There is a story people tell about AI regulation, and it goes like this: the technology is moving too fast, governments can't keep up, regulators are overwhelmed, and by the time anyone writes a law the thing they're trying to regulate has already evolved into something else entirely.
No. That's not the story people are telling about AI regulation. It goes like this:
If we regulate AI, that will give an advantage to AI companies in other countries. They will surpass our AI capabilities and leave us in the technological dust.
There's a related story:
If we regulate AI, we're likely to create more problems because Boomers don't understand technology.
For those wondering how TF a data center that is not even online yet could be using so much water:
- Soil compaction
- Dust suppression
That's it. For the scale of that project, that's all it would take to use 30 million gallons.
When they're done, they also need to flush miles of pipes which could also use a few million gallons but I don't think they're at that phase yet.
This amount of water would be used no matter what buildings they were constructing in that amount of space. Meaning: This article is pretty misleading clickbait (because a lot of people hate data centers lately, the headline will generate clicks).
The alternative is to have loads of data centers instead of one big one. That's more expensive, so they build a single big one.
If you don't like data centers, it makes sense to build a few really, really big ones like this rather than lots of smaller ones. Because data centers are necessary and important aspects of modern living. They're not going to just go away. There's nothing that could replace them.
Koalas have nearly identical fingerprints as well:
Everyone wants to access Netflix, YouTube, Prime Video, etc through their TV interface and I just don't get it. The best experience is when you hook up a PC to your TV... not some TV-centric Android OS or Roku's thing.
Install Kubuntu on some old PC with a GPU that can handle 4K @60Hz and you're good to go. KDE and Firefox let you crank up the zoom so everything's easy to read and it even has HDR support (though I prefer going without it... Old person eyes).
It's such a vastly superior experience. Not only do you get the usual stuff, you can use a real keyboard to type into that search bar. You can also access all those pirate streaming sites and do normal PC stuff like play games.
Remember kids: It's not okay to give your developers access to production credentials. However, it's totally fine to give them to hallucinating GPU addicts.
So their AI prompts are like...
Women: "My boyfriend keeps looking at his phone instead of me!"
Men: "Explain the Bessemer process to me in case I get Isekai'd."

I browse "All" most of the time and the Femcel Memes show up pretty regularly. It's not like this gif though. It's more like watching a super interesting science experiment.
"Ah, yes. I see. I see. How interesting!"
My scientific notes so far:
- They crave cuddles. It's almost like a cuddle-based economy.
Their... menace?
I have zero faith in faith-based anything. Because no one should. That counts 10x when it's run by or featured by the government.
Just another way the Trump administration wants to enable pedophiles and sexual predators.
One look at this picture and I was like, "oh dam!"
Thank you for posting this comment. I came here to write the exact same thing and now I don't have to!
