The AI & Data Center Thread

Sorry, some forums frown on quoting the post immediately preceding. I’ll quote you from now on.

Already failed

lol.

Just get off your keyboards and go look at some of these places and you’ll see what economic engines these are for those areas. And once the DC is operational, there are hundreds of operators, mechanics, maintenance positions needed. Those people need homes that will be built. They will provide a new tax base of well paying jobs that didnt exist before. Those people will need to eat, shop, and have entertainment options.

Show us the "billions of dollars."

You can't because you're a lying sack of shit

You can't even show millions.

lol.

Oh look, you can be taught

Do you always have to be a dick? Or do you take time off from it from time to time. Life is short. It’s a great time to be alive.

Wow...that reply button is now within your sights.

How fantastic

You can't do basic things, calling you out like a five year old is what you deserve it's a great time to have a fucking reply button to use when replying to people in a forum.

 

[bjlatx]

I guess.

Idiot

dick.

Without a quote, which is a simple click on the reply button, you're talking to yourself, moron

If I'm talking to myself, I'd NEVER post online.

In truth, he's not really a dick. He's more like an excised foreskin. Kind of dick like but a lot more useless and certainly less desireable.

From WSJ columnist Tim Higgins:

Dario Says AI Should Slow Down. Jensen Wants to Go Full Steam Ahead.

The Nvidia chief makes the case for engineering solutions—not new laws or industry speed bumps—to address AI safety concerns

https://www.wsj.com/tech/ai/nvidia-...a24e1?st=idueUC&reflink=article_copyURL_share

“If Anthropic’s Dario Amodei is the tech leader most stoking fears about the power of AI, Nvidia’s Jensen Huang is increasingly becoming the industry’s most prominent voice pushing back.”

NVidia makes billions selling chips to the gullible AI companies. Of course they want the boom to continue.

NVidia makes billions selling chips to the gullible AI companies. Of course they want the boom to continue.

You’re right. Here’s some snippets from the article that underscores your point:

“There is a certain self-interest that comes from the guy selling picks and shovels to the gold rush saying the gold isn’t dangerous.

“Nvidia, the world’s most valuable company, has benefited greatly from the race to build AI. Its chips are at the heart of the development. And, as if to underscore that point, Huang told reporters in Scotland he expects the company to sell twice as many chips next year as this year because of AI.

“So, of course, he doesn’t want an AI slowdown.

“What makes the public debate so unusual is that the companies’ futures are so closely linked.

“Anthropic needs Nvidia’s chips. In turn, Nvidia—which is an investor in several AI companies, including OpenAI—is in talks to invest in Anthropic through its upcoming IPO, according to a recent Reuters report.

“Both Huang and Amodei see AI as a positive force. The complicated maneuvering is part of a larger dance between tech players over controlling and profiting from the emerging technology.”

Laptops are very expensive now, thanks to the bubble vacuuming all the chips and hardware it can get. I am waiting for the pop so I can buy a cheap laptop.

 

[Bray123]

My two cents. AI is the next generation and controlling is essential whilst banning is impossible.
It's similar to protesting against tractors and cars replacing horses on farms and roads. Either you get with it or you're obsolete in five years.

Heed the warnings by the geeks, they know more about it than 'High IQ' politicians who don't know how to switch on a laptop but take billions of dollars from vested interests.

 

[BabyBoomer50s]

Regarding the politics of AI & data center regulation, there’s a bit of a disconnect between the type of regulation tech leaders are calling for and the regulations most voters want.

The tech leaders want regulations that will avoid doomsday scenarios and advance their financial interests.

Most voters are more interested in quality of life where they live. They want to keep data centers away from their neighborhoods and preserve farmland.

Politicians are feeling pressure to “do something.” Trump’s announcement on Saturday isn’t likely to calm things down. Eventually, we’ll probably see some sort fluffy bipartisan legislation that will give the politicians a way to claim success.

There's not much point in regulating something that will be gone in a couple years. If any politicians are honest enough to say it's BS, they could do photo ops by personally driving killdozers through data centers.

AI data centers need to be held to account for the environmental damage they could be causing in the event the data center is abandoned.

Those who exploit natural resources should have been held to account for the damages they caused after they abandon their open pit mines and refineries and wind farms without any effort at reclamation and instead leave it to the people and government to clean up their mess, AI data centers shouldn't be allowed to do the same.

In addition to an EIR, a reclamation bond should be required before permits can be approved. A very hefty bond in an amount that would allow a private reclamation firm the ability to fully restore the land without requiring the government to pay for it in the least part.

If that makes the project financially non viable, so be it.

The end is perpetually near with that one.

When the loans are due.
