These "makeshift" structures are housing hardware that costs millions of dollars in total.

"Putting AI servers inside tents, officially called “rapid deployment structures,” is one of the more unique approaches to the AI build-out, Thomas said. They’re certainly not as sturdy as physical buildings made from steel and concrete, with one commenter comparing it to the “classic $10k racing bike with a $9 lock” situation."

All funded with Facebook and Instagram and a touch of glasses and oculus.

Things so easy to simply not use and even with this evidence of how shitty they are (nevermind the ability to shift politics) people won't quit.

We are all fucked.

Meta hires enough veterans and enough of their employees are also in the Reserves and National Guard to explain to them exactly why they shouldn't do this.

OVH started putting up data centers made with wood and cheap materials in Europe. They had a major fire at one of them.

Half assed designs have their own issues.

So, I hear there's a bunch of unused office space due to work-from-home, is it really lacking that much power?

[–] thejml@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 month ago (4 children)

Yes... and the ability to deal with super densely packed rack weight.

Like seriously, they can't use existing empty data center space because the floors aren't built to deal with ones that tightly packed of equipment.

So they're using gasoline to run jet engines that rotate turbines that generate electricity? wtf
