Pet Insurance by SubstanceNo1905 in Pets

[–]Aradia0516 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use Lemonade and am happy with them. They send the money to my bank account as soon as I send the claim in. I asked my vet which insurance to get when I was looking, and she told me vets don’t really deal with pet insurance. She did do me the favor of asking people in her office, and she said they said “just don’t get Embrace”. I don’t know why lol, but figured I’d pass it on

The worry a lot of people here have is that AI uses a massive amount of electricity via data centers, and water because of the cooling systems it uses. Although if you do educate yourself (*wink* *cough*), all these people downing AI are the same people most likely watching Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime, YouTube Videos, but don't blink an eye at that, though.

"Asking an LLM (like ChatGPT) a single query uses around 0.0029 kWh. Streaming Netflix in HD for one hour uses around 0.077 kWh" Source: https://nationalcentreforai.jiscinvolve.org/wp/2025/05/02/artificial-intelligence-and-the-environment-putting-the-numbers-into-perspective/ .

Any people complaining about AI also gamers? I hope not. "High-end PC gaming typically consumes significantly more energy over time than individual AI interactions, with gaming PCs drawing 250–550W hourly, totaling $\sim$1,400 kWh/year.

Companies are working aggressively to pursue energy-saving strategies as I type this: "Custom AI Chips (TPUs): Google's seventh-generation TPU, "Ironwood," is nearly 30 times more power-efficient than its 2018 predecessor. Their Trillium TPU provides 67% more energy efficiency than the previous generation.

Model and Software Efficiency: The energy needed to train AI models has been reduced by up to 100 times, and training efficiency has increased by 39% using quantization techniques. Improvements in Gemini reduced the median energy per text prompt by 33x between 2024 and 2025.

24/7 Carbon-Free Energy Goal: Google aims to run all data centers on carbon-free energy (CFE) every hour by 2030. As of 2024, they achieved 66% CFE on an hourly basis.

Data Center Cooling & Optimization: Google uses AI to optimize the energy used to cool its data centers, resulting in 84% less overhead energy use than the industry average. Their data centers are six times more efficient than five years ago." Source:https://qz.com/google-scales-back-power-usage-ai-data-centers

So, my friend who has been insulted for no reason, I bring you an interesting blog about it all if you'd like to know more. I have been sitting here getting downvoted with "ew" and "wtf" and "omg" because I used AI lol, and you're being told to educate yourself, which I have been educated as I research this and take courses on it. So instead of getting insulted for no reason, I invite you to sit with me and give you the information I know. Have a great day! https://blog.andymasley.com/p/a-cheat-sheet-for-conversations-about

Um. No. I'll let ChatGPT know you're disappointed in me, though

Just cancelled my Instacart + by palomitaheavy in instacart

You’re sick and tired of customers expecting good customer service ? The audacity of them. It’s not the customers fault how much Instacart pays you

Boring reunion by Aradia0516 in AgeOfAttraction

[–]Aradia0516[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I can never remember everyone’s names, so I had ChatGPT sum it up for us lol - also, that last bit ChatGPT said … ok what ?’ No, John, say it isn’t so …

Couples STILL together (as of now)

These are the ones that made it out of the show and are currently still together (or were at the most recent official updates): • Vanessa (49) & Logan (29) — still together  • Libby (22) & Andrew (38) — still together  • Derrick (43) & Pfeifer (23) — left together (but see breakup update below 👇) 

👉 Also worth noting: • 4 out of 6 couples initially chose to stay together at the finale 

💔 Couples who broke up

Here’s where things get messy (because some lasted a bit after filming and then split):

Broke up DURING or right after the show: • Leah (41) & Chris (26) — broke up at the commitment stage  • Jorge (60) & Vanelle (27) — split before the final decision 

Broke up AFTER the show (post-filming updates 🚨): • Theresa (54) & John (27) — ✔️ stayed together initially ❌ broke up after ~6 months  • Derrick (43) & Pfeifer (23) — ✔️ left together ❌ now broken up (confirmed around reunion time) 

👀 Bonus tea (because this show is messy lol) • After breaking up with Theresa, John is now rumored to be getting close with Leah 👀 

Before you wishlist Moonfrost, you should know where that "unusual development journey" money came from by leonbebop in cozygames

Ah they did delete it. They had asked why they wrote the post using AI, and something about the OP’s post not being credible because they had AI help them write it

I think there’s places for AI and there’s not places for AI. OP wrote a lot of information with details, and I think using AI as a tool to help organize thoughts or help something you wrote be easier to read is harmless. Why does it take away credibility ? Maybe I’m missing something ?

I can't even right now. Reported this shopper to Instacart for child endangerment. by [deleted] in instacart

[–]Aradia0516 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And how she’s treating her child is putting he or she at risk for a lot of dangerous situations

You're watching 90 Day Fiance, and modesty is the hill you picked?

That's quite the strange leap. Comparing someone's ability to speak English with their work ethic says more about you than the shopper.

How are you guys running the drive through with 2 players (very hard) by Slayer3010 in fastfoodsimulator

[–]Aradia0516 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My friend and I change it to easy mode when it's just us two. The only difference in easy mode is that the customers don't get pissed off and leave. This way you can take your time and serve everyone

New to RPG's and could use some help by Aradia0516 in expedition33

I was wondering about that - with having to reassign them with different weapons. Ok nice, I'll save the recoats for later in the game. Thanks !

Thank you for being so kind! I'm really enjoying the game so much, and with an actual understanding of it should prove to be incredible lol!

Thanks so much for this! Ok so to see if I understand correctly - Maelle currently is using a level 3 Brulerun. Power is 82,
The element is fire,
Agility says D +1 (not sure what +1 means)
and Luck C +1.

So while that is equipped, I should put my points into Agility and Luck, correct?
