"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.

It doesn’t come out clean. There’s a lot of additives added as part of the cooling system. While it can be cleaned up, like it’s theoretically possible to build an effectively closed loop, they’re not actually doing that. Also it’s often potable water from residential supplies that comes from reservoirs and it’s not going back in those reservoirs.
