⚡ Researchers Just Found Something Extremely Alarming About AI's Power Usage
｢ As detailed in a new paper, researchers from the open-source AI platform Hugging Face found that the energy demands of text-to-video generators quadruple when the length of a generated video doubles — indicating that the power required for increasingly sophisticated generations doesn’t scale linearly ｣
They are called "Hugging Face" for real? Like, not a The Onion headline - they actually named their company as an allusion to one of H.R. Gieger's abominations?
Since the videos need to maintain correlation in time, that's neither a shocking, nor even a surprising result. Every mathematician or computer scientist worth their salt could have predicted that. Well, it's likely they did, but were drowned out by the hype.
Well, the headline is worst clickbait: we should not forget that other uses of #AI may show also nonlinear increases and the increase of energy use in AI #datacenters is already climate-killing high. (And that's beside the waste of drinking water.)
Didn't every US state have a variation of this postcard? Using that font, with a state's tourist attractions pictured inside the letters. I might be misremembering.

"I think all our society is run by insane people for insane objectives. I think we're being run by maniacs for maniacal ends, you know? If anybody can put on paper what our government and the American government etcetera and the Russian, Chinese what they are actually trying to do, you know, and how what they think they're doing. I'd be very pleased to know what they think they're doing. I think they're all insane, you know, but I'm liable to be put away as insane for expressing that, you know? That's what's insane about it. I mean, don't you agree?" — J. Lennon, 6 June 1968 youtu.be/RqQQdjy44GA
"I want peace now. We can get peace now if we want it now. Anybody knows that the people have the power. All we have to do is awaken the power in the people. The people have the power. They put the politicians in power. We are the government. The people are the government. And the people have the power." — J. Lennon youtu.be/ChXdDEj0t6k

Romania: Legal coup in an EU member state
A constitutional court overturns election results, an opposition candidate faces up to 20 years in prison – all under the label of “national security.” Evidence? None.
MANILA, Philippines – Apart from ghost projects, the country should also be talking about conflict of interest in light of the flood control projects corruption scandal.
Under many laws — including the 1987 Constitution no less — conflict of interest is strictly prohibited. Aside from banning politicians from having other occupations other than their elective positions, the laws also bar them from having direct or indirect financial interests in government contracts.
Unfortunately, the Philippines has several politicians linked to government contractors. Either these officials are contractors themselves, or it’s their family members or allies.

This morning I was talking to a neighbour about him trying to get meaningful employment in South East Cornwall. Yeah, I know, there hardly i s any down this way and Employers seem to think that commuting more than 15 minutes is far too much for anyone to have to do.
Anyway, the conversation turned to Indeed, which is apparently less popular for finding a job than Face Ache, however it is somewhere employers tend to use round here for some unknown reason. I made a few comments then remembered reading something here about Indeed having an Opt Out thing regarding AI using your profile in LLM which would include pretty much all your personal data.
Can anyone point me in the direction of how to disable this once and for all please? It is Indeed specific and probably within the settings somewhere but seems to be buried in a pile of dried moss somewhere.
Thanks in advance (As usual DDG search is coning up with how wonderful AI is on Indeed!!!)
