  @NiwlCraft For real, drinking culture is so toxic. I swear to god it seems like every bad thing that happens to any of my friends involves someone getting drunk and making bad decisions. I really don’t understand the appeal of losing self control, especially if you’re still responsible for your actions!

  @NiwlCraft Alcohol is the only drug where people think there’s something wrong with you if you DON’T do it!

  “Boner” is a misnomer, at least for humans. Humans and spider monkeys are the only primates who don’t have a penis bone. This is interesting in itself, but my favorite part of the story is that when a friend of mine was skeptical and did a google search and the AI overview preferred to use the word “dih” over “penis.”

  @GossiTheDog I literally just posted about a silly AI overview moment! https://mastodon.gamedev.place/@astar_7/116665127440028624

  I had this professor who required the use of LLMs for some assignments, where the question would be something like “copy the following prompt into LLM and paste the results here.” One time we were explicitly instructed to use Meta’s AI, and it seemed like there was a 50% chance that when someone in the class entered the civil engineering question into the prompt, Meta AI would respond with suicide prevention resources. #noai #ai #education #technology

  It’s been a crazy time at work. I think I’ve put in like 4 or 5 14 hour days in a row now. I love engineering, but when I can’t work on art my soul dies a little.

  I’m dealing with a lot of anxiety right now. Something I haven’t dealt with a lot since high school! Does anyone have any tips for managing this? #mentalhealth

  I just saw a lecture that said: 1. Demand of sulfur is increasing due to its uses in devices and clean energy 2. Production of sulfur is decreasing because we’re burning less fossil fuels 3. Sulfates can be found in rivers as a result of runoff carrying pollutants into the water 4. We can extract those sulfates from the water, which cleans the water and generates elemental sulfur needed in our technology! The biggest downside right now is the high cost. #engineering #energy #water #science

  When talking about the water consumption of AI data centers, most of the consumption is indirect. Although some water is used for cooling, it’s the massive consumption of electricity that uses so much water because coal, natural gas, and nuclear plants use water to generate power. #ai #datacenters #sustainability #tech #water #science #engineering #noai
