Sounds a lot like we need another “All you had to do was pay us enough to live” moment
or what, motherfuckers?
It’s not just that we don’t care about any AI race, it’s that we’re also over American exceptionalism too.
We don’t want to be ahead of Chinese AI, we want to stop Chinese AI from ruining the environment.
Nope.
Or what? They’ll drive local energy prices even higher?
This is still pretty much bleeding edge technology, who’s to say that the way we are currently doing thing is the most optional one? I’d rather they stop building these massive data centers and instead have their researchers focus on making these models run on consumer level hardware since throwing more and more compute power at the problem is not sustainable in the long run.
Well well, that reminds me of the US car industry where they thought bigger and bigger motors and cars were better. And American consumers still think so. When all else in the world knows that that’s not sustainable in the long run.
AI is, sure. But data centers have been around for literally decades. There’s nothing bleeding edge about it.
We know how to run data centers efficiently and less wastefully. It’s just more expensive so these fucks don’t want to do it.
They could power themselves entirely from solar and wind. They won’t. They could use closed loop cooling. They won’t. Because those options are more expensive and AI isn’t profitable yet (if ever).
They could do like what you’re saying and turn their models into locally run things on the end user device. They won’t because the only way they’re making money right now at all is on the mass data they collect from it.
They don’t want the risk of actually having to design, build and market products to consumers. They want to sell a fungible commodity that someone else makes a product with, they get to make money regardless of the success or failure of any given product.
Ultimately, they’re not really interested in any of this because they think that it’s a useful technology. They’re only interested because the business model of building a bunch of data centers and selling the computer is simple and low risk. They wouldn’t be putting any money in to it if not for that business model.
Most of the leadership at these companies made their names in the cloud services and web hosting boom. They’re sticking to what they know and what has been the only really big success for the industry in the past decade.
The executive accused the media of spreading “misinformation and outright lies,” arguing that “in the age of social media and 24/7 news, myths take hold faster than ever before.”
Dude, you are literally trying to build the lying pipe, that makes the lying more conversational, and this is your argument. You are holding 40 bloody knives and yelling that THEY are sending a dude with a knife if we don’t act right now… You are in the hot dog suit.
These people should be elected to the “Sun council for exceptional beings”. Very prestigious… Very wow… It’s where we shoot you into the sun.
“I won’t listen to words anymore” - Bezos
Have any of these AI CEOs, politicians or tech bros that try to rally behind a nationalistic “gotta win the AI race against China” ever explained why that is actually consequential about this race in their view for anyone but themselves? Like other than your personal company’s outlook, your stock portfolio or your political influence/military usage over what is, best case scenario (being generous), a valuable and useful advanced tool for some types of work… what difference does it make to the average internet user if their AI chat bots or agents are developed in or run on data centers in the US or China?
Or more realistically, if they have the largest market share in the world, because there’s no lose state that means that the US AI companies can’t still exist… unless the AI companies keep pissing people off enough for the public to actually just shut down every data center.
It seems pretty clear that the only real motivation is an unimpeded return on their massive investments. China having market share in AI applications does not, inherently, threaten anyone’s safety any more than if they have a minority share in the market.
Using rational reasoning like you are doing here exposes the deeper meaning of this
I advise to take a look at this book

@eicker Theyre lucky im not there, id bomb the things on the regular
No you wouldn’t
This gentleman can eat a dick.
He can eat a dildo cause he ain’t worth a dick
“Guys, shut up and just do what I’m saying!”
Incels that were just in the right place at the right time to get rich.
Amazon Web Services CEO Matt Garman pleaded in a 3,000 word blog today with communities to embrace data centers
Who the fuck is reading the blog of some Amazon executive who isn’t already on the kool-aid?
(also, lol at job title inflation finally reaching the “CEO” level. I see Amazon now has 3 CEOs and an “Executive Chairman”.)
That’s at least 3 different salaries that can be replaced by AI, and distributed among the workers, possibly 4.
Who the fuck is reading the blog of some Amazon executive who isn’t already on the kool-aid?
Apparently someone who is too stupid to understand the difference between “a blog” and “a blog post”.
The tech industry has fully lost its plot.
It never had one, those companies are complicit in genocide, war crimes, news manipulation and part of imperialism since two decades, so destroying the earth is like a side hustle.
I mean wikileaks documents in 2012 showed that google were intentionally involved in the proxy war of Syria, this was lead by western governments co operated with islamist terrorist to start a civil war.
Julian assange wrote an article in 2014 warning everyone about google.
Honestly, 2 decades is charitable, more like since computing was first invented, in the 1940s
