"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.

That will help offset the chilling cold they suffer from in Pheonix!

And use up all the extra water they have so much of!

In Phoenix, of all places, where summers are hot enough without this.

I love that even before I looked I knew what this was going to be.

They gave up on getting a permit for the data centre in Death Valley?

In the meantime there’s a whole thread full of comments on the new Chinese underwater data centers talking about how they don’t heat up shit. Funny how China keeps coming up with these solutions that are perfect and the rest of the world just somehow can’t…

Edit: /s on Chinese solutions being perfect since that seems to have been less obvious than I thought it was.

Of course those data centers heat up, too. They heat up the water, which in turn heats up the air. You pump electricity into data centers, and this electricity turns to 100% into heat, everywhere in the world.

That’s what I was pointing out…
