  • Not sure, from what I heard lot of porn people use other models anyway. Not exactly sure which models (I heard there are also places where there are jailbroken models, but im not going to look for that for obvious reasons), but from what I heard a while back grok/gemini/deepseek were popular. Low N on that however. Grok seems to be esp popular for revenge porn sort of shit however.

    For example see the usage stats here for roleplay using janitor.ai (most roleplay is not erotic however (the site has no ‘erotic content’ tracking), but still, openAI’s models are not in the top 20). This is however free vs priced models etc (and deepseek is a lot cheaper, which is important for roleplay esp if you want a history, as that context needs to be added every time (the powercost of all this must be insane)).










  • The article’s entire premise is Musk saying some random shit. Remember how Musk said that he would land a man on Mars in 10 years 13 years ago?

    This isnt the only thing, the man made so many promises that were lies, or didnt work out it is almost amazing people give him the benefit of the doubt. But people have to or the economy might crash (which seems more and more inevitable now, as a fantasist related crash cant be avoided (and it is worse, if you have seen Andreessen latest weird interview it is clear Trump and Musk are not the only mental voids with a lot of money, so they might be all like that)).

    The Blindsight vampires are here already.





  • I don’t know the answers to a lot of these questions, I assume they heat up the water, and dump it back into the rivers, which causes some disruption to the local ecosystem. Which is fine if you do it in small amounts, but it will disrupt things. (powerplants have the problem for example that some flora/fauna gets attracted to these more warmer waters, risking clogs and more. (so a datacenter does this twice, first via the powerplant generating power, and then to cool the datacenter).

    There is also the issue of contamination, while I assume they don’t put extra dirty things in the water, this is not a guarantee, nor will every municipality/gov just go with the assumption that it is clean, I assume that in some places this cooling water will need to be cleaned extra as industrial waste. Esp when there are some odd laws interacting. (I know some of those laws re waste and what counts as waste interact weirdly in .nl causing weird busywork during roadwork so they don’t run into extra costs by accidentally letting the waste count as a different class of waste).

    But yes, I think they do not recirculate, and just pump it round and dump it back into the river directly. But these sort of processes do put a strain on the water quality. (In .nl we have some problems with river water quality because our big rivers come from industrial areas of other countries, (Germany mainly)).

    I mostly posted it so that we now at least have some indication of the amounts we are talking about, as tech companies are very tight lipped about this. But as somebody who knows nothing, I do not know all the implications of it. I am however suspicious, due to a combination of natural paranoia, them being very mum about it, and me not trusting the big tech places.
