I tried a few different free apps rather than the official apps of one of the ai vendors. I guess I assumed that most of them were doing their thinking locally but I never tried on airplane mode.

I did caveat my top level comment.

Maybe the generation is happening elsewhere.

I find it unlikely that someone might be on Lemmy and not be aware about the basics of how ““AI”” actually works.

That feels unnecessarily aggressive?

I don’t really use it because I don’t like it, so I haven’t bothered to read much about it. I tried some local stable diffusion image generation and it didn’t seem to strain my gaming computer much. I don’t have a power measuring device.

I tried stuff like Claude which I know is running remotely, and I assumed Gemini is remote since Google wouldn’t pass up a chance to exfiltrate more of my data.

I don’t understand these lines of headline. Where is that much power being consumed? I can probably generate a second video on my phone in a few seconds, and I doubt it’s using much more power than usual. Maybe the generation is happening elsewhere.

If you put a Kill-a-Watt on the power cable coming into your PC at home, will you see a huge spike on power consumption when you generate something?

I’ve heard people say this with my own IRL ears. It’s completely indefensible.

Ouch, that hurts.

You’re missing my point, and that of the person to whom I replied.

Why are eggs in the dairy aisle of American supermarkets and commonly considered dairy products?

Obviously eggs aren’t made of milk.

That sounds awesome. I’ll see if I can find it

It does look nice! Are you familiar with the languages and frameworks it used, so that you could potentially clean it up under the hood?

Out of curiosity, why did you ask for a self hosted version instead of making a little web app and sharing it? I wouldn’t think you’d have any data in there worth protecting.

As have i.

Never seen that, I’ll check it out!

As another non vegan (AKA “carnist”) I agree FWIW.

Time to rewatch The West Wing again.

That sounds truthy.

And how did they get dusted with glitter?!

Sure, but it sounds like every player would need to fall in the same hole or they couldn’t progress.

I’m sure they managed, but that’s not a great design.

Totally get it! I didn’t and don’t take any offense, just sort of got caught in the crossfire this time. I don’t have many opportunities to talk to sealions, or maybe I am just bad at detecting them. I have no doubt that that would get frustrating.

I know I’m ignorant on this and many other topics, but I’m slowly chipping away at some of the edges. I’ve seen a lot that feels right in Aism, Sism, and Cism, but they can’t ALL be right about everything! I think I would most benefit from a more formal process of thinking about the kind of world I want to see and which ideas might bridge that gap but it’s hard to find the time alongside actually living on this stupid rock.

Cheers! LLAP

I figured you would be!

That’s a good point. I hadn’t really thought of the reasons that minority or pre-colonial languages are made official.

I guess the use of enshrining English would be to make sure the government issues forms in it, which they probably already do. (I’m not ANZAC) On the other hand, it would likely allow the same (or a future) government to PROHIBIT publishing or accepting forms in other languages, which would tend to limit minority access to power.

I was going to recommend you to the OP!

He must have read the simple sabotage manual.

That seems reasonable.

You could also theoretically have a system that confiscated a car once it has accumulated X points, no matter who was driving. I bet you’d be careful to whom you lend your car, and would teach your teens strictly!
