ah yes the cult of checks notes wanting to keep the planet alive.
as opposed to the very normal behavior of letting a highly government subsidized industry which cant turn a profit that is causing massive pollution of not only our source of fresh water (the thing you cant live without for longer than 3 days), the air (the thing you cant live without for like 10 minutes), our soil (which is used to grow food, the thing you cant live without for iirc for a week), and our the world of information that was once at our finger tips and now has resulted in papers showing that even 1 hour of ai usage for conversing leads to extremely significant cognitive impairments.
but yes i am in a cult and not you, surely. lmfao
lmfao you can literally run gen image models on a moderate laptop nowadays, really gotta update your talking points if you want people to take you seriously https://huggingface.co/Tongyi-MAI/Z-Image-Turbo
the funniest part about your cult though is that y'all genuinely seem to think that people pouring billions of dollars into AI industry give a flying fuck about you whinging on a niche social media forum
stable diffusion has been out for a couple of years now so the point about energy waste when it comes to image generation has never made any sense.
It has gotten so bad that anything that has the two magic letters associated with it is violently rejected by the mob no matter the context.
It is the exact kind of stupid logic that was used to frame computer games as the root cause for violent kids.
pretty much sums it up
damn thats crazy dog, i dont care. people still burn down the data centers so keep crying and lying to yourself. maybe try asking chatgpt how to live off of salt water and food full of heavy metals and ecocide pollutants whilst under 150°F temps.
