Unitree starts selling $16,000 humanoid robot

No one is quite sure what you're supposed to do with the robot, but you can buy one.

@arstechnica I thought it would be cool as a butler, but looking at their promotional video https://invidious.lunar.icu/watch?v=GzX1qOIO1bE I think this robot would inflict physical harm on the first day, so it's not safe outside of controlled environments. I hope I'm wrong!

"ChatGPT consumes a lot of energy in the process, up to 25 times more than a Google search. Additionally, a lot of water is also used in cooling for the servers that run all that software. Per conversation of about 20 to 50 queries, half a litre of water evaporates – a small bottle, in other words."

AI is predicted to consume twice as much energy as the whole of France by 2030

Training GPT3, took 1,287 MWh (Megawatt hours) of electricity.

@gerrymcgovern So they do, what of it? Did they steal the power? Did they force anyone to use it? What's the message here: new technologies not as efficient as older technologies?

How would you specifically target AI to enforce lower power use?

Am I gonna have to explain to my electric company why I game on a cool PC or sometimes use an electric space heater?
