The computer itself? Safe! The dangerous AI XANA? Absolutely would destroy the climate. Literally was overcharging a power cylinder thing in order to send a powerful enough charge to a nuclear power plant in order to cause nuclear fallout in one episode.
You don’t know if they’re sentient or not. I bet if the AI becomes sentient it won’t let humans know.
All I can think of is AM
Okay, I agree, but you can’t tell me some server rooms don’t look cool af.
That is correct, I have worked in a server room that has glass floor panels with gamer lighting under them, mood lighting in the ceiling and a huge viewing window in the wall to the rest of the office.
It looked damn cool.
we wanted fusion powered machines. “nucular” is only for the tarded muricans.
This is … Incredibly dumb.
The whole climate impact of AI is overstated a million times over. You can run a perfectly capable, GPT 4o destroying LLM on your own GPU right now. What is the difference between jonkling to vidya gaems or running an LLM for doing something productive for a fucking change?
The servers running the network you posted this shit over , the servers used to develop your favorite Gacha coom game, the servers used to deliver your shit ass Xitter feed, or your Netflix garbage, use more power than AI and LLMs are actually actively more productive than that shit
You can run a fully fletched LLM at home but you can’t train the model. The latter is a huge contributor to power consumption. Running it is peanuts in comparison.
That is a one time cost. Do you add the cost of every single watt of electricity ever generated, the cost of making factories, extracting materials and so on, to the “climate impact” of electrical rail service or EVs?
This is just hysteria, I’m going to be absolutely deadass with you
Also, you theoretically could make an LLM entirely on your own PC, it’d just take a bit of time
Yes I do in fact. We need to lower the economical impact of production too, consumption is just a drop in the bucket. To put it in perspective, I can run my PC from a second hand generator. Most low end generators might even be able to run 10s of my PCs. A datacenter training the high end LLMs that I could be running needs a nuclear power plant worth of energy. We are talking multiple magnitudes of difference.
I suppose you don’t consider the coal-powered electricity that powers your EV when reflecting over your impact too?
OK you walk the walk I respect that
If you could be arsed, it’s entirely possible to train an LLM with 10 PCs using strictly open source and ethical datasets available on huggingface (although not something that is going to beat SOTA models)
Bro u made 60 posts in the past 24 hours. Do you even sleep ?
Plot Twist, OP is an actual sentient AI from the alternate timeline 🤖
Heh I’m just a night owl with an 8-5 lolol
They are going to be powered by small modular reactors, though. So I guess there’s one extra box you can tick.
We can tick the box on spec now and check back in 10 years to see if they ever actually developed a commercially viable rector.
AI companies are looking at nuclear, so we might get a check on the top right box soon.
Three Mile Island is reopening and selling its power to Microsoft
AI companies are completely unable to afford to keep running, and I’d be incredibly surprised if they’re still seriously around in 2028
No way those racks are running GPUs.
I was trying to find the most boring data center picture I could ok, sooo many of them seem to have been taken with a lot of “artistic license” and hyped up LMAO

Here’s some newer ones
XANA constantly destroyed the climate though, just with like, giant teddy bears and giving children PTSD
XANA also almost caused a nuclear power plant to explode. I think that would also be considered climate destruction.
The left image looks like an old Cray computer. Could be an interesting indicator of the age of the image or the artist who made it.
Cray (the company) often had interesting designs that probably ended up influencing a lot of sci-fi. CDC (control data corporation) had interesting designs as well, prior to that, and Cray (the person) worked there before founding his own company.
One other supercomputer line with iconic looks is Connection Machines which are IMO some of the coolest looking computers ever made.
Lol it’s the XANA super computer from Code Lyoko
I think their point stands. I wonder if the creator of the show was directly influenced by Cray.
I so completely and utterly misread their comment, I knew that was a big hit I took lolol
