    Is there a “young man yells at clouds meme” here?

    “Yes, you’re very clever calling out the hype train. Oooh, what a smart boy you are!” Until the dust settles…

    Lemmy sounds like my grandma in 1998, “Pushah. This ‘internet’ is just a fad.'”

      The difference is that the Internet is actually useful.

        Yeah, the early Internet didn’t require 5 tons of coal be burned just to give you a made up answer to your query. This bubble is Pets.com only it is also murdering the rainforest while still be completely useless.

          Estimates for chatgpt usage per query are on the order of 20-50 Wh, which is about the same as playing a demanding game on a gaming pc for a few minutes. Local models are significantly less.
