    See, the thing is, I watch piss porn. Hear me out. I told my friend that the thing is, to do piss porn, you kind of have to be into it. You could try and fake it, but it wouldn’t be very convincing. So, my contention is, piss porn is more genuine than other types of porn, because the people partaking are statistically more likely to enjoy doing that type of porn. Which is great, I think, because then they really get into it, which is hot. It’s that enjoyment that gets me off. Their enjoyment.

    She said, “Krooklochurm, you’re an idiot. Anyone can fake liking getting pissed in the face.”

    So I said, “Well, if you’re so adamant, get in the tub and I’ll piss in your mouth, and let’s see if it’s as easy as you claim.”

    So she said, “All right. If I can fist you in the ass afterwards.”

    Which I felt was a fair deal, so I took it.

    My (formal) position was strengthened significantly by the former event. And I can also attest that I could not convincingly fake enjoying being ass-fisted.

    What does that have to do with anything, you ask? Genuinity. The real deal. That’s what.

    I think the entire idea of ai and the Internet in general taking up power and water needs to be fleshed out and explained to everyone. Even to me it’s a vague notion, I heard about it a few years back but can’t explain it to someone like my parents who would have no idea the Internet requires water to run

      It’s not too hard. AI requires a LOT of work. Work requires energy. Some energy is wasted during this and the byproduct is heat. The heat has to be removed for many reasons, and water is very good at doing that.

      It’s like sweating, it cools you down. But you need water to sweat.

    Wasn’t there an article posted yesterday about a group trying to create a biological computer that was living cells do to their efficiency of use on less power? (They are far from close, they basically took skin cells, ionized them, and had no idea how they were going to get them to stay alive long term yet.

    We use about 20% of our caloric intake (at rest, not doing math) for our bio intelligence. Having superpowers of social organization is expensive and power hungry.

    So it’s really no surprise that the computation machines that can run AI require tens of megawatts to think.

    All it really takes is the Limitless pill. The protagonist in the movie Limitless gets so much done after taking the Limitless pill in the movie Limitless. Limitless is a movie about a man who discovers the Limitless pill to help him accomplish almost limitless amount of things. But he learns that there is a limit that the Limitless pill can do if he takes it for too long. Because the Limitless pill isn’t really limitless.

    Yeah, Adderall sounds terrible. Most medications are terrible. I found the only medication’s that I needed is exercise and having a good friend everything else just makes you numb and the worst thing. Yeah limitless might be Adderall terrible stuff. Probably people get hooked on stuff and now you don’t even know what’s in that stuff anymore but you know the worst thing was going to a psychologist office and he’s asking you what pills you want I guess it hit the doctor. I never went back to a psychologist ever again and everyone wants me to cure myself with my numbing drugs. I tried some. I tried to so many none of them. They ruined my concentration and they make me dull. There’s no love in life on pills. I know a couple people who abuse prescription drugs, just as bad as anything just as bad as alcohol just as bad as anything out there I signed off of weed years ago cause I just saw how devastating it is and it doesn’t even cure cancer. It’s just people using an excuse to escape. I’m tired of escaping and just I just want fresh air exercise, warm heat and my best friend that’s all I need in life.

    I think we’re at a point were the hardware right now does not fit with the algorithm being used. Since they take so much power due to our computers being digital. Having a transistor only capable of holding 1 state (0V or 5V usually) is inefficient. The heat add up as you multiply especially with LLMs. There seems to be a potential for analog where a transistor acts more on a range 0 - 5v. Which in theory could store more information or directly represent what LLM runs on (floating point). For more context 1 float tends to be 32bits. 1 bit is 1 transistor so 1 float = 32 transistor. While an analog transistor could be 1 float = 1 analog transistor.

    Ya evolution is pretty cool.

    And on that note the human physiology sacrifices quite a bit for its intelligence.

    For example the reason humans come out as babies is because if they came out with a full sized brains they’d kill the mother!

    It’s all about the most proficient use of energy.
