Watt is not an energy unit.

[-] flandish@lemmy.world 34 points 2 weeks ago

it’s about energy transfer though. transfer of titty whats to watts to my mind.

[-] HumanoidTyphoon@quokk.au 13 points 2 weeks ago

That’s just science

[-] unexposedhazard@discuss.tchncs.de 22 points 2 weeks ago

Its continuous to keep the image active in your mind :)

[-] bryndos@fedia.io 5 points 2 weeks ago

That'd need watt hours though. Meme is only showing the instantaneous power required to conjure the image for an infinitesimal amount of time - you cant do any useful 'work' with it unless the time is accounted for. Watt seconds maybe.

What makes me skeptikal of this data though is that the correct sciencing term for a billion watts is the well established 'jiggawatt'. In this context I'd have also accepted the Canadian spelling 'jigglewatt'.

[-] BussyGyatt@feddit.org 3 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

not "infinitesimal time." continuously. think of it like this: to continuously think up perky tits, it takes a human mind 12 watts- brain is a 12 watt computer. time interval is proportional to the number of titty images/length of titty video. and im psure an individual instance of titty ai doesn't come out to 2.7 jigglewatts- im like 80% sure i can get a (small) titty generator to run on my lil 50 watt phone. not testing that assumption today tho.

[-] ryannathans@aussie.zone 3 points 2 weeks ago

Are watt seconds not joules

[-] bryndos@fedia.io 2 points 2 weeks ago

yes, which is what you'd measure to compare the energy efficiency of completing a job.

People say this, but almost every time the time interval is left off it's hours.

Either way, the numbers in this meme are clearly made up. Most image generation uses fewer than 10 watt hours.

This is new for me. Must be some engineering thing. I'm a physicist and and I feel guilty if I leave out some units just because, lol.

[-] m532@lemmygrad.ml 3 points 2 weeks ago

Can confirm. Image generation with SDXL Turbo uses approx. 0.4 wH.

[-] boonhet@sopuli.xyz 3 points 2 weeks ago

Maybe it's comparing the total power rating of the brain to a data center dedicated to AI

Which is also a stupid comparison because the data cenrer will be processing a lot of parallel requests. That's why you want the unit to be energy rather than power in this case

Or maybe it's all made up.

[-] absentbird@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

I think it's all made up. The most power hungry data center in the world consumes 150MW of power, and that's from a massive 11 million square foot facility in China that's significantly larger than any other data center.

EDIT: an hour of heavy thinking does consume approximately 12 watt hours though, so that figure seems reasonable.

[-] joelfromaus@aussie.zone 7 points 2 weeks ago

Watt would you suggest?

[-] Steve@startrek.website 3 points 2 weeks ago

And the text dosnt specify a time interval, whats your point?

[-] Engywuck@lemmy.zip 7 points 2 weeks ago

That watts by themselves mean nothing with regard to energy consumption.

That's, like, your opinion, man.

I think I just burned a kilowatt of energy thanks to this meme. 🤤

[-] InternetCitizen2@lemmy.world 11 points 2 weeks ago
[-] dohpaz42@lemmy.world 9 points 2 weeks ago

Hour…

You’re being very generous. 😅

[-] Eheran@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago

Kilowatt is not a unit of energy.

[-] four@lemmy.zip 6 points 2 weeks ago

No, they just imagined ~800 tits. Maybe even at once.

The image in the post also uses watts where watt-hours might be more applicable, so we are already more in the realm of memes than science

[-] VerilyFemme@lemmy.blahaj.zone 23 points 2 weeks ago

No wait time either. I did it while reading the sentence.

[-] apotheotic@beehaw.org 17 points 2 weeks ago

I really enjoyed those fat perky tits thanks fossilesque

[-] Mambert@beehaw.org 16 points 2 weeks ago

Some of us have aphantasia. AI fat perky tits is an aid to the disabled.

[-] bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de 13 points 2 weeks ago

BI (biological intelligence) has luckily devised ways to get photographic replications of real fat perky tits through transformations of electromagnetic waves right to your retinas and thus into your brain. And it still takes less energy than AI.

I would have preferred a pic of the titties rather than a fibre optic brain.

[-] Jarix@lemmy.world 11 points 2 weeks ago

The AI provides exponentially better results, if you are me

Save power: imagine less boobs.

[-] Arfman@aussie.zone 5 points 2 weeks ago
[-] x0x7@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago

Don't tell them that. They'll kidnap us an wire us into a human AI net all to generate pictures of boobs at lower cost.

[-] essteeyou@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

How much does it cost if οne person imagines it, generates an image, shares that, and 10k people see the image, and avoid imagining it?

[-] crmsnbleyd@sopuli.xyz 5 points 2 weeks ago

10k * 12 < 2 billion

[-] resipsaloquitur@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Must be nice, phantasics.
