That’s really interesting! It shows which communities share users. I am part of jlai.lu, a french-speaking community that is relatively isolated by also slrpnk.net that seems very spread out!
Would it make sense to compute the standard deviation of each instance’s communities? It would give an idea of which are islands and which are more extended. Not sure if it makes sense to compute it more on 2 dimensions or on the original 21934 though.
The “AI” I run locally on my own GPU takes 0 mL of water per request. This paper assumes that AI and GPT (more specifically GPT-3) are interchangeable terms. It is biased, it is a negation of the FOSS world and it is weirdly aligned with the corporate hype around the subject. If even opponents of OpenAI accept their propaganda, we are in bad shape.
“AI” does not need water and does not need to emit CO2. It needs electricity, and we know how to produce electricity without emitting CO2 and using water. OpenAI and big datacenters do not, but they are the problem, the tech itself is not.
Please don’t let companies use the cheap trick of using “AI” as a puppet to present their own interests and their own way of doing things as the only way to do “AI”.
