Any minute now... Aaaaany minute now...

I'm not denying that AI is a bubble, but this is one of the (many) big reasons that the huge wealth disparity we've built up is so fucking dangerous: the people who make the market move can afford to make it act irrationally for a long, long time. This bubble should have burst in like 2024 at the latest, but LLMs in their current form are vitally important to the march of fascism. I mean, they cast doubt on all media. You can't trust the pictures you see, the videos you watch, not even that the people you're messaging online are people. I like to think many of the people here are better at spotting generated content than the general populace, but it can still be hit-or-miss, and for everyone else, trying to figure out who is a trustworthy news source at this point is just a crapshoot.

So billionaires are gonna fund this bubble as long as they can. They need to get as many people to give up on trying to discern truth as possible. Even with all the other crazy shit threatening to imminently topple our economy, this bubble could have years of life in it yet.

The oligarchs will bulldoze and crush the infrastructure, rather than let the people grow food with it. Come on, where's the profit in that? Not /s. They seriously think this way. We'd have to take the equipment by force in order do to this.

Yeahhhh salad...riiiiiiight...

I am legitimately looking at just getting a fucking server rack for my next PC build because these GPU sizes are out of hand

Could just grow some weed with them too!

The 19” rack is a standard that precedes computers, so you can find a lot of non-computer gear that fits in them. Synthesisers and studio audio gear are one example, then there’s test equipment and such. The military undoubtedly has a lot of specialised gear that also fits 19” racks (the form factor may have originated there, perhaps during WW2). It wouldn’t be surprising if there was non-electrical gear that was designed for mounting in these universally available racks.

You're gonna want airflow, those grow lights generate plenty of heat. Fortunately, there is no shortage of airflow solutions for 19" racks. Also having a dedicated solution bin per rack is complete overkill, either keep the solution bin outside of the rack to service multiple racks or just do deep water culture (It's roma lettuce, it will not give a fuck).

I really need to find out where the local data center sells their decommissioned hardware.

This is just what i need. I was thinking of using an old fridge.

Last year I made a box out styrofoam and grew chili's in there. They became so spicy that we could barely eat them. The grow box was ugly and used a lot of space and I want to rebuild it in a way that looks better.

They'll kill the planet before they let this bubble burst. What are the polymarket odds on what takes us out first? AI or climate change?

If you can manage the humidity issues you could have servers in one rack supplying heat for the grow-racks

I just want like a 4tb drive or three for not crazy money 😭

Ok but for real, where could someone acquire a random empty server rack? I'd love to have one just as room decor

server rack wardrobe here i come-

I know it's not completely serious but a grow tent that size would be half the cost, a fraction of the weight, and is designed to be in humid environments

Using decomissioned corporate hardware used to steal from everyone is so cyberpunk it hurts.

Not having LLMs at all would be solarpunk.

imagine how many minecraft servers you can run in that

like at least a bajillion
