Our digital spaces, once heralded as revolutionary, are collapsing. And the advent of AI is likely to quicken the collapse of these spaces, if we fail to understand the scale of what is happening.

    You fail to see a problem with increasing power demands by 10-20x beyond their existing consumption rates?

    Do you have any sources to back up that asspull? Seriously, you have no idea what you’re talking about here. How would we suddenly build ten to twenty times as many power generators as we currently have, even with infinite money being thrown at the problem?

    Let me change your sentence, then you try it on for size and see how you like it.

    Again, do you not realize there are environmentally friendly ways to produce electricity?

    these systems are behemoths that consume insane amounts of energy, they are not making enough money to pay for themselves

    Then how are the people who are running them able to keep running them?

      Directly from a keynote given at OpenCompute a few weeks ago. Swing and a miss.

      List for me which ones can be built in 1GW installations feasibly and cost effectively, please. And if you choose solar, detail the physical size of the facility. I’ll wait here.

      Then how are the people who are running them able to keep running them?
