"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.

Is the water runoff toxic? Do you have any article? (Genuinely asking)
Legit question. Apparently, these data centers need a massive amount of water to cool them. This pollutes the water, and without proper regulations on AI data centers, it’s totally legal.

Just Google “AI toxic wastewater” and you’ll get a bunch of articles about it.
