"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's right: the slop revolution is powered by A-1 jet fuel. What a glorious way to waste dwindling fossil energy resources...

They’re converted to use gas. They take the place of regular industrial gas turbines because they’re more compact and lighter, and can be used later for backup energy after the centres are connected to the grid. So as much as I dislike AI and its relentless impact on power and the environment, misinformation on what fuel these engines are running on isn’t helpful. Also, all the info is available in the article you posted OP.

Do you not think that natural gas is a fossil fuel or does not have limited supply?

[–] waz@feddit.uk 3 points 3 days ago

Correct, natural gas is a fossil fuel, but it is not A-1 jet fuel.
