There is tangible data on how much energy it’s using.

I like conspiracy theories like an average bloke does but have you seen quarterly reports from big tech? Their energy consumption and costs are skyrocketing. Are they in cahoots with big oil coal?

Very sustainable technology, this AI 😎

@misk@sopuli.xyz avatar

I wonder what’s the extent of dirt that Israel has on foreign high ranking officials due to hacking everyone’s private phones via NSO / Pegasus. My gut was telling me that the amount of weird influence they have is enough to balance genocide in Gaza but now they’re openly supporting Europe’s adversaries? I hope they get fucked.

[edit] Ah, crypto bros are here, it explains a lot.

It will not be economically viable once AI companies have to pay for their training data. So far they made some deals with press/media but multimedia is a can of worms that’s waiting to explode in our faces. They’re getting away with this because doing things and then asking for permission / forgiveness is a very Sillicon Valley thing to do, for now.

Technology itself seems to be in a plateau. The whole AI computer thing is just moving computation offline because amounts of energy needed are unsustainable and have to be dumped on consumers. We haven’t seen that much progress since ChatGPT took the world by storm.

I’m not saying AI is a fad. It’s revolutionizing medical research for example, and those industries actually own the data they’re training AI on. EU sees this and is currently working on streamlining exchanging this data across member states too.

It’s a new blockchain. It’ll fizzle out but we’ll come up with a new buzzword by then.

@misk@sopuli.xyz avatar

Things are getting back to normal in a way. People rented games for 8/16-bit consoles from video rental stores commonly. These days it’s common for people playing on consoles to buy, play through and sell games because there are no such stores anymore.

You’re right, fixed that headline now.

misk OP , to technology in You can now share passwords within your Google family group
@misk@sopuli.xyz avatar

Based on prcinpipes Bitwarden is an obvious choice. With things like passwords I’m leaning into giving my keys to a company that, if it comes to be, can pay gargantuan ransoms.

My point was - no tech giant leaked passwords but small guys did. We have no insight into how internal policies look like and if they are actually followed, we can only see outcomes. Lastpass exposed encrypted passwords in 2022. In 2019 1Password app had a bug where it didn’t clear master password after logoff and kept it in plaintext. Both enormous yikes for companies that deal primarily in security.

That’s a lot of words to confirm what I said.

Plaintext passwords was a fuckup that they self-reported 5 years ago and affected some business users. Most browsers don’t really encrypt locally stored passwords.

So far big guys didn’t leak passwords but 1password and LastPass did.

misk , to technology in Linus Tech Tips (LTT) release investigation results on former accusations

The outcome of the investigation is a statement by a third party which can’t present proof so ultimately this is still about trust.
