Heatwave is no joke...
  • you could search for the wiki or a forum and get the same information chatgpt is pulling without the impact.

    True, depending on the quality of the wiki/forum. I would then also often find myself defaulting back to Google to find the right page on the wiki/forum, just with the name of the forum included to narrow down my search.

    That or I'd never find the exact bit of info I need because it's buried in hours worth of reading on the wiki.

  • I guess it adds up to 12 searches worth of environmental impact with chatgpt+Google (10 searches worth from chatgpt, 2 from Google)

    When I use Google alone it's often the same as that if not more. Sometimes it's less if I already know the subject matter, but in those scenarios I would usually give just Google a go first anyway.

    Basically chatgpt often either gives me the answer or a much better starting place for what to Google.

  • Anon meets his gf's parents
  • I think his stepdaughter, with her boyfriend, dropped off his son for the son's weekend visit with him (him being the commenter, the father).

    It reads like his son was visiting his stepdaughter's boyfriend. Maybe it is that, but it'd be odd.

  • The environmental impact is interesting, if an AI search being as environmentally impactful as 10 Google searches is true.

    I don't know about you, but it often takes a number of Google searches for me to find the right information, whereas with AI and Google combined I usually get the info I need in 1/2 Google searches.

    That means that, based on my personal experience, AI is probably more environmentally efficient at getting me the correct info than google search alone.

    Edit: gotta love downvoters that give no discussion. I'm happy to re-evaluate the above but if nobody is rebuking it then all I can assume is that downvoters are 'AI BAD' folks who don't have any intelligent input.

  • “We Can Still Contact Technical Support in the West”: Russian weapons are being manufactured on foreign machinery — but why are they still running?
  • So this boils down to, these products are more expensive now that sanctions are in place, because middlemen are needed to circumvent the sanctions.

    That translates to sanctions working exactly as intended right? It doesn't matter if they still get the product as long as it's costing them a lot more than it would before sanctions.

  • YouTube will ask iOS users to 'Allow’ tracking for more personalized ads
  • It's annoyingly fairly priced. I'm fairly sure they're doing this at a loss to put competitors in the music streaming services out of business so they can hack up the price.

    Standard Google/TV streaming service practice.

  • Stonehenge sprayed with orange powder paint by Just Stop Oil activists
  • Many of the recent protests about climate change have been less direct and more about stirring up controversy to force the public to actually think about their decisions.

    My hat off to them as so far this style of protest has been working and has resulted in many of us pushing for better climate control.

    You're right this isn't going to stop companies, but even if you disagreed with them it puts climate change in your conscious mind. Even if that simply means you'll try to make slightly more climate friendly decisions moving forwards, that's a win.

    Personally I don't know if I agree with the technique, but I do feel like it has been working in terms of making people discuss this topic more.

  • How's your week been?

    Good things bad things. Feel free to vent!

    We just made pizza together woop woop!
