@DJGingerBanks YES ! i have never heard anybody talk about the hearing loss and the ringing

Anyone else ever cum so hard you lose your hearing briefly and then have a slight ringing in your ears after? 🙈

@AndyMasley Well written clarification as usual Andy

I've had a very nice back-and-forth email exchange with Shaolei Ren, who provided the original "AI uses a bottle of water per prompt" estimate with the Washington Post. I wanna be clear that he's more concerned than I am about AI's broader water use, so I don't want this to be read as him agreeing with me on my larger points, but he specifically agrees that his estimate for the water bottle per prompt is now outdated. Specifically: "The 2024 estimate was time-specific, assumption-based, and should not be used to describe general AI/ChatGPT or today’s optimized systems." His specific estimate for an average chatbot's water cost now is ~15 mL if you include the offsite costs. 33x lower than the bottle of water. So I do want to plant a flag and say "The person who provided the original sole estimate that chatbots use a bottle of water per prompt agrees that now that we have better information and more optimized systems, this is no longer the case, and models use ~15 mL each if you include the offsite costs, roughly 5 mL in the data center itself." It's silly that in 2026 educated people still believe that AI uses a bottle of water per normal prompt. No one investigating this believes it anymore.

@Vibelawyer @Aella_Girl his rates are really affordable

@Vibelawyer @Aella_Girl i found him on only fans and i send him dms berating him daily

@noa_tate_ fantastic posting noa

yes, love (abstract) conquers all, but love (particular) can handle maybe 6 things at a time

@yacineMTB yes

When I worked at twitter; I got ping'd by someone from the bot detection team asking me if my usage was natural -- I hit one of their new test bot detectors. Then I sent him a video of how I use this website and he was like "oh.."

there is a motte and Bailey with “posthumanism” where the <whichever side is the easy to defend one i always forget> is that we’ll get lots of implants and upload ourselves if we want and the hard-to-defend one is that we’ll be replaced by Claude instances and it will be fine

@danielbrottman previously this didn't work, it's working now

@danielbrottman if this is because of group chats, i've muted all my group chats, now when i see a notification dot there, it's because somebody DMed me

@pettylark cronch cronch

@bashu_thanks ah like Prometheus. Chained to a cliff drafting new pages each night, only for a buzzard to come eat them each day

I have a couple short essays that are now languishing in my drafts. Wife says they are good and postable but... somehow I'm not quite satisfied

@pettylark this has been a clarification, by bashu

@pettylark not like "LESBIAAAAAANS"

@tenobrus begrudging admiration must feel like chamois leather on your ego

@tenobrus which is probably one of the types of reactions that the buyer would enjoy anyways
