Yes, each data center uses an entire lake of water. The hysterics are pretty sad and baseless.
replyHave you ever considered that the solution to not having enough power is to generate more power, not curtail progress?
All of these data center should come with their own solar panel arrays and battery packs. Who knows with enough need they might each come with their own small nuclear reactor.
Then, if the Ai bubble is truly a bubble, the giant compute warehouses can be transitioned to power plants and used to store Amazon junk for delivery instead. Wonder what the economic wonkiness looks like when energy is that abundant.
replyAnyone that has at least somewhat been following the space knows that this is not a bubble. Once we get to the point where these things can reliably come up with novel actions for physical robots, it’s game over. In fact, Unitree just released a video today where someone asks the robot to do something and it generates a new output action in real time. We’re very close.
