"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.

Yea data centers also do a similar thing. They bring up the electricity price for everyone in that area, large amounts of cooling is needed which drains the local water supply. It vents out heat and noise.

There's not many benefits to a datacenter surprisingly for the local population. It's not going to cause a huge boom in the local economy (all the money is going to the corporation who will in fact not pay a dime back to the locals)
