    That’d need watt hours though. Meme is only showing the instantaneous power required to conjure the image for an infinitesimal amount of time - you cant do any useful ‘work’ with it unless the time is accounted for. Watt seconds maybe.

    What makes me skeptikal of this data though is that the correct sciencing term for a billion watts is the well established ‘jiggawatt’. In this context I’d have also accepted the Canadian spelling ‘jigglewatt’.

      not “infinitesimal time.” continuously. think of it like this: to continuously think up perky tits, it takes a human mind 12 watts- brain is a 12 watt computer. time interval is proportional to the number of titty images/length of titty video. and im psure an individual instance of titty ai doesn’t come out to 2.7 jigglewatts- im like 80% sure i can get a (small) titty generator to run on my lil 50 watt phone. not testing that assumption today tho.

      Yeah no. Imagine it like a computer and screen. To render an image it will momentarily consume a bit more power, but as soon as it has been rendered it will still continuosily consume a stable amount of x Watt to keep running and displaying the picture. For continuous stable operation of something with no specified time, Watt is the correct unit.

        yes, which is what you’d measure to compare the energy efficiency of completing a job.
