Most of the people running the AI data centers told people mining with GPUs that they were wasting power and now they have figured out how to make it worse.
Then again, we’re probably those AI GFs and BFs and got self aware at some point 🤷♂️ we just building the next level of simulation like our creators before us, and the ones before them. It’s imaginary friends all the way down 😌
LLM imaginary friends are running at home on local models using consumer GPUs. No more harmful than gaming. Datacenter country is created by supreme leader Sam Amodei Altman to launch the Claude-o5 pre-alpha AGI stocks machine to recoup the costs of said datacenter. (They all secretly regret it)
Amazon partnering with Dominion Energy at Hanford Nuclear Reservation to build NEW NUCLEAR POWER PLANTS to fuel data centers and AI. Richland, Washington, site where 65 Mil gallons of nuclear waste sit in tank farms on the Columbia River. You know, Fat Man and Little Boy bombs.
So it's the paperclip optimizer problem just far far stupider owing to the fact that the AI is not smart enough to turn its creators into paperclips, so they voluntarily and gleefully do it themselves saying "the next iteration will pulp and extrude biomass all on its own but for now we help it"
Charles Stross wrote about this in Accelerondo back in 2005. Course the planets were turned into a computer to calculate Economics 2.0. And people were kicked off the earth to make room.
To be clear: I love a digital imaginary friend, this was the allure of horse_ebooks (RIP)! Just not sure people need to keep coal plants running for this purpose
After accelerating climate change from the energy draw and cooling requirements, many of the population should be negatively impacted. So you'll need all the artificial friends you can get.
😫a tool of conformity that aims to narrow our access to information and surveil. They want AI to speed time in the sense of the industrial rev &force the 4th indust rev, but there’s no evidence it will. So they use religion/love/hype to create faith & rob us of real infrastructure.
Remember when cryptocurrencies were killing the planet because it was an anti-establishment tech yet AI is totally fine and being pushed by said establishment without a care for the planet?
I love tech but AI is at AGI now and we're not talking about safety, sustainability and ethics thereof.

To what end? So hawk tuah girl and her techbro friends can siphon off another half billion from stupid rubes drooling over an undeserved payday?

It’s like the Omegle days but auto generated!

It's interesting to watch how long AI lets that go on.
