    This AI data center will be bigger than 2,000 Walmarts and dump '23 atom bombs worth of energy' into the environment every day — and locals are terrified

    The scale sounds almost unreal. The proposed campus reportedly spans around 40,000 acres in Box Elder County, Utah, an area larger than many major cities.

    @gerrymcgovern Who is greenlighting these monsters?

    Or more appropriately, who is being paid to permit them?

      @gerrymcgovern I don't want AI because this was obvious. What is less obvious, is why anyone else does. AI should be a few research projects at this point. Will the AI Winter be this year or next? Do we have another year?

        @woo it can't come soon enough. AI feels like a death dance in the final days of a Growth Death Cult.

          @gerrymcgovern hmm, dropping atom bombs would be a solution when the data center is finished.

          @assimilateborg @gerrymcgovern Yeah, one to demolish the data center one time seems like a much better outcome than 23 every day...

            @gerrymcgovern @assimilateborg It'd probably be more effective to drop them on the mansions of the rich people who keep doing shit like this. You know, get to the root of the problem.

                  @tk @gerrymcgovern @assimilateborg Unfortunately, some luxury bunkers are built with tech that's being kept from the masses, for this very reason.

                    @Brokar @gerrymcgovern they run the data center directly off the emergency generators. No electricity hookup needed.

                      How can it be 9gw electricity, but 16gw thermal load?
                      9gw would require like 6 medium size nuclear power plants, not a gas power plant.
                      Crazy numbers.

                      Ai is the holy grail, but at this cost and no idea if it's even going anywhere. It's like the train has started, everybody is burning fuel to go as far as possible, but is the train even pointed at the right direction?

                        @gerrymcgovern A state governed by white Republicans with deregulation as a religion. Not surprised. When their electric bills quadruple, they will blame Obama.

                          @eldersea @publicwondering @gerrymcgovern Feels more like they're taking paintings of horses and sticking them in front of carriages to me. Except they've somehow found the most inefficient possible way of painting too. They just keep insisting over and over that they're real horses, so people believe them just because they keep saying it — especially the CEOs really excited by the thought of killing the real horses to make glue.

                          It's a heck of a scam.

                                @eldersea @publicwondering @gerrymcgovern With such a environmentally caustic endeavor in any sane system, government would be running a consolidated effort making these entities work together, not open multiple (30 in the US?) energy sucking, water consuming, and environment harming, competing for corporate profits. But this is the new age of tycoons and capitalism run amuck. 💥#TheCapitalistEndGame

                                  This is just one (planned) datacenter of many already existing and even more planned.
                                  To me: All those would only make sense in a dystopian scenario like matrix, skynet or whatever similar... then nonfictional.
                                  None of such scenarios would be good for humans anywhere, not to mention the environment.

                                  So who is promoting such projects for what purpose really anyway?

                                  @grootinside @gerrymcgovern Answer: This is the run away, unsupervised by responsible adults, corrupted crap game run by competing profit and power Corpo entities run on the back of the Nation (as I see it in the US), the table controlled by the fat cat GOP dealers in support of the Trump House, who sincerely feels democracy stands in the way of his scams, power, sick and psycho whims.
