"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

typically rated at 1200-1500 watts, sometimes more. Do they actually use that much? I

i'd say that if it says 1500 watts microwave, then that means that 1500 watts are delivered to your food. the microwave might consume more than that to account for losses.

yes, that is how they are rated, by output.

a quick search says they're typically around 25% more power consumed than delivered
