OpenAI uses 70% of GPU for a tiny animation in hilarious lack of basic optimisation; "High GPU usage while the app is “thinking” due to tiny useless animation · Issue #16857 · openai/codex"

It's one tiny animation, Michael, what could it cost, 70%?

GPU usage drops from 70% to 3% by hiding side bar, Thanks alot.

It’s like they’re trying to maximize power consumption even by their users.

There is something rather ironic with slopbros getting upset about resource usage. Can’t quite put my finger on what though. Guess I need to outsource my thinking to an LLM.

And the "fix" is to add an option to hide the spinner:

Job done! Everybody go home!

Probably AI written code.

What a waste of power and water. Hilarious...

I fucking knew it

It's about 70% utilization and up to 1.5 W power on my M4 Pro

Ok so either Apple GPUs are the crazyiest crap on the market, or this dude's power sensor is broken... or both.

It's funnier cause it's not a LLM running on his PC that's causing it

Same as the discord typing animation
