Ok, I feel like there has been more than enough articles to explain that these things don’t understand logic. Seriously. Misunderstanding their capabilities at this point is getting old. It’s time to start making stupid painful.
Reminds me of how the “1800 gallons for one burger” statistic uses annual rainfall to calculate that as if it was captured, stored, and used from our kitchen sinks.
Also if you’re curious cows drink water, 9-20 gallons a day, and in the typical 1-2 year lifespan, that amounts to 3,285 on the conservative side, or up to 14,000 gallons in hot climates, per cow. And depending on the cut, some 800 quarter pound patties, and using that conservative 1 year 9 gallons a day, that is about…
4 gallons per burgers worth of meat. That total 3,000-14,000 gal/cow water usage is certainly an issue, especially in hot climates, but why make up bullshit?
Because statistics like those often ignore the fact the water they’re calculating is inaccessible for other uses. They calculate the rainwater used to make the grass grow, water we don’t collect nor have available for other uses, but it makes the number higher and shocking. If you see “14,000 gallons of water per cow” you think that’s how much water we’ve “lost” when in reality, it’s a massive bucket of rainwater they’re drinking out of, not a hit to our irrigation or water treatment facilities.
It’s a misleading statistic meant to shock and manipulate you into a specific way of thinking, a lot like your original comment. I don’t give a shit how much rainwater a cow drinks, I care about how much is being pulled from local irrigation. Rainwater is going to lay in the dirt and evaporate anyway so why is that being calculated? If the answer to how much water is being pulled from our infrastructure is nearly zero, that’s how many fucks I dedicate to it.
Should datacenters be operating in silicon valley where water is already scarce? No. But people shouldn’t also be living in a fucking desert, overdrawing from the river that lets anyone live there, so maybe they should move. Not like they can’t afford to.
There’s going to be an entire generation of people growing up with this and “learning” this way. It’s like every tech company got together and agreed to kill any chance of smart kids.
The bananum was my point. Maybe as ai improves there won’t be as many of these obviously wrong things, but as it stands virtually any google search gets a shitty wrong answer from ai, and so they see tons of this bad info well before college.
Because accuracy requires that you make a reasonable distinction between truth and fiction, and that requires context, meaning, understanding. Hell, full humans aren’t that great at this task. This isn’t a small problem, I don’t think you solve it without creating AGI.
No VPN, it all has proper location access. I even tried it with a local restaurant that I didn’t think was a chain, and it found one in Tennessee. I’m like 10 minutes away from where I told it to go.
