      you have a point about closed loop systems when it comes to consumer models. But a superintelligence quickly runs into the limits of physics and cooling becomes the bottleneck.

      Point 3, yeah, lemmy people are just ostriches with their heads stuck in the sand.

        Superintelligence may be more about pushing efficiency rather than what you’re saying, i’m sure they can rapidly iterate on making more efficient models.

      Data centers use evaporative cooling, not closed loop. You can’t really scale up in a closed loop system. Evaporative utilizes a ton of water.

      As for point 3, supercomputers have been assisting with scientific problems for decades now. This isn’t new, just new tech applied. Your article is actually the best way to use AI, imo. It will be better at finding patterns in data than humans will ever be.

      But my point is to say would it have been able to discover that those math problems existed in the first place?

      No. The answer is no.

        Yes you can obviously use a closed loop system and scale up? it’s even becoming the standard? https://datacentremagazine.com/news/how-closed-loop-cooling-is-reshaping-data-centre-design

        That is a massive goalpost shift. You went from can’t do anything useful to couldn’t have discovered the problems in one step?

        Why does it even matter if it can’t discover the problems if it can solve them, exactly? And why could it solve the problems and not discover new ones?

          Closed loop isn’t viable for data centers.

          Do me a favor and quote my original text where I said they can’t do anything useful. I’ll wait.

            Closed loop isn’t cheaper for data centers.

            Ftfy. If it’s a penny more, which it is, corporations will do the less responsible “beholden to the shareholders” bullshit every time.

            It is derivative and cannot perform any necessary tasks that actually drive intelligence

            done.

            also, the closed loop point is just false read my article?

              How do you get “it isn’t useful” out of that? If you have to extract a wild interpretation out of what (I thought) were pretty clear words, your argument isn’t as strong as you think it is.

              And yes, I read the article. Aside from one data center in Europe, none of the existing data centers in America use closed loop, and there’s no incentive for them to spend the money to overhaul their systems.
