100 watts. Or there abouts. Basically a brain is an old lightbulb of power.
Its why a 10Kw LLM is orders of magnitude less efficient... and not even as sophisticated by any measure.
Power, my dear chaps, is the core of their problem and always has been.
@doctormo @WeirdWriter @MaddieM4 @invadersil
100W is the whole human body, give or take. The brain alone is, like, a quarter of that!

Unfortunately, the publishing industry at large has started to use LLMs in a way I never thought possible. The publishing CEOs are pretending to hate LLMs while forcing their editors that don't wanna use it/them, use it/them. And I know these aren't local LLMs to the companies either because, psst, that's money they don't wanna pay, so they're using existing LLM providers and it's just frustrating and sad all the way around! This is why I value presses such as yours so highly! @nantucketlit
@WeirdWriter @nantucketlit The German book distributors sadly are even admitting their US LLM addiction openly: https://mastoart.social/@thatwriterellie/117021155288745899 it is embarrassing what they're up to

This shit writes itself. This is so beyond parody at this point I can't write about it.
I had an author friend gush, for paragraphs, about how amazing my editing was. It was funny. It was honest. It was developmental juice that didn't have any trouble asserting its flavor. He begged me to know what LLM I was using because he had other editors use LLMs and they weren't nearly as good or funny or sincere and they didn't seem to understand the work the way I did.
this has got to be the shortest email I've ever written. I replied,
“I used my fucking brain.”

I've gotten AI reviews in my sci-fi critique group (it seems the mods have cracked down thankfully) and they all seem to be designed to move the convo to email and then offer "pro" editing. I also submitted stories to a magazine offering pro rates; they rejected each story within two hours with an elaborate critique and an offer to edit more for $20. -

It's so all over. I viewed an apartment. The showing person said, "Reply STOP to make the AI stop texting you, but you can still text me at this number and I'll see it." Everyone has to arrange our lives to bypass it. -

@WeirdWriter Was just talking with a friend a bit ago about my refusal to buy any sort of art made after 2020 cuz of AI and I see this...yeah I'm good with my choice Sucks real artists suffer but I already spend too much time checking and rechecking every fucking thing I buy so I don't shit to death (my allergens are appearing in foods they've never been in before on top of the shit bugs) or contribute more than necessary to the capitalistic nightmare
Too tired to chase down real art -

If you ever return to buying real art, there are artists (like me) who tag our anti AI sentiment in our posts, art, and are fervently against AI on every step. And we usually can recommend other artists who are also anti AI and would not be caught dead using one.
Especially here it is easier to find real artists.But I do understand the issue...the scammer amounts have risen so much and trust is the first thing the 1% sought to destroy.

@WeirdWriter your article on the writers club really lingers in my mind. i'm reminded of the audiobook readers who turned up to the new LLM-free club and were thrilled to get the chance to read something that wasn't so LLM written trash for a change
turns out human written prose has a real impact on people. who would have guessed.

@Yza Thank you! I’ve corrected spelling and grammar issues in that narrative also by the way, but this is why I’m seeing a massive increase in events like audiobook listening groups at the library and things like that. I’ve actually found that my local library has a lot of events that I can tell people about my drafty writers group and everybody seems really interested
