While it could theoretically be done on device, it would require the device to have dedicated hardware that is capable of doing the processing, so it would only work on a limited number of devices. It would be pretty easy to test this if a known modified video were available.
They could do that without upscaling. Upscaling every video only fly would cost an absolute shit ton of money, probably more than they would be making from the ad. There is no scenario where they wouldn’t just upscale it one time and store it.
It would not make any sense for them to be upscaled on the fly. It’s a computationally intensive operation, and storage space is cheap. Is there any evidence of it being done on the fly?
I think this is a bad faith argument because it focuses specifically on chatgpt and how much resources it uses. The article itself even goes on to say that this is actually only 1-3% of total AI use.
People don’t give a shit about chatgpt specifically. When they complain about chatgpt they are using it as a surrogate for ai in general.
And yes, the amount of electricity from ai is quite significant. https://www.iea.org/news/ai-is-set-to-drive-surging-electricity-demand-from-data-centres-while-offering-the-potential-to-transform-how-the-energy-sector-works
It projects that electricity demand from data centres worldwide is set to more than double by 2030 to around 945 terawatt-hours (TWh), slightly more than the entire electricity consumption of Japan today. AI will be the most significant driver of this increase, with electricity demand from AI-optimised data centres projected to more than quadruple by 2030.
I’m not opposed to ai, I use a lot of AI tools locally on my own PC. I’m aware of how little electricity they consume when I am just using for a few minutes a day. But the problem is when it’s being crammed into EVERYTHING, I can’t just say I’m generating a few images per day or doing 5 LLM queries. Because it’s running on 100 Google searches that I perform, every website I visit will be using it for various purposes, applications I use will be implementing it for all kinds of things, shopping sites will be generating images of every product with me in the product image. AI is popping up everywhere, and the overall picture is that yes, this is contributing significantly to electricity demand, and the vast majority of that is not for developing new drugs, it’s for stupid shit like preventing me from clicking away from Google onto the website that they sourced an answer from.
If you are referring to large language models, no. They just generate words that mimic natural language.
What do you mean? Did your phone already have damage to the screen, or they were making you preemptively pay in case the screen broke?
I was going to opt for a battery replacement, but I called the local store that does the replacement, and they told me that it’s common for the screen to break during the battery swap process. And if they break the screen, I would be on the hook for the cost to replace it, around $160. I don’t know how that is even legal in the first place, but it certainly turned me off from wanting to let them change my battery. And mailing the phone in for a battery swap would leave me without a phone for weeks…
How about water usage rates that penalize bulk consumers instead of giving them cheaper rates?
I’ve been using Vivaldi as my primary browser for years. My favorite feature of Vivaldi is its powerful sidebar. It’s a great browser, but because it’s based on chrome, ublock origin will eventually stop working on it. When that time comes, I’ll be switching to a Firefox based browser. I’ve been keeping my eye on floorp, but it’s not quite where I would like it to be yet.
I could care less if it beats someone on data that already happened. Let me know how it does going forward. My guess is that it won’t beat an s&p500 index fund.
It would be nice to know what brands or models are most vulnerable.
This is an argument of semantics more than anything. Like asking if Linux has a GUI. Are they talking about the kernel or a distro? Are some people going to be really pedantic about it? Definitely.
An LLM is a fixed blob of binary data that can take inputs, do some statistical transformations, then produce an output. ChatGPT is an entire service or ecosystem built around LLMs. Can it search the web? Well, sure, they’ve built a solution around the model to allow it to do that. However if I were to run an LLM locally on my own PC, it doesn’t necessarily have the tooling programmed around it to allow for something like that.
Now, can we expect every person to be fully up to date on the product offerings at ChatGPT? Of course not. It’s not unreasonable for someone to make a statement that an LLM doesn’t get it’s data from the Internet in realtime, because in general, they are a fixed data blob. The real crux of the matter is people understanding of what LLMs are, and whether their answers can be trusted. We continue to see examples daily of people doing really stupid stuff because they accepted an answer from chatgpt or a similar service as fact. Maybe it does have a tiny disclaimer warning against that. But then the actual marketing of these things always makes them seem far more capable than they really are, and the LLM itself can often speak in a confident manner, which can fool a lot of people if they don’t have a deep understanding of the technology and how it works.
The chart isn’t about streaming services, but companies. So this is covering everything that is owned by Disney, which includes broadcast and cable channels in addition to Disney+, and probably Hulu and maybe even other things that I’m not even aware of.
Take the ai out of the main search results and I’m fine with it being there as a button. Oh wait, is that not what they are going to do?
This is for porn, right?

It’s still got a ways to go, but it’s off to a good start.
Well crap, I was using windsurf (codeium).
But if they specifically call out Tesla, they get more clickbait engagement, plus it now qualifies as a tech story! Double win!
I dunno, all I see on Roku is an image banner on the home screen. I never even look at it.
What you are looking for is a monitor. A TV will be filled with features.
