  • Julien Delavande , an engineer at AI research firm Hugging Face , has developed a tool that shows in real time the power consumption of the chatbot generating

    gnnnnnngh

    this shit pisses me off so bad

    there's actually quantifiable shit you can use across vendors[0]. there's even some software[1] you can just slap in place and get some good free easy numbers with! these things are real! and are usable!

    "measure the power consumption of the chatbot generating"

    I'm sorry you fucking what? just how exactly are you getting wattage out of openai? are you lovingly coaxing the model to lie to you about total flops spent?

    [0] - intel's def been better on this for a while but leaving that aside for now..

    [1] - it's very open source! (when I last looked there was no continual in-process sampling so you got hella at-observation sampling problems; but, y'know, can be dealt with)

  • exploitation-offshorer "Nick Huber" (@sweatystartup) finds that the leopards will, in fact, also eat his face. but still takes it as a fine opportunity to pitch his exploitation:

    (I guess at least his account name is directionally accurate? indicates willingness to induce sweatshops...)

  • I opened the site for it and browsed a bit, my first thought being something like “christ, the worst of glamper festivals”, shortly after followed by “god this like is like if the worst of burning man fucked TED”

    then, bottom of the “music & performances” page:

    Europe’s answer to TED

    gnnnnnnngh

  • yeah, their business is as hot air as the worst around, but (at least within the US) there are vanishingly few places to get lots of high-end compute and they're one of the only "free agents"

    zitron's analysis about them included a bunch of details re financials and such
