ChatGPT goes down — and fake jobs grind to a halt worldwide - Lemmy

Good. I love to hear about outages. Really wish all data centers would implode so we can be rid of this shit.
Once dead internet finishes manifesting, it’ll be simply bots shilling & scamming themselves. The data centers will cease to feed the greedy pigs and will be left for the rats. However, the product will have no time to rejoice for we will already have become addicted to the next big thing.

And by “rats,” you mean me. Me and my crowbar are ready and waiting to get our hands on a bunch of abandoned server hardware, especially those racks and racks of hard drives.

Think of how much pirated anime you could fit a couple of those arrays!

I work in one of those AI data centers. Remarkably little storage. And the servers are astonishingly specialized for the job. Not to mention power hungry. I’d much rather have a gen10 Proliant. Or a few NUCs and a qnap.
So all that breathless reporting I’ve been reading lately about how the AI boom is causing a hard drive shortage is bullshit just like the AIs themselves? Can’t say as I’m surprised one way or the other.
