Amazing how many headlines parrot the corporate framing that Meta's new Hyperion data center would "deliver gigawatts of power" -
"AI data center ... will deliver five gigawatts of computational power to fuel the company's new AI" ❌
"[data center will] supply its new AI lab with five gigawatts of computational power" ❌
No. NO. Don't do that. Hyperion will *consume* 5GW of power, including three NEW new gas-turbine power plants, in order to run giant toxic content sludge generators. 💩 ✔
Journalists stopped being actual journalists several years ago. All they do now is 'polish' the corporate press releases, and then uncritically stick them into the 'news'.
Not *journalism*, just a cross between copy-typists, and AI-slop.
@cbecker it's ridiculous that we even started listing electrical power.
It's the most meaningless thing about a datacenter. It says precisely nothing about what it can do, because what 5GW will yield depends SO MUCH on the ever-shifting technology.
This is assuming, of course, that they ever finish it and turn it on. Which they likely won't.
