“Northern Virginia needs the equivalent of several large nuclear power plants to serve all the new data centers planned and under construction. “
Why?
“A major factor behind the skyrocketing demand is the rapid innovation in artificial intelligence, which is driving the construction of large warehouses of computing infrastructure that require exponentially more power than traditional data centers.”
@jippi@Gdobbs2 I think that if we all told our opinion strong enough and banned/shamed all those who fx travel by ✈ then we can see a reverse happen. I will NEVER trust AI, humans control AI and can make anything happen in the wrong way...
@Brask@Gdobbs2 I also don’t trust ai (and computers in general) - as a software engineer that have seen the inside of a lot of systems over the years - absolutely zero trust in even dumb computers. But I sadly also don’t trust the majority of people - certainly not those that have been in power last 30-40 years. Always optimizing for their own benefit, reelections and short term wins. Which is why we are probably screwed until things get really bad (and probably too late) 🤦♂️
