"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.

Kevin O’Leary’s proposed 9GW "hyperscale" AI data center in Utah will consume double the state's entire electricity usage and generate the waste heat of 23 atom bombs a day. (www.sltrib.com)

A ton of these "proposed" data centers are basically fraud - part of a confidence game.

They're never actually getting built, they're just lying to get people to give them money.

Kevin is a douche canoe

[–] JoMiran@lemmy.ml 9 points 3 weeks ago

Douches and canoes are useful. They don't deserve such disrespect.

Don't be so kind

The man that calls himself Mr Wonderful? You don’t say.

‘So much worse than I even thought’: Utah’s ‘hyperscale’ data center could create massive heat island near Great Salt Lake

The Great Salt Lake is already drying up.

We truly are living in the stupidest timeline.

Iowa alone generates more power from just wind than that. No reason Utah can't do the same

[–] queermunist@lemmy.ml 14 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

Can't. Wind power is woke.

[–] njordomir@lemmy.world 4 points 4 weeks ago

The windmills are turning the frogs gay? /s

[–] m0darn@lemmy.ca 1 points 3 weeks ago

But that's not the plan

[–] thatonecoder@lemmy.ca 2 points 3 weeks ago

What about a 900 GW data center?!?!??? We could run everything in one place!!1!1!1!1!!!
