Idgaf if you don't want to write essays for school. I don't care if you don't want to write corporate emails yourself. I don't care if you can't draw well, I don't care if you can't write well, I don't care if you just really really want to talk to your favorite fictional character but don't want to RP with a real person because you have social anxiety or whatever
If you're still regularly using generative ai, chatgpt or midjourney or character.ai or literally whatever the fuck, im personally blaming you when my utility prices start going up.
Why would utility prices go up because of ai?
(I am not defending the usage of generative AI/ChatGPT/Character.ai etc etc i am very much against it - I am just curious as to the correlation between using it and utility price surge please don't come at me this is a genuine question)
Happy to help.
ChatGPT uses so much energy that the US is literally reversing course on coal and gas usage to make up for it. In Santa Clara, for example, data centers used 60% of the ENTIRE CITY'S electricity.
ChatGPT uses 1-3 bottles of water for cooling for every query you put into it. This is FRESH WATER, which is evaporated and eventually mostly returns to the ocean, effectively removing a lot of it from our already dwindling fresh water supply on the planet. It also consumes 17 THOUSAND TIMES more electricity than the average American home.
The AI boom wastes so much electricity that we are very immediately risking US cities having to have rolling blackouts just to keep up with the energy demands, as early as NEXT YEAR
Gen AI's water usage is projected to hit 6.6 BILLION meters cubed by 2027
More AI use = more data centers = power drain on local cities = gas, electricity, and water utility prices rise because all of our resources are being funneled into a machine that makes garbage
I'm glad that people are still having fun on tumblr even after we found out about the frightening ghoul that reblogs posts but doesn't say anything

Once upon a time, the only way you could get to see this footage was at a Trek con where someone hsd managed to sweet-talk somebody from production into sending it along.

I'm an electrical engineer and for the longest time I was saying that electricity and electronics isn't magic, but think about it.
You literally have to collect rare stones from remote locations, put them into specific formations to work. All of this gets written down in symbols which don't make sense to the uninformed. It gets powered by energy which can not be seen in most cases.
Like what else do you want. What's your standard for calling something magic.
"It doesn't stop being magic just because you know how it works."
Terry Pratchett, The Wee Free Men (Discworld #30)
I don't know, but I really don't like Chakotay in Year of Hell when he's on Anorax's ship… it seems a bit out of character to me. I know he's much calmer and more peaceful than Janeway, but I don't imagine he'd be as calm and cooperative while his colleagues were going through the worst possible scenario.
I interpreted it as he was doing the same thing that Anoraxx had been doing. Trying to find ways to fix the timeline that would fix Voyager. He was trying to rescue Voyager and thus Kathryn the way. To me the parallel between Anoraxx trying to change timelines to get his wife back and Chakotay trying to change timelines to rescue Kathryn/Voyager is very telling. And also, very much in character.
How he feels is also in the fact that he tells Tom “Give Kathryn my regards.” Not the Captain, but Kathryn. To Tom, who smiles knowingly.
Yes, you may be right, I also prepared a post with this moment of the conversation with Tom, which I find particularly revealing about his feelings and how much Tom knew about them, having used them to manipulate Chakotay. But even so, something still bothers me about Chakotay's attitude LOL but it must be because I'm the opposite of him, I'm much more like Tom or B'Elana hahaha
You know, @insanewaykathy , it just occurred to me that this also falls in line with both he and Kathryn consistently rewriting time to find each other. There’s a bigger picture here and i don’t think they (Voy/Prodigy writers) realized they were even writing THAT plot. JC kinda did it in their own.
Maybe Braxton had a point… LOL
It's funny that JC often writes on his own 🤣🤣🤣
Those two characters want desperately to be together and they’re going to find a way whether reality agrees or not.
LOL, it's like: Kate Mulgrew: I don't know if this is a good idea. Writers: We agree, maybe it's not a good idea. People coming out of hell to give bad opinions: blah blah blah, JC are friends and shouldn't be together. Janeway, Chakotay, Kirsten Beyer, 99% of the fans and Robert Beltran: fuck it, make them have sex and get married now.
LOL true that.
Aliens were really, hostile, and invading Earth, but nothing related to that was trending on Tumblr because some big fandom stuff had also happened.
This is exactly how it would happen
If Destiel taught us anything it's that we would learn the broad strokes of what was happening (amongst may inaccuracies) via edited gifs related to the fandom stuff
