I don't get it, why do we need so fucking many? Reading the thread about temps downwind from data centers and it's describing all the multiple HUGE data centers just around phoenix and it's just, like, why are they building so fucking many???

It's one thing to be like "yeah we're building a facility that uses more power than human civilization to power the Lying Machine" but it's like they're building fucking thousands of them. What the fuck is that?

Let's be incredibly generous and assume The Nerds invent intelligence, even then what is the fucking point of all this shit

It's getting consistently worse, at least Gemini is, somewhere around December it stoped translating some words, so there would be a random Chinese character in an English paragraph, and sometimes it was a made up character, not in the original, but most often it translates characters as numbers, what the fuck is a "question mark 17" supposed to be? It didn't do that last year.
