He’s pretty gooood!

Doing a rough comparison: 500k KWh * 365 / 240 billion KWh= ChatGPT uses ~0.076% of the power that Crypto uses.

Just to put Crypto into perspective.

PS: The 500k is from the article (which states it’s per day), and the 240 billion for crypto is the first result I saw from Google, so take with a grain of salt.

edit: I only just now saw which space (?) this is from. Please don’t bully me, I’m only here for the discussion (which so far has been civil).

In case others want to get into 18.404j, but don’t have the prerequisite knowledge, I made a pretty complete graph of all available MIT courses (at least until 2023) and linked them as a left-to-right dependency graph:

Just search for 18.404j - it’s an SVG, so search works.

Nonprofits can “own” for-profits.

One of the saner reasons for this structure is that the non-profit owns the things the for-profit works on. If the for-profit goes under, all things are still owned by the non-profit, so some large tech company can’t swoop in and yoink anything available.

This includes any and all data generated by the for-profit, which means your data is “safe”.

This is why we have journalists - worst case, take this information to some newspaper, who will likely LOVE to poke the bear.

OK, maybe that’s a little idealistic, but at least you can try, eh?

Within the context of the meme it’s a guy with a mug and an exploitable sign on his table. Nothing more.

This shit sounds pretty tiring, IMO :/
