"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.

How about you tell your power-company clients to charge a premium for electricity going to AI slop and give a discount for electricity going to homes, BofA?
No. You'll pay more and be happy about it. π¦ π¦ π¦ πΊπΈ
In all seriousness tho this has just proven that the US power grid sucks so much ass compared to China, which basically gives it for free to these companies.
Because America built up a lot of great infrastructure in the 50's and 60's before hitting a road bump in the 70's largely due to international relations blunders like Vietnam and supporting Israel. So then neoliberals took power in the 80's and started to gut all of that infrastructure they inherited in the name of "profitability".
