  • Ocasio-Cortez and Sanders introduce AI Data Center Moratorium Act

  • They this on...

    And good for you for minimizing your carbon footprint, but it's still "fuck humans" in general.

    We both see that there are large ongoing issues, with bad actors. Elon spending a gazillion dollars for zero cash return is a symptom of his moral destitution, not the usefulness of AI. However painting the world with a broad brush does nothing for improving the world. Bad behavior needs to be punished, while promoting the good.

  • Most part, no. Significant chunk, certainly. Here are some of the larger ongoing contracts:

    ​Eli Lilly & Insilico Medicine ($2.75 Billion)

    Merck KGaA & Valo Health (Up to $3.0 Billion)

    Roche & Manifold Bio (Up to $2.0 Billion)

    AbbVie & Gilgamesh Pharmaceuticals (Up to $2.0 Billion)

    Novartis & Relation Therapeutics (Up to $1.7 Billion)

    Isomorphic Labs (Alphabet) with Eli Lilly & Novartis ($2.9 Billion Combined)

    Eli Lilly & NVIDIA ($1 Billion)

  • That's still limited to LLMs. A lot of work being done is not even in any language. It speaks election orbitals and bonding energy. This is used for biomolecular and pharma purposes.

  • Some folks dislike AI but use other justifications to hate on them.

    Some folks are accelerationists at all costs.

    Some read about the criminals in the field (xai) and assume that everyone is like that.

    "A person is smart. People are dumb, panicky dangerous animals and you know it. Fifteen hundred years ago everybody knew the Earth was the center of the universe. Five hundred years ago, everybody knew the Earth was flat, and fifteen minutes ago, you knew that humans were alone on this planet. Imagine what you'll know tomorrow."

  • All of those things are foam on the water, the leftover gpu cycles after the bills are paid. No one is spending this kind of money on cat videos.

    Our customers are doing biochem/pharma work. Mega-multivariable analysis. There is a big push for a model that can control the innards of a fusion reactor in realtime.

  • My place uses very clean diesel generators. The sound level is below 65 DB with all the generators running - which only happens during an outage. And that's 10 feet away.

    The cooling is fully closed loop. A toilet uses more water a day than the 120,000 sqft DC used in a year.

  • I work for an AI DC company. We already do all these. We would be happy to have these laws in place - it would make for a level playing field.

  • One square foot of parking lot generates 80 watts of heat in the summer sun. A Walmart parking lot is approximately equivalent to 20 megawatts of heat.

  • Feather blades are a marvel. Significantly sharper than alternatives. Astra is really nice, and a lot more forgiving, but for raw sharpness feather is king. Just be careful.

  • New Parody Site Threatens to Replace CEOs With AI for Tiny Fraction of Their Bloated Salaries

    Jump

  • Sure

    A tech journalist sets up a company of all AI agents. CFO, CTO, HR, Sales, etc. He is following the capabilities advertised by all of the various vendors. He makes significant progress. He demonstrates that is is indeed possible. And some really absurd things happen along the way. Like the vendor advertising that agents are perfectly capable of this hanging up on one of them in disgust.

  • Mamdani Says He Is Examining Whether His Government Can Arrest Netanyahu During NYC Visit

  • He can most certainly be arrested. He can't be prosecuted. "You can beat the rap, but you can't beat the ride"

    A bullshit arrest would be great political theater for the mayor.

  • Virginia county asks all employees, including schools, to conserve power due to AI-driven electricity price hikes — state's 400-plus data centers steadily increasing demand, grid expansion, and prici…

  • I agree. On all points. It is a small effect.

    However, 400kwh times 500+ cars in a town does begin to approach datacenter territory. My place is 16mw. My point is that other uses are ignored in the discussion of rising usage.

    30 years ago, most houses in my town had 100 amp service. Now almost all have 200. I had to upgrade mine when I purchased it in 2015. Also, many folks here have mother-in-law suites, which means two kitchens and often an additional laundry room. Most forego gas and have all electric appliances and heat. Power usage is way up all over. Our society is moving forward and uses more than the projections of the 1980s. Power generation projects rarely get approved by locals all over. Especially nuclear. We have painted ourselves into a corner.
