I found out yesterday that the carbon cost of training an AI language model is the equivalent of 300 return flights from Paris to NYC. There’s your perspective now, lads. We’re doomed.

    You would think they would build Datacentres close to the source of renewable energy to tap into excess generation more easily thus reducing their impact….but they don’t

    Same with battery storage facilities, what happened to Britvolt? Shit canned by the Uk gov

    Yet the individual will be blamed no doubt

    LT42 We’re doomed.

    But… AI is going to save us…

      RichM Trains should be a public service that is affordable. It’s crazy the prices of trains these days, and they are often a poor service

      6:55 to fancy London. Standing room only in 1st due to cancellation of previous services.

      Seat reservation out the window so I’m having to sit facing the wrong way. No space to do any work.

      The WiFi is so poor I can’t even stream @ScottBailey s latest mix. Never had to stream when I was on the promo list 😡

      Expected arrival time starting to creep and I STILL HAVEN’T HAD MY BACON SANDWICH.

      Tickets @ £550 return, standard was £370.

      Tempted to rejoin Twitter so I can FEWWWWWM

          Kin ’ell!

            Mad_Cyril Tell them to give Italy a buzz, they boxed off affordable national rail a few years back. Think just about all internal flights have now finished.

                    Train’s sporadic shitness is only surpassed by flying’s consistent shitness.

                    T3 @ MCR and T5 @ LHR make me want to kill myself.

                      A return to London from Bournemouth is £140. What a bargain.

                        The infrastructure of our great sovereign nation, sold off to Johnny Foreigner? Which lot of unpatriotic, traitorous bar stewards did this? Enemies of the people the lot of them! Off with their heads!

                          It’s an easy solve lads, just move to London.

                          You’re welcome!

                          Just wait for the food shortages to kick in.

                          Mad_Cyril Tickets @ £550 return

                          Should have flown from Rochdale Cyril Smith Airport with British Midland.

                            Are these genuine train tickets prices, mc?

                                Mad_Cyril fucking hell, the price alone is ridiculous. Even a decent journey with no delays, good wifi and a free drink and nuts shouldn’t cost that

                                At least you didn’t have to put up with listening to that god awful @ScottBailey mix, so I suppose that was a bonus 😉

                                  You can travel first class around Europe for a month on interrail for €663 going basically any country/main city you fancy. Our prices are just beyond explanation.
