If you don’t use AI for climate reasons then you should read the recent reports about how little electricity and water is actually used. It’s basically zero (image and video models excluded). Your information about this is probably related to GPT3.5 or something. Which is now 3 years old - a lifetime in AI world.
They use a massive amount of energy during training. During inference they use a tiny amount of energy, less than a web search (turns out you can be really efficient if you don't mind giving wrong answers at random, and can therefore skip expensive database queries!)
Looking at https://platform.openai.com/docs/pricing, GPT 3.5 is $1.50-4 per million output tokens, and GPT 5 is $0.40-120, with plain "gpt-5" with no qualifiers going for $10/million.
GPT5 is probably cheaper in the sense that gpt5-nano is at least as capable as 3.5 while costing less, but the "normal" models are more expensive for the newer ones, and thats what people are generally going to be using.
This demonstrates the incompetence in tech in EU. Either she wants to enforce laws for the common people and not for the elite, or she is incompetent enough to believe that deleting text messages affects storage.
> incompetent enough to believe that deleting text messages affects storage.
Do you think that message somehow magically don't have a size? Phones aren't able to receive messages when they have no storage for that. I have been regularly deleting messages for that reason.
Depends on the phone. The phones I had this problem with don't do more complicated things than "receive simple text messages", so they also don't have the storage for more. I guess when you do shady contracts you would use a burner phone, so it's quite likely that this was the case here.
A few seconds of video on a recent phone is quickly the size of thousands of text messages. So the size of a text message is basically zero. So deleting text messages for the sake of storage is ridiculous
I'm not saying that text messages don't need storage space. I'm saying that they require so little that it's pointless to delete text messages. And it seems like you are deliberately trying to not acknowledge that. Are you now going to say that you once deleted a text message and saw 1 kb storage freed or what
And I am saying that this is highly subjective. In fact there are phones that require you to regularly delete message, so you can receive new messages. This can also lead to a habit that persist even when using a newer phone.
I also delete kb-sized files on my computer, even when my partition size is measured in GB.
And did it achieve the desired effect? I don't think so. But it caused banner fatigue and insane amount of cognitive load while not improving privacy for probably +90% of people.
Desired by whom? At this point the desire of EU legislators is to make sure that EU never gets any chance of success in the tech field. Cookie banners do serve this goal well.
If it sees the shape of a fire extinguisher, the diffusion model will "know" it should be red. But that's not all that's going on here. Hair color etc seems impossible to guess, right? To be fair I haven't actually read the paper so maybe they explain this
Only 8,000 GPUs to start and potentially 31,000 over time.
This is very small compared to Stargate Norway (announced almost 2 months ago), which starts out with 100,000 GPUs and planned (!) to have 250,000.
Yes. But interesting that Stargate Norway is so much more significant. Not that it should be directly connected, but UK has more than 10x the population of Norway. So given a very simplified glance at the situation, Norway seems to have a strong position for the coming years in AI.
The Norwegian deployment will be cheap to run and so easy to sell. It's clearly intended for people outside of Norway to use. So it's big.
The UK deployment will be expensive to run and only people who are limited to UK for regulatory reasons will want it. There are few such customers so it's small.
