“Most people are not aware of the resource usage underlying ChatGPT,” Ren said. “If you’re not aware of the resource usage, then there’s no way that we can help conserve the resources.”
In July 2022, the month before OpenAI says it completed its training of GPT-4, Microsoft pumped in about 11.5 million gallons of water to its cluster of Iowa data centers, according to the West Des Moines Water Works. That amounted to about 6% of all the water used in the district, which also supplies drinking water to the city’s residents.

Look, I hate #Microsoft#Recall like everyone else does, but that it singles out DRM content really isn't surprising - because that's rendered differently and the system knows.
It doesn't know about passwords, because most applications do not annotate their fields/windows for this.
The way how DRM content is handled is obvs entirely problematic in itself, but the context matters a lot for how much malice to assume for Recall rather than oblivious incompetence.

Bing’s API is down, taking Microsoft Copilot, DuckDuckGo and ChatGPT’s web search feature down too
"In this particular case, it’s interesting to see the increasingly important role of Bing’s API. While Google still dominates when it comes to web search, many services are now reliant on Bing’s API."
Relying on one company doesn't seem like a smart idea.
#DuckDuckGo going down again (#HugOps to everyone there) has really reminded my how much my unconscious workflow depends on a search engine these days.
"A global outage is affecting a variety of Microsoft services, including its Bing search engine and Copilot AI tool.
Users turned to social media on Thursday to complain about the outage, which is also impacting third parties, including the search engine DuckDuckGo, which relies on Microsoft’s infrastructure."
@viennawriter@GossiTheDog@gabboman Agree. Calling #DuckDuckGo just a #Bing front-end is technically true but also it does add a lot of value on top acting as a privacy shield not letting #Microsoft track the users. I also like the features it provides on top like bangs, etc. Also hopes it builds its own index sometime. They say they have their own index but I doubt it as it was unable to return any results even for simple queries when Bing was down.
OK - but the problem is, they're going to lend credence to #Microsoft's claims that they're "dedicated to #privacy/#security", even though we know that A. it's lip service, and B. secure, private systems are currently not technically possible at all, let alone with MS products.
The proper regulatory response would be "No & we're going to need 3rd party documentation for privacy & security before you launch anything like this again & this goes for the entire industry".
I think #Microsoft's #recall feature is such an interesting case study of #AI, for what it stands for, the reactions to it, its potential, and what underlies it in the end. Even more so, it's a fascinating case study in how small interventions (and yes, I think it's a rather small intervention) can have much bigger and weirder effects than we think.
Folks, I know… I use Duck Duck Go also but remember they have venture capital. Enjoy it while it lasts (or let’s fund and build alternatives differently that aren’t temporary businesses with profit motives and exits but commons-owned institutions working for the common good).
