"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.

Y'know how, if you turn off computers the wrong way, they can be damaged and go blue screen of death, especially if in a middle of an update? This is what needs to happen to data centers, just yank the power cord and plunge them into darkness.

We had a guy in a DC where the ATS cluster borked and took it allll down. There was a guy moving through it on a HDD swap task, and when it all went dark and quiet suddenly

  1. He thought he'd died
  2. The ping-ping of the CPUs cooling was scary
  3. he didn't know where he was or where he was facing, so he had to just lie down and wait for a fix vs blundering into something.

Yes, the emergency fighting failed too, for some reason.

Could you elaborate on "the ping-ping of the CPUs cooling"?

[–] Hawke@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Metal makes clicking/popping noises as it cools and shrinks. Commonly heard after you turn off an ICE engine.

Yes, the emergency fighting failed too

This is a good typo.

Would be interesting to shut down all those data centers and just see how quiet the internet is after, because the bots are all down.

I know it’s impractical but it would be very interesting.

the really important stuff is all backed up on magnetic tape drives. it would lose them some money but only until the backup recovery is done
