Like I said your mileage may vary. I know in my town, fliers are fairly effective because there are a lot of high-foot-traffic spots where they can be posted. I don’t think I’ve ever seen someone go door to door about something, but we have had folks attend local events with requests for signatures and they seem to do decently. You gotta know your community to know how best to reach out to them.
I do have a little experience and you are correct! Canvassing or fliers or whatever is very much a YMMV per location but collaborating with fellow supporters and grabbing data to back up your position are both solid starting points.
For a second I thought this was an Only Murders In The Building reference.
My cat has hyperthesia and overly sensitive paws, and she used to leap out of the litter box to finish frequently. Our vet suggested we try a gentler litter and it worked! We got a “soft paws” formula litter and it helped a ton.
I’m sorry but that is the most high def version of that screenshot I have EVER seen.
They are anti-LGBT. I don’t have a source handy for you at the moment so encourage you to search it up.
I don’t think so. A smaller pool does mean smaller odds that someone will take what you are offering and do anything with it, but it’s still possible to affect change, especially if you are asking people to affect things actually within their control.
But, with that said, your impact will likely be stronger if you communicate with the people near you locally instead of online, since you and those (physically) around you are affected by the same localized forces.
The internet is a good place to collaborate on ideas and methodologies; your local community is a good place to try to implement those things.
I thought all the energy drain was from training, not from prompts? So I looked it up. Like most things, it’s complicated.
My takeaway is that training an LLM is the biggest energy sink, and after that it’s maintaining the data centers they live in, but when it comes to generative AI itself, prompts aren’t completely innocent either.
So, you’re right, energy is being wasted on silly prompts, particularly when you compare it to other AI types than generative. But the biggest culprit is in the training and maintaining of the LLMs in the first place.
I don’t know, I personally feel like I have a finite amount of rage, I’d rather write an angry post on a blog about the topic than yell at some rando on a forum.
According to the artist’s comments, it was a lighting study, so I bet they’d love to hear it!
I did post the source?
It especially kills me when the vendor DOES have their own website, and it looks like they have their own store. You go to buy it and it redirects you to their Amazon page.
It also reminds me to post something back somewhere.
Gotta hold that tail down or it’ll get away!
“Tony Snark” “Snarkily Smirking” Is this for real?
And gets -4
Very true. I had someone I was friends with IRL who I would talk about my online roleplay community with. I asked if she was interested in joining and she said sure. She was… insufferable. Did not get along with anyone else. I found her online presence incredibly grating. It was crazy, it was a completely different person.
