Accepting that something is a genocide and stressing that genocide is bad but also other genocides exist doesn't sound like denial to me but you do you
Ok numbers obviously not your strong suit. Displacement of 700k ppl, whilst obviously a tragedy on a massive scale, is not equatable to the murder of 8+ million. That is my claim. If you wish to dispute it plz tr harder than 'genocide denier', just because you happen to care more about this one.
This is how you end up with a 99.7% completed gzip of bob Dylan's entire catalog and have to restart on a new, uncompressed stream that's 10x larger
Fortunately the significantly improved download speed from the 6 heroic always-online seeders mitigated your concerns somewhat. But where were they before?
Oh really? Well you've made me think about the issues I split out into sides:
climate change: it's bad / fuck it
trans ppl: they cool / they're a perversion of gods design
God: idk whatever / The Christian God
guns: dangerous! Restrict! / I need guns
immigration: ok / not ok
women: human / subhuman
state funded healthcare: yes plz / no tnx
public transport: love it / hate it
bikes: I am literally a bike / I literally just killed a bike
These aren't all aligned. Probably not all of them are a left/right divide to you. They're probably not even all 100% applicable to your lived reality - not everybody has spent much time thinking about God - but I am curious where you think you're left and where you think you're right, or what I'm missing from my incredibly glib yet serious list.
You got downvoted because everyone on the left thinks 'I'm centrist' is just something ppl say to disguise themselves whilst they say a bunch a right-wing shit; everyone on the right thinks the war has already begun, you gotta nail your flag to the mast, and why hide how you really feel; and everyone who's actually in the centre gave up discussing politics on social media years ago because it's detrimental to your mental health.
You can't make the point that way without invalidating other ppls lived experiences -- anything that people find value in doing has value for those people. Some people find value in ai output. Not me, but I know enough to know that my experience doesn't speak for all. Yeah, obviously, they're incredibly wasteful and it's worth challenging them, but asking if you know how much time is spent on a query is a bit bollocks, it's enough to know that.
Fine, valid point that I agree with but it's not what was asked. You previous poster asked 'What's the cost', now you're implying 'What's the point?'. Not the same question at all
Relative to what? Do you know how much water and energy goes into a single bing query? Into leaving your laptop in standby overnight instead of turning it off? Into using your phone whilst you take a shit instead of reading a book or playing with a yo-yo? Do you know how much water and energy goes into electronically paying for a pack of gum with a card? With a phone? With a watch? What about into building your house? Your office? Your car? Your gym? How much is used up by keeping a dog for precisely one year? How much, in total future cost to humanity's resource consumption, if you have a child?
No I don't fucking know, it's a completely unrealistic standard to hold people to.
Because after all, if someone else can just come along and remove something I said, surely I should be permitted the same capability
