So wait, you’re telling me that Grok, the ai that lets people make trump do a 9/11 or whatever, is running on a data center powered by fuckin gas generators that just spew fumes into a city?? www.npr.org/2024/09/11/n...

How Memphis became a battleground over Elon Musk’s xAI supercomputer
How Memphis became a battleground over Elon Musk’s xAI supercomputer

A massive project headed by Elon Musk in Memphis, Tenn., to power AI has moved at breakneck speed. But it's stirring controversy around pollution emissions. The EPA says it’s looking into it.

Yep. They haven't obtained approval for hookup to the local utilities, and didn't want to wait.

All AI is is a way to turn electricity into heat at record-breaking rates. That's some really shitty skirting around the laws going on there and I hope they get shut down for it. It's bullshit.

Two options here: Shut down AI and smash all the machines like angry cavemen (I favor this option) Or build a shitload of nuclear reactors

Yup and they're not even permitted or regulated since they're using a loophole since the generators aren't "permanent". Coupled with the report from the Guardian that emissions for AI plant emissions are 662% higher than originally reported... Fucking... So exhausting.

Meanwhile I get taxed for bringing my old car into the local city every so often. And fined if I don't pay it. We are truly fucked.
