"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.

They will literally destroy all of us for the sake of shortsighted billions to their already huge pile of billions.
people are forgetting how insanely power-hungry daha centers running crypto and HPC was/is. nevermind that all DCs were already replacing their equipment every third year. ai dcs aren't magically more power-dense, so blocking the building of new ones goes a long way.
