Sounds like the environment they wish to cultivate, just like the Disney Vault.

Edit: not defending, it sounds like their products should move to obscurity, like anime in the 80’s.

I’m in govt IT and looking to prevent this feature.

Out of the criticisms I have of Vance, I do have to say that he wears the Trump uniform better than Trump himself.

This may be rude, but we talked about this elsewhere in this thread.

The spec is too use 4 of 24 pins each for power and another 4 for ground. What if you used 16 pins for power? One could even be reckless enough to use 22 pins for power If the ground isn’t tied together, but that means you have to take a moment to sense ground.

Maybe you will see 8.5a at the device, but 10a at the source with the cable heating up…

That’s a good point. I’m guessing my numbers might refer more to cloud providers than individuals with smaller data sets.

I was using a pretty broad brush. Some of the figures were higher, some were lower, but it many were consistently around .3. Feel free to take it with a grain of salt. Even if I’m over by 50%, it is still a large number.

I’m not 100% down with these numbers. The verge has a breakdown of energy usage for generation and training, and you could argue that demand is responsible for training.

I would also argue that energy usage would be directly related to water usage. Unless there is passive cooling unrelated to the energy generation, the evaporation would be directly related to the energy cost.

I didn’t collect sources while I was coming this, but I found that it takes about .3 KWH to generate an AI image - about the same as fully charging a smartphone. 1kwh is ~860 kCal (one Calorie = kCal = 1000 calories) 1 image is ~282 Calories 1 Calorie heats 1 liter of water 1 degree It takes ~540 Calories to vaporise 1 liter 2 images vaporize a liter of water There are ~30k liters in an 18 foot above ground pool with 4ft of water. There were 15 billion images generated daily in May 2024 As of August 2023, people have generated almost 15.5 billion AI-generated images, and each day sees approximately 34 million new AI-generated images. 17 million liters vaporized daily, about 500 swimming pools This put my numbers at ~250k swimming pools vaporized so far.
