There’s a difference between building more grid capacity and building a private generator.
One requires more engineering expertise than the other.
/u/outwrangle before everything went to shit in 2020, /u/emma_lazarus for a while after that, now I’m all queermunist!

Perhaps those things are connected.


CEOs are wannabe dictators. The venn diagram is a circle.


Yeah and they’re all “not me tho I’m different” about it, they think when we give birth to AI they’ll be among the Elect.
The ticker at the bottom 🤌
It’s all Ohio.


No, they did not need to build new gas and coal plants for YouTube, what the fuck are you talking about? We were closing coal plants before the AI datacenter boom, now they’re trying to reopen them. They’re actually building unregulated off-grid gas turbines and dreaming up miniature nuclear power plants to power the data centers, that’s totally different than what they did to build YouTube.
People hate AI and it sounds like what you’re saying is we shouldn’t care about AI water or energy use because of cars, flesh, planes, and YouTube. All that does is make people hate you. You care about messaging, right? Then what you should actually be doing is using AI as the starting point to make people start caring about those other things too.


Do they need to build dozens of gas turbines to run YouTube for me to watch it for an hour?
The AI buildout is happening so fast that the grid can’t support it, you need to account for that. Energy use is less intensive after training, but it’s still immense and happening in places without preexisting energy infrastructure. It’s the same problem with water use - it uses less water than beef, but they’re building data centers in places without the water infrastructure to support it.
200 years old and mad because they’re not immortal like those spoiled alpha kids.


I don’t see it. I see faster melts during melt season, so from the peak to the valley, but comparing this time of year to melt season isn’t really a good investment strategy either.


By this logic I shouldn’t hate ICE agents either.


Not to mention the abuse of human workers in the animal abuse industry.


Eyeballing it, it looks sharper than anything else before melt season.
But eyeballing charts is also not a good investment strategy.


A distinction without a difference.
I will say I agree to some extent with your earlier comment. They aren’t people. They are government equipment and they should be treated as such. Every soldier suffering on their warship deserves this. I hope they regret this.


Her opponent is herself. I can fully imagine AOC being convinced that she should settle for vice and run for president in 2036.


Doing war stuff is war. War is when you do war stuff.
The idea that we can separate these two is gibberish.


A lot of those atheists became STEM majors and went to work in the defense industry.


By 2048 Iowa is the most powerful state in the world.
Twitter is an actually existing example of the “Nazi bar” problem.
Red October baby lets go~
