Now that sounds dystopian as fuck. Because at scale this will involve human workers being tracked all the time and limited in their freedom. Ironically an AI might be used to track what workers do in such a scenario.

Poor Slovaks. They did play very solidly.

Ignorance is bliss

So your tabloids are even writing made up shit about horses and not just the wifes of footballers

Not anymore, but they did help me out a lot during university, when I didn’t have any stable income. Now I am doing very fine. If they ever need financial help, I’d be very willing to help.

As a true American you lease one at absurdly high interest rates. You can also buy a cheap used tractor by overdrafting several credit cards.

Reality is a lot like Team Fortress 2, but you can even buy hats for tanks

In Germany, you can’t currently deport anyone just for expressing extremist views. However, recently there were demonstrations in Hamburg where about 1,000 people marched to advocate for a caliphate and Sharia law in Germany, which led to a public debate about exactly this. However, this isn’t about Palestine but about anti-constitutional extremism. Some state interior ministers are now advocating to explicitly outlaw this kind of islamist extremism, potentially paving the way for easier deportations for those advocating for a caliphate in Germany. Here’s a german article on the topic.

I like Martin Luther’s polemic about relics: “How many pieces of the true cross are there in the world? How many thorns from Christ’s crown of thorns? How many nails from the crucifixion? There are enough nails to shoe all the horses in Saxony. And if all the relics of the saints were gathered together, there would be enough bones to build a ship and enough wood to boil all the water in the sea.”

In that sense it’s one of Mary Magdalene’s many heads.

Doesn’t matter. Had sex

Without flights two or three weeks before. For roadtrips we usually only book the first hotel and then decide along the way. For air travel we book 2 or 3 months in advance and then often also do roadtrips using rental cars booking only the first and last hotel in advance.

The only short vacations I really need to plan long time in advance are multiday bike trips where I want to take a bike on a high-speed train (because there are only few places and they are booked out super early). For example for a Bike-Tour from Innsbruck to lake Garda we had to book the train 5 months in advance.

CON LOS TERRORISTAS

The clowns were driven to insanity because they just couldn’t figure out how magnets work

SDXL Turbo I guess. This needs only one diffusion pass per image, while SD 1.5 needs 8 for most images.

Still not much on an industrial scale. For example, you can compare it to the aviation industry. There are roughly 550 transatlantic flights per day and each one consumes about 5000kg of fuel per hour for 6 to 10 hours straight. A kg of jet A1 has roughly 11 kWh. So a single transatlantic flight consumes roughly 385,000 kWh of energy. So training one model still consumes a lot less energy than a single one of the 550 transatlantic flights daily.

Good point. I just tried it on my M1 macbook with 16 gb ram to get better data (but used SD 1.5 though). It took roughly 2 minutes to create an image at roughly full power load (which I would conservatively assume to be roughly identical to the 96 Watt max load of my power adapater.). So i’s 3.2 watt hours per image (with my inefficient setup)

Driving in Paris is crazy as hell, and I did drive a lot in European cities. Although the worst I’ve ever been to has to be Bucharest. People drive hyper-crazy in Romania.

Na Ghent and Brugges are lovely. Brussels is kinda meh but not superbad.

Yeah but only with a fairly efficient EV in the TESLA model 3 class. With a typical gasoline car you’d be closer to only one and half circumnaviagtions with 45.000 kWh. The average american car can apparently drive 25 Miles per Gallon. A gallon of gas has roughly 33 kWh of energy in it. That’s only 34090 miles on the energy used train stable diffusion.

I call bullshit. Stable Diffusion XL has energy footprint of about 0.29 watt hours per image while generating. That is roughly equivalent to running a 0.5 Watt energy LED light bulb for slightly less than 35 minutes. Even for training the costs are not that extreme. Stable Diffusion needed 150,000 GPU hours. At 300 Watt for an A100 at full load that would 45,000 kWh. This roughly the energy neeed to drive an electric car for 180,000 miles, which is a lot, but still on a reasonable scale.
