"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.

Henrico County is a major hub for data centers in Virginia. Its officials said it expects a 25% rise in electricity costs next year, and advised workers to close the blinds and turn off their computers to make up for it.

I recognize that this is perhaps the motivation of the tech's peddlers right now. It's not a foregone conclusion that this is what's going to happen.

Just from an economic angle, they need somebody to pay for all of this. It isn't self sustaining. If we have no more jobs, no more artists, and all live broke, hand to mouth, who is going to pay for all this processing hardware they bought on credit, let alone the services they try to push on us that don't work? Until they can plug us in like in the Matrix there's still hope.
