I’m afraid the power needs for AI will also not decrease. Even if individual models become more efficient and the hardware become more AI optimized. The next logical step is to run even more if those AIs as agents and creating huge chain of thoughts… So no, ai power usage will increase.
We need to leverage existing solutions like how Ana archive is working. Which makes use of torrents. https://annas-archive.org/ Like read this carefully: https://annas-archive.org/datasets
Try Tor maybe? Although it’s not very fast…
Only they called it “estimates”
Well… the numbers were from Wired: https://wired.me/science/energy/ai-vs-bitcoin-mining-energy/
ow nevermind, bitcoin mining alone is consuming 112.31 TWh annually (it’s a guess). While AI is using 29.2 TWh annually (also a guess).
And then people were complaining about cryptocurrencies… Look at this AI joke… Come on…
After reading that whole page, I think your point is missing… The use case of Tor and i2p isn’t correctly explained on that site.
Yeah, thanks for clearing this up. I was also reading: https://geti2p.net/en/comparison/tor if people want to know more in depth.
People who accepted this situation, promoted or even have implemented this are also idiots. Be warned, this can happen in every country, both US and in EU…
https://geti2p.net/en/ looks like Tor. but it is not the same?
Until archive.org soon will be ceased. Other big ROM sites were forced to close as well… It’s madness!! And we are not doing enough to prevent this. For example: https://www.timeextension.com/news/2024/06/one-of-the-webs-oldest-rom-sites-removes-games-by-nintendo-sega-and-lego
Let’s just ditch that MacOS.
as if the play store only contains safe APKs right?
Since yes, that actually happened.
You mean that this company is reselling their original product on a x86 Linux system with a emulator? Which are actually pre-installed ripped ROMs on them?
Old games & ROMs can only still be played and retrieved due to piracy. Otherwise most of these kind of games will no longer be here. And soon archive.org will kill themselves due to all the e-book and software drama… And we end up with nothing, the future generation will no longer have access to all those files, games from the 80, 90, 00’s etc.
Short squeeze here we come!
Also try to use Firefox (or a fork of Firefox) together with uBlock origin.
