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.
Science Memes
Welcome to c/science_memes @ Mander.xyz!
A place for majestic STEMLORD peacocking, as well as memes about the realities of working in a lab.
Rules
- Don't throw mud. Behave like an intellectual and remember the human.
- Keep it rooted (on topic).
- No spam.
- Infographics welcome, get schooled.
This is a science community. We use the Dawkins definition of meme.

Save power: imagine less boobs.
Impossible
I think I just burned a kilowatt of energy thanks to this meme. 🤤
Kilowatt.... Hour...?
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
Hour…
You’re being very generous. 😅
Kilowatt is not a unit of energy.
Watt is not an energy unit.
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.
Can confirm. Image generation with SDXL Turbo uses approx. 0.4 wH.
it’s about energy transfer though. transfer of titty whats to watts to my mind.
That’s just science
And the text dosnt specify a time interval, whats your point?
That watts by themselves mean nothing with regard to energy consumption.
Also, it literally is an energy unit used in measurements. It's meant as a continious power. Ie. Your active imagination consumes around 12 watts of power, not "rendering one image"
That's power, not energy.
And what is power?
Power is energy per unit of time. Energy is power over a period of time. A lightning strike is about 1 GJ of energy. But it happens in a split second, so the power is far higher, say 100 GW. That is the output of 100 nuclear power plants. But only for 0.01 seconds.
TNT is even more extreme. It can detonate in microseconds, so release its energy in a fraction of a millisecond. 1 kg contains about 4 MJ of energy, released in about 10 microseconds, a power of about 300 GW. That is about as much power as all of the USA combined needs.
You are off by a factor of ~250, it's 1.21 Gigawatts
Watt would you suggest?
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?
10k * 12 < 2 billion
Must be nice, phantasics.
Some of us have aphantasia. AI fat perky tits is an aid to the disabled.
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.
No wait time either. I did it while reading the sentence.
The AI provides exponentially better results, if you are me
skill issue
I really enjoyed those fat perky tits thanks fossilesque
I would have preferred a pic of the titties rather than a fibre optic brain.
