I talk tech, LGBT rights, furry shit, and politics.

I talk a lot of bullshit, which is why we invented content warnings. I apply liberally, please filter what doesn't appeal :)

Admittedly it doesn't just scale the text but best thing I can see for it.

There is something really wrong with the world when citizens of one country vote for a leader, who happens to be a criminal, corrupt, and we're still waiting to hear what the other charges are going to be.
And the rest of the world seems to be paying that price for it.
I get the mechanics, but on paper it sounds mad.

I had entirely forgotten threads existed

Did my talk. It's got a story arc, it's got dramatics, it's got multiple fonts and it's got a surprise at the end!

I hate how there is zero accountability. In fact, the very MPs who whipped it up have armed guards in case someone calls them a name in the supermarket.
And yet, they continue to asset they weren't right wing enough... Terrifying.

I deeply feel these things need regulation. You *should* pay for the emissions you create regardless of whether it's your GPU or some massive server farm.
The fact that it's so cheap to do this means we're going to kill the planet by scanning pictures of food and generating fake news.

I think the most regrettable thing about AI is how the resource requirements quickly became abstracted behind datacenters.
It costs so much power (and therefore emissions) to run, but because we now fire these requests off to AWS / Google Cloud we don't see the damage we are doing.
Goes for regular workloads too, but x1000
