This looks like even more gibberish than regedit to be honest…

Good question, I’ll look it up!

I know what you mean, but it’s not really possible to manually denoise a picture the way the AI denoiser does. Let alone within 10 seconds. Plus, it’s more of a niche usage. I don’t think it consumes all that much energy.

Generating shitty images, creating deepfakes, prompting all kinds of bullshit… now that is a waste of energy as it really just makes the world worse. AI generated articles are popping up all over the internet. They aren’t even reviewed anymore. Enshittification of the internet took some gigantic strides since the AI boom.

Lol, Copilot is easily the dumbest AI assistant. It’s completely useless, it just spews bullshit.

The only really useful AI thing is the denoiser in Adobe Lightroom. I can shoot pictures in pitch black darkness with the highest ISO settings. Obviously it is a grainy mess. The denoiser manages to clean that up while retaining all of the details. It’s really fucking great!

Anything else is just novelty bullshit.

I guess that’d work if you live in a very remote area, alone, without neighbors.

I’m inclined to agree. While life is kinda good in Europe, it’s getting more and more difficult to lead a somewhat wealthy and happy life here. And now the fucking Nazis are on the rise again, it makes me sick. I’d absolutely prefer to live in NZ or Australia but I don’t want to tear my daughter away from her social surroundings just yet.

Mate, they closed the power plants because they have long surpassed their design operating hours. The upkeep alone costs so ridiculously much, no one can pay that kind of shit. Germany has even postponed the closing date due to the immediate crisis the Russians have created.

Most people who are against nuclear power, have the following reasons:

• it’s the most expensive form of energy due to massive regulations
• the power plants take way too long to build
• nuclear waste is a problem, no one wants to have it buried near their homes
• the fissile material is already rare and difficult to come by, mostly sourced from politically difficult regions, such as fucking Russia

Nuclear power is not a solution.
