"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.

No we don't. I'm sure we'll be able to miss all the climate goals even if we ban data centres.

Most probably. But not by such a high margin. The energy consumption of datacenters is completely insane.

Its not completely Insane for Datacenters or Supercomputers in Europa. Also our Supercomputers are always first in Green500, unlike USAs!

I just wish we could convince tptb into building that much grid capacity in renewables. For the citizenry. Not for buisness.

I mean I'm aware of a few projects, but like nothing on datacenter scale
