"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

I'm not entirely sure, but it seems to me that you claim that the energy consumption issue of datacenters has been solved.
In what way has it been solved? The only way to solve it is after all by not having AI datacenters consume energy at all, being superflous things and all since: 1. we can easily live without AI datacenters. 2. we desperately need to cut back on energy consumption in every way possible on account of climate change.
Those factors seem at odds with your (possible) claim that the energy consumption of those centers has been solved.
We have figured how to create renewable energy, it's just the politics of today that don't let its use.
I don't agree with your only way to solve it.
Why do you think renewable energy can't meet these demands?
