The sheer waste that accompanies image and video genAI is actually terrifying. I challenge OpenAI to put a "your carbon footprint" field next to each generation. If you have nothing to hide, more information is surely better, right?

I propose they use my body for compost to power their electricity turbines, in exchange for a advance in tokens while I am alive...I am overweight and that is good, more burning mass. We could settle at 2 million USD.

The waste overall for data centers is beyond terrifying. Enough water for 1.2 billion people. It’s like all the GenX and Boomers looked at the challenges younger people will face and decided make it as bad as possible start kicking them in the ribs for good measure.

Theres going to be a reckoning.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

would you like a carbon receipt for your video gaems, netflix, and reddit sessions?

Bad examples. Use meat consumption. It will blow any other kind of "non-essential" resource use out of the water, on ALL fronts. It's really hard to believe that people care about the personal impact of their decisions, when it's only ever other peoples decisions that get talked about.

Which is, BTW, a funny way of thinking of living creatures.

Having a lot of fun with my son using an image of him and dressing him in all kinds of costumes. How is that depressing to you?

If you're not familiar of the pitfalls of this tech, and the fact that there are more ethical tools with which to do those things, I'm not sure what to tell you.

If you want to discuss a matter, it would be nice to spell out your point of view.

How is the person supposed to know your opposing point of view if you don't tell it?

Omg, I love how the first examples just show how easy you can fake things. Fake being at a party with your friends. Didn't make your bed, no problem, just fake it. The sad part is my mother would love "remixing" my old child photos of me.

I’m less concerned about faking being at a party with friends and more with the 2006 timestamp on said photo!

Can you imagine finding a stack of photos in the basement with timestamps of the Before AI times and wondering whether they are real or just got swapped with generated and printed fakes? Scary!

It’s cool, folks… nothing bad is going to happen. Right? Right?!

This an oddly cynical comment, that I think says more about the observer than the observed. People are having fun making images. Like they do all sorts of things on the web. Making an image is as simple as visiting a web-page. That's it.

Yeah ignoring the massive environmental, social, and moral implications I suppose it’s not a big deal at all.
