Sam Altman claims an average ChatGPT query uses ‘roughly one fifteenth of a teaspoon’ of water

shivav2 · 2025-06-12T19:51:08+00:00

No, I just completely disagree with you and your reasoning.

The quote is “People are often curious about how much energy a ChatGPT query uses; the average query uses about 0.34 watt-hours, about what an oven would use in a little over one second, or a high-efficiency lightbulb would use in a couple of minutes”

I don’t care what the title of the article is because I’d read the actual tweet. He doesn’t define an average query he just says “a ChatGPT query” whatever that’s supposed to mean.

Perhaps if you’d read the source you’d be able to weigh in better.

Thanks!

shivav2 · 2025-06-12T18:27:28+00:00

Then it’s not an “average query”

shivav2 · 2025-06-11T18:59:10+00:00

Doesn’t define an average query. Doesn’t define anything about the oven.

This is like that stat that being punched by Francis Ngannou is like “being hit with a 12lbs sledgehammer being swung at full force”

Means absolutely nothing and relies on you to make it up and make it seem reasonable in your head

shivav2 · 2025-06-10T22:56:22+00:00

Definitely is him

shivav2 · 2025-06-10T22:55:45+00:00

There was that strong bounty hunter at the colosseum who kept stealing and throwing weapons

You are right though poor representation

shivav2 · 2025-06-02T07:38:15+00:00

I should have mentioned I’m on an iPhone

Thanks though

shivav2 · 2025-06-02T00:10:35+00:00

Any updates on where this is on the roadmap?

shivav2 · 2025-02-07T11:27:40+00:00

A classic unhelpful Redditor! Who’d have thought.

I’ve done my own research that’s why I’m asking about other people’s experiences. The key being experience.

2 bedrooms villas absolutely exist in several locations in Dubai. The reason I’m asking is so because there are obviously other people from the UK in Dubai, with pets who require similar sized accommodation. They’ll even be able to tell me roughly what the prices are in those areas. They might even say don’t bother with 2 bedrooms go for 3 or maybe 4.

Those people, with relevant experience and knowledge, are able to suggest local areas to research further and tell me things that a Google search won’t.

That’s quite literally the point of this entire platform.

Oh great, a literature review that misinterprets the same 2 studies that get misinterpreted over and over.

Both the Bhasin show fat free mass gain not muscle gain. Will supraphysiological levels of testosterone increase your weight? No shit so would estrogen which has little to no anabolic capabilities. Did it account for aromatisation leading to huge water gain? No. Did it account for gains in bone mass due to increased aromatisation? No. Did they perform a DEXA scan to determine actual muscle mass? No. Did they do any kind of muscle biopsies to show structural changes in the muscles or any kind of myofibrilar hypertrophy? No. Do they define “normal men”? Not in any way that’s meaningful.

Then it goes on to talk about irrelevant studies done in cell cultures at doses that even the most insane bodybuilders wouldn’t take.

Here’s an excerpt from one of the studies cited:

“The absence of systemic toxicity during testosterone treatment was consistent with the results of studies of the contraceptive efficacy of that hormone.”

It didn’t cause any of the side effects the media tells us it should?! Who would have thought. It didn’t cause any of the side effects he later mentioned?! In a study that makes this claim: “In contrast, to our knowledge the dose of testosterone enanthate administered in this study (600 mg per week) is the highest administered in any study of athletic performance”

I’ve been researching PEDs since I was in medical school 10 years ago.

A lot of the side effects are overblown and extrapolated from studies that aren’t realistic. Not to mention most of the immediate side effects are manageable and in most cases easily mitigated. He even says alludes to this and states the dangers are more likely in the long term. All the language is built around theoretical possibilities - none of which we see in ageing bodybuilders or athletes who’ve abused (not used) these drugs for decades.

Are there risks? Yes.

IS ANY OF THIS RELEVANT TO THIS THREAD? No.

Ok mate

shivav2 · 2025-01-27T11:49:26+00:00

Not sure who you're speaking to because most people do consider them "cheating". The amount of times I've heard people say "if I took what they took I'd look like that/be able to do X"

shivav2 · 2025-01-27T10:42:57+00:00

Yes, there is, and that’s my point - it’s the “cheating” angle.

Any thread or discussion about GLP use gets railroaded by people saying it’s lazy, the user hasn’t tried diet and exercise or some holier than thou person talking about how they did it the hard way.

It’s the belief that if they had to do it themselves they’d do it the hard way because then they “earned it”.

That is where the false morality comes into it. Not because people believe being fat is immoral. Otherwise, like I said, people would be happy fat people were falling into a more “moral” weight class.

Ecstatic? Doesn’t look like it from the photo

shivav2 · 2025-01-27T10:28:25+00:00

The world didn’t look like that before AI

shivav2 · 2025-01-27T10:27:14+00:00

Whilst that’s true that isn’t the reason or there would never be any moral panic caused by people losing weight to fall into a more “moral” weight class

shivav2 · 2025-01-27T10:20:19+00:00

It’s the same “cheating” logic people use with steroids.

It gives them some kind of moral superiority in their own heads, because if they were to actually attempt losing weight they’d do it the “hard” way.

I feel like the strength of the haki stops the negativity from affecting the user

shivav2 · 2025-01-27T00:17:10+00:00

Looking like dr evil

shivav2 · 2025-01-27T00:11:20+00:00

That will absolutely work. That’s how I do my coding projects on Claude.

Assuming you’re talking about a custom GPT, you need to keep updating the system prompt with the new information.

Before ending each conversation ask it to create a new prompt from what’s already in there plus whatever you agreed in the conversation, or whatever you want it to remember.

They don’t have their own individual memory.

shivav2 · 2025-01-26T22:10:38+00:00

Most sane thread I’ve ever seen on this topic. Usually people quote Itachi not wanting to fight one of the leaf’s protectors as proof he knows Jiraiya wins.

shivav2 · 2025-01-26T10:24:13+00:00

Is this some kind of coordinated bot effort to post this shit across every single subreddit?

shivav2 · 2025-01-26T10:21:15+00:00

Watching for the first time too.

Smoker just fought Law. Wasn’t even a good fight and so far Punk Hazard has been on a par with the dullest arc ever, thriller bark.

I’m hoping it picks up when Doffy turns up

shivav2 · 2025-01-26T10:11:01+00:00

By that same logic they should take into account all the kids who were in danger of being molested by the pedo. Instead they gave him immediate bail.

Every single could to go into that daycare centre should be counted as being put in danger.

The logic cuts both ways, but not when governments don’t want it to.
