    “Internships tackling climate issues” yeah just type that into the climate-destroying search box please.

    If you want a role tackling climate issues you’re going to make a much bigger dent by being self-employed and doing some on-site work at those noisy new buildings.

      The agents that decode natural language inputs to return search results are different from the ones that generate output.

      Generative AI is the wooooorst, that’s what takes up the most resources, and then produces questionable output.

        They do still rely on similar models though, they just produce shorter outputs and are more fine-tuned, so they run for less time per query and thus use less energy.

        It will always use more power than traditional search boxes. To be fair though, it probably isn’t enough to matter relative to all the generative crap.

      I had a brainfart looking at that shit.

      it’s a professional/social media site, you would think people would know what kinds of internships focus on climate issues. Why make the prompts so generic. We aren’t fucking 2 years of age, we’re god damn adults.

      the thing is Microsoft has disposable income. they’ll pay or cover the upfront cost for the service to appeal to universities and schools. then they just enshittify it for the active users, because what the fuck can the users do about it, nothing. The entire situation is so fucked up.
