> That's on you. Implied doesn't mean "caused".

It can mean both, actually (and usually someone insinuates something, not something, so I didn't find that this meaning of imply was a fit here).

And yes, I do try to think about my footprint when I do something. There's a lot of stuff I don't do because of this. You really made a lot of assumptions on me.

Okay, you got me, it happens that I do stuff for entertainment. I know, I should only work, eat and sleep. Because it's well known that the first gram of CO2 released in the atmosphere because of something I do for entertainment forbids me from criticizing anything.

> I have no moral superiority

Good for you. I mean, if you think it's morally superior not to engage in morality… (it doesn't magically free you from your responsibilities though).

Note: you are the one expecting moral purity here (but only from the people you see as your opponents, how convenient).

How about we acknowledge that someone buying stuff from china is not barred from criticizing the LLMs, avoid the whataboutism and keep things on topic and in good faith now?

And no, those of us boycotting projects using LLMs don't have an immediate solution to everything under our feet, including our jobs, adopting LLMs.

What reply did you expect? That we apologize for being wrong and that we recognize that in hindsight, the AI boosters were right all along? We still don't want these polluting data centers next to our homes so they can feel more productive and play with their costly toy. Hell, even if they are useful / the productivity boost is real, actually we still don't want those shit datacenters, this wreckless scraping, the major economic crisis that the AI companies may cause through their wreckless behavior and more generally all the badness attached to LLMs.

That's quite the framing. I'd say the trajectory count way more than how productive you are to follow it in assessing someone is good.

I do think AI poses huge environmental and societal risks, including for reasons in the spirit of what you say. That's not being an AI doomer IMHO. That looks way more reasonable to me.

Well, they kinda do. Apps are available on Android and iOS. They are not "available on Android, iPhone, iPad and Apple watch". iOS is actually used and recognized by the general public.

Can we stop with this bullshit already, so we can focus on the real issues, like it requiring way too much resources or posing a huge risk on the stability of the global economy?

Yeah, this double standards thing is profoundly unjust.

What are the AI smells there?

It would be nice to expand a bit on the reasoning behind the verdicts.

Memory leaks could happen anywhere in the process. Allocate a surface for the bog standard decoder to draw on, forget to release the surface, boom you have a leak.

It possibly doesn't help that raw files are likely to be especially heavy.

burnoutdv should report a bug if not done already.

Full right to use no conditions ≠ full right on what you can do with the code

Yeah, so you have actually heard about him them. Your earlier comment was dishonest.

What follows in your comment is your actual argument and I happen to agree.

(FWIW I'm French; but I think his content is translated! - so no, we aren't only talking about the English speaking world to answer 999900000999.)

Come on. It's fine not to know about something, but Mr Beast has the YouTube channel with the biggest number of subscribers, and has the third most followed TikTok account [1]. It is a worldwide phenomenon. 515 million subscribers, it's far from "your bubble".

Not my cup of tea (and also virtually absent from my bubble), but you should probably have a quick look to know what people are talking about / experiencing in this world.

Leave before burning out. In the meantime, maybe take sick leaves if you can.

Consider many people don't notice they are burning out as well.

Leaving even if you don't yet have another plan could lead to a better outcome even considering that leaving your job creates financial difficulties right now because burnouts can take years to heal, some never manage to fully heal as well.
