Why Building AI Data Centres Isn’t Working Anymore

YouTube

Please do not conflate cloud use with the massive rise in data centers meant for AI.

We need to STOP using AI, it uses WAY WAY WAY more resources than storing a compressed photo on the cloud!

We also need to stop Elon Musk, Bill Gates, Sam Altman et al, from destroying our environment! Because they DO NOT CARE. They have their bunkers built and are ready for the coming water wars and irreversable climate change. Government on both sides seem not to give a shit and have thier grubby hands out for kick backs, bribes and tax money.

The data center situation is our potential end of days scenario if we do not put a halt to it.

Kan man forestille sig det samme scenarie i Danmark med at undervurdere emissionerne fra datacentre?

Xcel's continued maintenance failures of its plants is now going to cost rate payers $100 million dollars. And it continues to court data centers. There is now a 472 MW energy gap. The very thing that has lead to this problem is the thing they want to continue to use...ffs.

I can only hope Colorado passes the 'plug and play' solar panels for renters quickly. I'm thinking of getting one.

Xcel’s solution to its summer power gap: Coal, coal, gas and more gas 

Xcel is relying on old, dirty fossil fuels to solve its summer power gap, critics say, rather than doubling down on renewable options.

Datacentre af den størrelse der tales om I Holbæk vækker naturligvis bekymring for elforbrug. Men der er mange andre negative konsekvenser, som ikke nævnes her som fx emissioner, vand, varme, støj, æstetik og elektronikskrot.

På en sjællandsk mark skal et datacenter af gigantiske dimensioner rejse sig, men det enorme strømforbrug vækker bekymring

Datacentre af den størrelse, som er på vej i Holbæk, vil bruge mere strøm end alle nuværende datacentre tilsammen.

In the wake of the Artificial Intelligence paradigm, data centres are set to proliferate all over the country. These server warehouses dedicated to processing and storing computer data generate numerous conflicts over the use of water and electricity. They take up land and cause environmental pollut
