🚀🛠️ Oh, look! A former NASA engineer is here to enlighten us on the *brilliant* idea of launching server farms into the great beyond. Because apparently, dealing with latency, cosmic rays, and zero gravity is just what data needs! 😂 Keep dreaming, space cowboys! 🌌🖥️

Datacenters in space are a terrible, horrible, no good idea.

There is a rush for AI companies to team up with space launch/satellite companies to build datacenters in space. TL;DR: It's not going to work.

#DOE projecting data centers will require ~3x as much energy by 2028

rise of these #serverfarms has sparked fierce battles from the Virginia suburbs to Tucson, Arizona, and beyond, as city and #countygovernments grapple with how to balance job creation and new #revenue streams against the strain #datacenters put on #water and #energy #resources.

The resources used by AI algorithms is enormous - it's the reason why I don't use any AI features.

Do less harm to the planet, and use AI only for when it's really necessary (for me, I don't find it necessary at all!)

Using GPT-4 to generate 100 words consumes up to 3 bottles of water — AI data centers also raise power and water bills for nearby residents

Net-zero emission goals went out the window with AI.

'Thirsty' AI: Training ChatGPT Required Enough Water to Fill a Nuclear Reactor's Cooling Tower, Study Finds

An average user’s conversational exchange with ChatGPT amounts to dumping a large bottle of fresh water out on the ground, new research says.

If you're worried about #ChatGPT & other #ArtificialIntelligence, Jon Naughton (Observer) thinks you might be focusing on the wrong aspect of the #AI 'revolution';

whatever its impact on human communication & analysis, behind the #technology sits a massive requirement for #energy to run the software from massive #serverfarms it requires for computation.

So, the real danger of AI may in the end by its growing role in the #climatecrisis

#solar situation: in order to know #watts up you have to be aware of your #volts and #amps. #ohm is not just a #mantra to call out to #Buddha. Living simply includes decreasing your energy needs with efficient appliances . Nowadays so many things charge via USB so there are many choices. Do an energy audit and eliminate #phantomLoads . we can design better and conserve resources. #ServerFarms are devouring our grid capacity. Does #mastodon distributed model avoid this?
