what I read and how I interpret. So does to others.
Like people who love in, I don’t know Shenzhen? Yeah I’m sure they can’t tell the difference. We all know Chinese and uneducated morons, am I right?
I can’t quite grasp what you’re talking.
All in all, I’m expressing that I determined that title is misleading. The process is simple: read the title, interpret what it ment, then the article, summarize it and compare it to the title and see how far apart the understanding is. If that’s far, that’s misleading. Done.
You can disagree and think otherwise. I prefer to use terms and expressions that anyone can get the point in their first thought. Clear?
The power of those chips matters a great deal. If China is producing mostly chips supporting IoT devices, and its imports are computer chips of the Intel/AMD variety, it doesn’t have nearly as much impact as the title implies.
The XZ exploit was found because some dude was investigating performance issues in a system, and noticed an unusual amount of time being spent in SSH processing, IIRC.
That’s probably not possible, and it would be ineffective. The fossil fuel industry is still actively killing the planet, and will continue to do so for as long as they are allowed. The motivation to pollute will still exist even if we make carbon capture profitable.
Here are some actual solutions:
A carbon/pollution tax. The cost of carbon pollution isn’t reflected in the price of oil barrels. Fix that, and then people will start switching away from fossil fuels. You can’t let the externalities be externalities, that’s how we got into this mess in the first place.
Ending the subsidies the fossil fuel industry receives, as well as tax breaks. Instead give that money to renewable energy sources
Fix our shitty ass transportation system. We are too dependent on cars & planes. Bikes, trains, and busses need to be viable, but they aren’t with our current infrastucture/lackthereof
Higher density residential building with mixed use zoning. How are we going to have a green world when it takes a half hour car ride to walmart to get groceries?
Of course, none of these are really possible with money still in politics, and with voter apathy. But this is the pathway forward.
In the US, there will always be a critical mass of voters ready to end the careers of anyone who tries to do any of the above.
I’d add that buses for the most part don’t help, and we should revive the trolly systems that Goodyear intentionally put out of business, and furthermore build out mega railway projects to take long haul trucks off the road.
Railways need to be nationalized, and we need to make it easier to live rurally without the need for multiple cars and lots of gas consumption.
And we need to start building a bunch of new nuke plants like 30 years ago.
None of that will start to happen until it is way beyond too late though. And even if the US got onboard with the program, there will always be 40% of the planet who won’t. So fuck it, enjoy nature while it lasts. We’ll turn the sky white to geoengineer away some of the solar radiation, but the line will continue to go down from here.
I agree with everything you said except for your last paragraph. Scientifically speaking, it is not to late. Politically it is, but politics can and have swung wildly. Our best bet is the younger generation shows up to the polls and votes in green candidates. My local area has had some good success with this at least.
As for the geoengineering, I can see that being the unfortunate case. I’m concerned it’s going to be a far dumber and dangerous version of it though, like intentionally nuking a remote islands a couple times to start a mild nuclear winter.
Impossible (outside of some small projects that tinker around the edges in beneficial ways, but can never do enough to put a substantial dent in the problem).
The problem comes down to something that’s literally taught in economics 101: negative externalities. The cost to society of polluting is put on society, and not on the company actually causing that cost. There needs to be change in the legal situation so that doing the socially good thing is also the profitable thing. Whether that’s taxes or outright banning polluting, or something else.
What do you think Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) that the oil companies have been pushing for is if not a naked attempt to profit from the problem? Of course CCS will require even more oil to run, but that just means more profit!
It’s like the evil [character] meme where an image of them was inverted, along with a caption of something that’s the opposite of what they’d say. So, here dystopia is basically depicted as “evil utopia”
