Okay, these people are sucking down the hype Koolaid. 🙄

We're WAY more likely to be in "Mad Max" barter town mode by 2060 than 3 billion helpful humanoid robots, buddy.

ninny-bots are way more likely than nanobots, with the purging of programming expertise in favor of LLM vibe coding too.

And they keep saying this as their’s truly (trump) and all the tech guys are 100% behind bombing the Middle East and all of its oil and natural gas resources and processing into oblivion.

Nobody’s bothered to tell them I guess what that would mean for their data center energy costs as well as all the resources needed to build them in the first place.

They think they’re going to make lots of money off of economic chaos, sure if it’s within reason

@GhostOnTheHalfShell @paul_ipv6 @ai6yr Come to think of it, didn't Musk try to power one of his data centers with jet turbines like *right* before all this started?

How is he even going to keep that running without spending some of his money instead of someone else's?

@nazokiyoubinbou @paul_ipv6 @ai6yr

The Memphis site has been running off of local generators, which have been polluting the the surrounding neighborhoods. I hadn’t heard of. He’d moved on even more insane sources, but he’s the king of that kind of bullshit.

As Israel, the US and Iran continue to obliterate oil fields and refineries ports, all of AI, and in fact a lot of tech every day centers, are going to feel the pinch.

The rest of us are going to as well.

@GhostOnTheHalfShell @paul_ipv6 @ai6yr Basically this: https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/musks-ai-power-plant-generates-sound-fury-mississippi-rcna258594

Some kind of really high powered turbines. They must run on a fuel that surely requires the refinement of oil somewhere in the process, so it's surely going to go up. And it can't have been cheap even to begin with...

It's going to be harder and harder to keep using someone else's money to pay for all that I would imagine. (But billionaires would rather die than spend their own money on something.)

@nazokiyoubinbou @paul_ipv6 @ai6yr

Yeah, the scented one brought those in at least last year, and it’s been destroying the lives of the people near the data center.

This is not unique to this particular data center, because other noise generated by them in general as well as the utility costs or fucking up people where these things have been set up

@GhostOnTheHalfShell @paul_ipv6 @ai6yr I am forced to admit I was really kind of hoping that they would all see massive price hikes on continuing to power them. Sadly, they probably won't feel the bite if they're using stuff like methane gas.

Too bad that pollutes even worse...

@nazokiyoubinbou @GhostOnTheHalfShell @ai6yr

expect to see a push for small nuclear reactors again...

@paul_ipv6 @nazokiyoubinbou @ai6yr

Yeah.. let’s remember which part of the world manufactures them probably or where are you gonna get all the componentry built?

It’s gonna be a while before any of those come online. I will suspect that somebody on grandstand with a demo install installation.

@GhostOnTheHalfShell @nazokiyoubinbou @ai6yr

oh, i don't think it's going to be functional. just another distraction. the horse worming covid cure of data center power problems...
