"Typical Chat-GPT query uses about 10 times more energy than Google search That’s just for a basic generative AI function. More advanced queries require substantially more power that have to go through an AI Cluster Farm to process large-scale computing between multiple machines."

"AI is typically deployed in 20-30 cabinet clusters at or above 40 KW per cabinet. This represents a fourfold increase in KW/ cabinet with the deployment of AI. The difference is staggering."

What they told me could force a total rethink of data center design

@gerrymcgovern I don't use Google search anymore, and have never have used Chat GBT. Nor do I use any the of AI doodads all the already enshittified BE EVIL/BURN THE PLANET/Silicon Valley AI co-religionist techlords are sticking on their front ends. And their ultimate ends are antihuman. I am a human, and thus their enemy. Just sayin' how I really feel.

@[email protected] @gerrymcgovern Not that I believe the evangelical screed AI becoming sentient and taking over the destruction of a livable planet while they enjoy their new indestructible robot bodies is anything but a fantasy/grift. The danger is the poisonous stupidity of these gormless nimnulls, promoted and protected by their money, and their desire to not save humanity from itself, but save themselves from humanity.

@tinydoctor I think you've hit the nail on the head: the tech bros want to save themselves from humanity and nature. They want to live inside the screen.
