So, a few months ago China launched Deepseek and the narrative on US media was all "the fact they didn't have access to the latest Nvidia GPUs forced them to get creative and develop a model that is more efficient and cheaper".

Now the US is getting behind on "AI wars" because China has more energy for huge data centers?

How about the US get creative and develop LLMs that are actually useful and can work without sucking Gigafucks of electricity?

Turns out stubborn contrarianism and anti-science bias are not viable philosophical foundations for progress; what a surprise.

But for a few fleeting moments we did create a lot of value for the shareholders. Totally worth it to flush it all down the drain.

Don’t worry. They’ll just ask AI about the grid and it will tell them how great it is.

Edit: or it’ll say FEED ME MORE!

Yeah. Kind of amazing that for all of their America first bullshit rhetoric, Republicans have consistently and routinely neglected our infrastructure to focus time and money on gays, immigrants, and giving out blowies to billionaires

[–] AdrianTheFrog@lemmy.world 22 points 3 days ago

Look at other corrupt governments and you can see some even more startlingly disfunctional infrastructure.

Conservatism is collapsing into irrelevance as a long term commitment.

[–] baronvonj@lemmy.world 56 points 3 days ago

Close. Conservatism is collapsing the United States of America into irrelevance.

Good, let the Chinese have this demonic technology currently only good for mass surveillance.

That level of cushion is unthinkable in the United States, where regional grids

Yeah, capitalism will resolve everything by being greedy. Electricity is not and will never be a merchandise. It's a basic human need and a natural state monopoly.
