"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.

I've been working in data centers since 2008.

What happened? What changed? They used to be incredible.

I haven't been in a data center in a couple of years.

Companies are exploiting regulatory loopholes as they construct new facilities powered by pollutant-spewing onsite gas plants.

The grid can’t handle the buildout, so new data centers are operating unregulated gray-market power plants.

Does that effectively also mean that the real energy consumption might not be measured accurately?
