Our tech overlords would like to make clear that your fantasies of universal health care and affordable housing are childish while their fantasies of infinite energy to power their AI girlfriends are reasonable expectations and will come true imminently. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

AI is exhausting the power grid. Tech firms are seeking a miracle solution.

Some data centers need as much energy as a small city, turning companies that promised a clean energy future into some of the most insatiable guzzlers of power

Have they tried nuclear? Even a relatively small nuclear device could easily take out an entire data centre.

Aren't miracles the territory of religion, not technology?

My question is: where is all that money they're paying to the power grid going? Are they just creating new billionaires who are in charge of energy companies? Or is any of that money going to transitioning to clean energy solutions? Would be nice if they end up helping accidentally.

I've said it before: If my company could make unlimited free energy, what the fuck would I need AI for?

"Some say impossible" (about their new energy-winning technique that would make this AI bullshit feasible) - I don't know, maybe instead of some, they could have said "serious scientists"?

Love that the "solution" is never "stop making this shitty thing no one wants and is destructive".

A miracle seems like a big ask when you could just turn the thing off and the problem is solved.
