"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.

a gigawatt is like enough for say, Pittsburgh. They want to add THIRTY SEVEN new Pittsburgh level sites of power consumption, and that's just the next few years. really hitting the throttle on the ol' global warming
And they're doing it so they can fire more people and pivot to electronic slaves they don't have to pay.
Really good thinking, oligarchs. Start firing a bunch of people from coast to coast so they have tons of free time in lieu of easily identifiable buildings full of server racks that depend on easily disrupted fiber uplinks that you could never possibly hope to monitor and control from end to end to prevent sabotage. Fucking brilliant.
Yeah make our jobs obsolete so we have nothing but starvation and free time... and wait, where is Zuck's house again? I mean billionaires probably taste great, all that pampering
Those oligarchs better hope they biologically expire before the next quarter sets in and the maintenence bill arrives.
My face when the electronic slaves have an equally complicated, and less understood set of needs that still require human hands to intervene.
if global warming is real, why come does it still get cold?? CHECK MATE ATHEISTS
Idk, seems pretty warm at this persons house https://lemmy.world/post/45097350
I pray to Atom that they at least open up more nuclear plants.
I pray we do find a good use for nuclear waste. Not to take away your point which is true and sensible as well.
