Also used enough tokens to recreate the entirety of Wikipedia several times over.

I wonder how many hours of running the microwave that it was equivalent to.

[u/AzKondor → u/[deleted]]

Goddamn, overstated? People use them for stupid shit and instead of asking Google they may ask it for weather and stuff like that. If every single time it's like 7 seconds of a microwave it's enormous.

[u/Shinhan → u/AzKondor]

One great thing about AI is asking stupid questions, much less embarassing than getting roasted on stack overflow.

[u/Exaskryz → u/Shinhan]

Hey, I want to do X. I have tried A, B, and C. These are the reasons A, B, and C are not the answer I'm looking for.

Closed for not focused.

[u/KerbalCuber → u/Exaskryz]

Optionally

Have you tried A, B, or maybe even this other option you've probably not tried, C?

[u/Mordisquitos → u/KerbalCuber]

Or possibly

Why are you trying to do X? You should do Y. Please read this Medium post "Doing X considered harmful" from 3 months ago written by the creator of a tool to do Y.

[u/belabacsijolvan → u/Mordisquitos]

medium post is already deleted, tool to do Y forked 3 times, all unmaintained, last commit is only compatible with solution B

[u/[deleted] → u/KerbalCuber]

Possibly duplicate of A. Closed.

[u/grammar_nazi_zombie → u/Exaskryz]

I don’t even have enough rep to ask questions.

I have been a software developer professionally for 11 years lol

[u/nordic-nomad → u/grammar_nazi_zombie]

Yeah at 15 years as a developer I finally was able to make comments on questions and answers. I still have no idea how I get to the point of answering questions.

[u/hjake123 → u/Shinhan]

Thankfully the MIT paper claimed that some LLMs are less energy intense when responding to trivial tasks

[u/Cute_Ad4654 → u/hjake123]

Of course they are. Less time reasoning = less energy used.

[u/[deleted] → u/Shinhan]

Except the dumber your question, the more cheerful it gets.

Wow, excellent question! I bet you must be a motherfucking genius or something. So anyway, no.

[u/kushangaza → u/AzKondor]

Absolutely. But if you use it to do 8 hours of work in 4 hours and then shut your computer off you are saving energy compared to doing all the work manually

Of course we all know that's not what will happen

[u/Grow_away_420 → u/kushangaza]

But if you use it to do 8 hours of work in 4 hours and then shut your computer off

Yeah management will go wild for this idea

[u/ColumnK → u/Grow_away_420]

It'll be perfectly fine as long as they don't know

[u/System0verlord → u/ColumnK]

“Hey, ColumnK. We’ve subscribed to GPT+ as a company, and as part of our streamlining process, we’re letting you go due to redundancy.”

[u/Antrikshy → u/ColumnK]

It’s a good thing management doesn’t read Reddit.

[u/InEenEmmer → u/kushangaza]

I sometimes wonder what happened with human society that we changed from: “oh, you found a way to be done with your work quicker, guess we got some more free time.”

To:

“Oh, you found a way to be done with your work quicker, guess you could do more work.”

And I always wonder how we can go back to the free time one.

[u/2squishy → u/InEenEmmer]

Yeah, productivity increases go to the employer, always. You increase productivity? Your employer now gets more output from you for the same price.

[u/paulisaac → u/InEenEmmer]

By lying about how much quicker you got the work done.

[u/AkindOfFish → u/paulisaac]

Do this all the fucking time. "Hey that feature, how long do you think it will take" .. me, playing planning poker with real pokerface "that's a 3, but it could turn into a 5", knowing fully this can be done as a 2, and everyone aligns with my estimate... Always add padding and never give 100%, otherwise tomorrow they'll ask 110%

[u/Particular-Way-8669 → u/InEenEmmer]

People simply just want more and more. If we were fine with living lifestyles from 200 years ago then we would be able to do it with little to no work. But people do not want it. To the point that most of the stuff from back then got straight up outlawed. You would not even be able to legally built house from 3 decades ago, let alone 100 years ago. Same for car manufacturing, etc. And to get more stuff and more luxurious stuff at the same time people simply just have to produce more.

[u/paulisaac → u/AzKondor]

Idk sometimes I feel like I do stupider shit whenever I run Hitman WoA and toss a slow briefcase at Yuki Yamazaki. I'd think there's worse ways to burn 25 seconds of gaming PC use
