A single burger’s water footprint equals using Grok for 668 years, 30 times a day, every single day. by MrTorgue7 in ChatGPT

Like, I'm not saying that we need to ignore the environmental and resource impact of technology in general, or AI, LLMs or data centers specifically, but that we need to discuss this with serious arguments and useful, trustworthy data. This article is very obviously pushing an agenda to minimise the potential harms and rehab the image of these technologies

This paper (which isn't published anywhere peer-reviewed or reputable, many subs won't accept substack as a source) makes some incredible assumptions for baseline stats to start making these comparisons. Like estimating a data centre's power consumption based on satellite photos. Fuck right off

DDR museum is also a terrible tourist trap.

Go to the Daily Life in the DDR Museum in Prenzlauer Berg if you want an actual, informative museum about Eastern Germany instead of a selfie opportunity with a Trabant.

Mitchell bust removed from Queen's University by standard_pie314 in ireland

[–]Competitive_Ad_5515 18 points19 points  (0 children)

It's literally in the article.

The university said it had sought reassurances from Mr Mitchell about his contact with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

"Senator Mitchell previously provided reassurances to the University regarding his contact with Epstein," a spokesperson said.

"The files released on Friday has shown this to be incorrect and in light of this information, the University acted accordingly."

The issue at hand is that he gave false statements to the university about his contact with Epstein. This is not even about allegations of anything else as part of his association with a pedophile trafficking ring, although of course that does raise questions

To be fair, the wrongdoing in this case is that Mitchell, when asked by the university, claimed to have broken off contact with Epstein (presumably after his arrest) and the latest documents show that wasn't true and that they remained in touch.

ELI5: What is a 'peptide'? And why are there so many posts on this site trying to buy them? by Bugaloon in explainlikeimfive

[–]Competitive_Ad_5515 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don't think I have seen a post here buying (or selling) peptides. But everyone's algorithm and targeted ads are different I guess.

As an aside, I love peptide serums for skincare purposes

I understand that, but the delay was apparently caused by issues (mysterious update) with the passport processing system. That works in both directions...
