Its not the same kind of infrastructure. We have had hosted cloud servers for decades now, but these datacenters are purpose-built to run AI, with millions of graphics cards.

They can use more power than a city, and they use enormous amounts of water. And they seem to be loud. There has been news about people in their houses getting noise pullution around the clock, sometimes a low vibration humming noise which goes through the walls and prevents them from sleeping properly.

I dont think there is a single advantage for people living near a datacenter. Noise and increased power bills.

They pass dystopian chat control with one hand and does this with the other.

They will, unfortunately. I hate these things but I know that as soon as influencers make them cool, the shame will go away.

I really want to be wrong about this.

And common people still cant get a break financially, while these guys make billion dollar mistakes and come out just fine.

For companies, the cloud has been amazing. Almost every company has their infra in the cloud now. Its expensive but gives them one click access to hundreds of services.

I think Ai will also be amazing for companies.

For people? Probably not great. Ai will track and monitor every human. I cant see any other future as long as big tech is driving.

I bought an HP printer once and im never doing that again. The best printers ive had has all been Brother.

Yeah but its interesting that all of these big tech guys are so creepy. Altman, Musk, Zuckerberg… Do they grow them in labs?

I still dont understand how people think its fine seeing ads everywhere they look. What is in their minds…

It makes the world ugly. Real ugly.

I think we actually get to understand now how Hitler came to power. I remember in school, I was mystified how such an hateful man could become a leader of a country. Now I understand.

History will most likely repeat itself and humanity needs a big war to once again remember what hate leads to.

It just sucks for the ones who already learned that lesson from basic history.

It doesnt matter if they reach any end result, as long as stocks go up and profits go up.

Consumers arent really asking for AI but its being used to push new hardware and make previous hardware feel old. Eventually everyone has AI on their phone, most of it unused.

Now we are talking :)

Should say by who. :)
