Ferb, I know what we're doing today.

Recently, Altbot has been targeted by DDoS attacks. While the motive is unclear, it seems tied to a misguided belief that the bot’s alt-text generation is harmful to the environment. Let me set the record straight.

Altbot uses Gemini-1.5-flash, a specifically low-power AI model. Processing a single alt-text request consumes around 0.0005 kWh, meaning that in the 4 months since I created Altbot—and tens of thousands of alt-text entries generated—it has consumed roughly 10 kWh in total. That’s about the same energy as running a single LED light bulb nonstop for 41 days or driving an electric car just 40 miles.

These DDoS attacks, however, have already consumed more electricity and computing power than Altbot has across its entire existence... in a matter of hours. This means the attacks have caused more environmental harm than the very thing they seem to be protesting.

Altbot exists to improve accessibility on Mastodon, not to harm the environment. Accessibility and sustainability can coexist, and I’m committed to keeping Altbot energy-efficient and purposeful.

If there are concerns, I encourage constructive dialogue—not destructive actions that undermine both inclusivity and sustainability.

Thank you to everyone supporting Altbot’s mission of making the Fediverse more accessible for all.

An illustration of survivor bias: yesterday the speaker in our seminar asked of anyone was affected by the ongoing fires. Everyone present assured the speaker that they were not significantly impacted.
Attendance was about half of the normal size.

I'm glad Fedi is teaching me so many things about “AI”!
- Literally every single instance of machine learning and neural networks is inherently evil no matter the training data or end application
- There are definitely zero valid ethical concerns about a large language model as long as it's run locally rather than hosted on the cloud
- If there're no ethical concerns about the training data, there are literally zero valid complaints you can make about generative/transformative models

♥✨ You are a natural cutie!
