The worst thing is the majority of these aren’t like the AI your little brother uses when he logs into the chatgpt app. Like that contributes a little. But the real issue is that Tech companies have implimented LLMs literally everywhere in their workflows and data and services and this is taking up a ridiculous amount of computational power. These enterprise level implementations and speculative integrations (ie. adding AI somewhere that a corpo things will help but literally no one asked for it), is whats driving the biggest rise.

I’m new to this instance, but it being named after quokkas is like my favourite thing ever.

Join the quokk.au instance 😂

But in common usage it’s quite different. Like if your friend sends a pretty selfie you’ll be like “mashallah” or if your brother passes their exam, etc. Hence the comparison to “slay”.

I often heard it translated as “as god has wished” from Arabic languages (ma sha allah).

Why does the Pepper Dispenser, the larger of the pieces, not simply eat the other pieces? -Lrrrrr

Ukraine has handed over to Russia as part of an exchange a 21-year-old student who had plans to join the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU), investigative media outlet Verstka reported on Friday, citing his friends and Ukrainian military sources.

According to Verstka, Alexey Gerasimov was a former student of journalism at the Chuvash State University, who, friends said, openly supported Chuvashia’s secession from Russia. Chuvashia is a republic in Russia’s Volga region where local Chuvash, a Turkic ethnic group, form a two-thirds majority of the population.

“He would debate teachers, saying it was time for Chuvashia to secede from Russia. The teachers reported him and he was mobilised into the army,” Mishshi Oreshnikov, a Chuvash activist who fights for the AFU, told Verstka, though Verstka was unable to confirm this.

Fucking hell. Both Russia and China’s erasure of indigenous Turkic peoples is really bleak.

It’s a shame the mongabay website doesn’t let you properly see the high quality versions or zoom in.

Rentierism

In fact, it appears we live in a giant cosmic void with roughly 20% lower than the average density of matter.

Okay that’s a little less dramatic than I envisioned given the use of the word “void”

I ran

“on the brink of passing” (the article text) is a bit of an exaggeration. The latest swiss news I can find is that the government is currently doing a consultation.

Anycase, hope this doesn’t pass seems pretty awful. But even if it does I think we’re likely to see a referendum and all that, so could take a while.

Did not know the World Court was the name for the UN’s highest court…

Anyways… International law is pretty much fiction given enforcement so…

“Praying Barbie” 😭 ROFL

“If you do not accept the Han Chinese settler colonial ethnostate, you are a sinophobe.”

Is the exact same logic as “If you do not accept the Jewish Zionist settler colonial ethnostate, you are anti-semetic”.

Criticising a state project does not equal criticism of the ethnic group in it. This is bad faith false equivalence used by MLs.

Let me install bee boxes with hundreds of thousands of invasive bees to harvest honey.

(which will obviously end up outcompeting the native ones)

and then suprised pickachu face when the natives do indeed decline after you add hundreds of thousands of invasives.
