"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.

Yeah but isn't that also an easy fix for the datacenter? Like the people running it will just shut things down, discover the cement, remove it, and start up again.
I think the hope is that the lack of water for cooling will cause permanent damage by overheating. But the reality is there are failsafes to prevent this.
That is what I figured. Gotta do something with lasting consequences like mixing sugar into the cement.
Pour a decent bit of algae into the water supply (freshwater shouldn't have algae, but enough will get past standard biocides used in cooling)
only works if it ain't finished yet tho
