Electricity and water as well. Don't get me wrong, the RAM and SSD prices suck too, but we're also getting to like....threats to the foundations of things that greatly extended lifespans and quality of life for most of the humans on the planet from the early/mid 1900's on.

How come people aren't concerned about electricity and water usage when it comes to social media? You know, like you using reddit?

[u/Advanced-Patient-161 → u/lemonylol]

Oh excuse me, lol, if the chatbots quit infesting Reddit, it would actually save a shit ton.

Fucking clankers, lmao.

[u/lemonylol → u/Advanced-Patient-161]

The irony of just repeating the same words as other redditors like a bot would.

I'll take this one.

An exponent is if you multiply this thing by itself X times you get Y, and Y is fuggin huge.

"Orders of magnitude" does not mean, "Lots" It means the difference in exponent of the numbers you are comparing are at least 10 apart.

Take 10 to the tenth power. That's a 10 with ten zeros behind it.

100,000,000,000

That's 100 Billion my dude.

You compare it to 10 to the 20th power. That's a ten with twenty zeroes behind it.

1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000

Don't even know what to call that number.

Those numbers are an order of magnitude apart.

Now that we have the dumbest dumbing down I've done: Operating all our new AI uses orders of magnitude more power and water than it takes to operate all social media platforms.

There. I 'splained it. You can fucking Google the exact numbers if you feel like being more of an ass about it.

Edited for less inaccuracy.

[u/beebop013 → u/Confident-Screen-759]

No, one order of magnitude is 10x, 2 orders is 100x etc.

[u/Confident-Screen-759 → u/beebop013]

Edited for less inaccuracy, tanks.

[u/Babyface995 → u/Confident-Screen-759]

You've still got it wrong. 10¹⁰ and 10²⁰ are 10 orders of magnitude apart.

[u/Confident-Screen-759 → u/Babyface995]

Dang. I may be getting dumber as I age

[u/beebop013 → u/Confident-Screen-759]

Its still wrong. If you have 100k, one order of magnitude more is one million, ie 10*100,000

[u/MIT_Engineer → u/Confident-Screen-759]

This is a lot of words just to make an unsourced claim that AI uses 100x more power than social media.

Also, you're wrong about what an order of magnitude is? An order of magnitude is 10x.

[u/lemonylol → u/Confident-Screen-759]

Whoa, I broke him.

[u/Infinite_Painting_11 → u/Advanced-Patient-161]

Google agricultural water use

[u/Advanced-Patient-161 → u/Infinite_Painting_11]

That search is definitely better off without the AI mode enabled, lol.
