Post memes here.
A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

You know what conserves energy at nearly 100% efficiency?
A guillotine.
Net negative carbon footprint
Genghis Khan would be proud
Beautifully worded. I like you.
You know I am going to argue for the sake of it
It also conserves mass
It at least provides me with better returns than a data center.
Think about how selfish marine life is, they live in water, water we could use to cool our AI data centers! Think about that!
In a way, this whole planet is a datacenter, with the oceans as it's cooling system. We are the data.

Like, a thousand times over. Why does he keep reposting that same shower thought? Why is he so obsessed about that? Is there somewhere else he wants to kiss himself in the mirror?
This made me realize that it would be really hard to distinguish between a satirical NDT quote and something I have earnestly and profoundly thought to myself while 2 edibles into a nature documentary. And I'm not sure how to feel about that.
God I hate him so much... Well he used to just annoy me, but now I hate him
You what saves water? Setting fires in orphanages. In today's Ted talk we're going to outline ways how orphans use up water that could be better used on chunguses. Big Chunguses. Chungodes. Hayden, what's the plural for Chungus and without that word were going to struggle grammatically and I'm not sure we can advance without it
Why do we need an orphanage in the first place? Is the Orphan Crushing Machine not working?
Spoiler alert: they need orphans to run the orphan crushing machine.
Ahhh the circle of life!😍
Okay almost had me. I can't believe he would argue in favor of helping orphans.
I have no idea if things are real or satire anymore...
it's great that one of the main dicks in charge of AI uses pants-on-head stupid not-logic to justify taking water away from literally everything else for a thing that doesn't work, but still steals jobs
ALSO TO note, one of THIELS other proteges.
If we restructured society in a way that makes increases in efficiency benefit everyone I'd be fine with such things. The difference here is, however, that we don't live in such a society and that LLMs aren't actually useful or better at work that people are, it's just that managers and CEOs think they are. They will realize this in a few years after most of their software is fucked over and they'll have to hire actual developers to fix it.
The problem is we want increases in efficiency that benefit 99% of people but the 1% want the opposite and can override everyone else.
I can't tell if this is real or not. It sounds ridiculous, but he does say some ridiculous things (like how millions of years of humanity have consumed more energy than four years of data centers...). But this just seems so comically ridiculous that I have trouble believing it.
This is why I hate when people fail to make it clear when something is satire. When people get used to doubting everything they see, then suddenly when someone really does say something comically ridiculous no one believes it.
I'll point it out from time to time and people will say "it's just a meme, don't take it so seriously." But we're supposed to be the rational and intellectually honest ones, no?
So why cultivate a meme culture where we can be just as misleading and deceitful as the fascists? This isn't a fire-with-fire situation. Their goal is to rob us of our humanity; if we stoop to their level, they win.
Even if he really did say this, my point stands, because of the simple fact that it's hard to believe at face value due to the prevalence of misleading memes. There's a line between disinformation and satire. Honest memes should make it clear which side of that line they fall on.
What he said was that training humans takes a lot of water too, in defense of AI. This is a shitpost take on that.
We dont always know everything at first glance. Expecting to leads to and cultivates a lack of intellectual curiosity. Being able to consider and arrive and conclusions and then seek corroborating evidence is a useful life skill for you to try and learn.
That's a really strange way of trying to justify spreading misinformation in the form of cheeky memes.
"Washing your hands is a good habit, so when you're sick you should cough on doorknobs because it will encourage good habits."
"Women need to be careful about who they date, so men who act like total asses are really just encouraging them to think critically and practice careful consideration."
Better that than feeding his goddamn Artificial Stupidity company
Did he actually say this..?
He did not say this, but all-in-all, he did say this
"Know What Else Used a Lot of Energy? Human Civilization"

Thank you. This is exactly the answer I was hoping for ^
Actually had to make sure I wasn't on a NotTheOnion instance.
