@PeterDiamandis Nah bro. Real world deployment is Scam Altman, Dario and the rest of the Silicon Valley echo chamber thought people would embrace AI after being told jobs are obsolete, their degrees don't matter and just "deal with it." They're doing damage control ahead of their IPO.
@nic_carter Spoken like a rich dude who doesn’t have to worry about his neighborhood. I bet you’re ok with the exploited workers who have review disgusting material. It doesn’t affect your comfortable like so you don’t care.
@ClimateWarrior7 For sure. It’s called the El Niño effect happening this year. We’re seeing rain after years of draught where I am. It’s warming in some area and cooling in others.
Utah approved a data center so massive it's going to be more than twice the size of Manhattan
It’s called The Stratus Project, it’s a AI data center campus in Box Elder County
- The full project could cover over 40,000 acres, an area bigger than Manhattan
- Total size will be around 62 square miles
- The power demand is 3 gigawatts of electricity, roughly the output of multiple nuclear reactors
- Environmental groups warn it could raise Utah's planet-heating pollution by nearly 50%
- Estimates suggest the project's power systems could consume up to 16.6 billion gallons of water per year. (25,000 Olympic swimming pools)
First let’s talk about power, it will actually use up to 9 GW of power. This is roughly double Utah’s current peak electricity demand. Only the first phase will use 3 GW
Next let’s talk about water, Developers are now saying that they will use closed-loo dry (air-based) cooling systems to minimize consumption. But it’ll still use a lot of water
This is bad news for water conservation. Utah is in drought conditions, the Great Salt Lake is shrinking. It’s visible and you can see it right now
So why do we need this really, according to what I can find it’s going to be tied with defense contracts
The data center will be tied to US defense priorities. It overlaps with Department of Defense areas and is advanced through Utah’s Military Installation Development Authority. Officials cite needs for energy resilience, secure computing power, and data storage for defense operations
So this is a private data center but it’s not really a private data center…. Because it’ll be working with the government. One layer removed…
@davidpattersonx Not a leftist here. Let’s put this in your backyard and see how much you love it. I’m not opposed to AI. It’s a tool game changer. But there needs to be a less extractive way. This is beyond ridiculous. https://t.co/jWeESr2C2J

@Defi_MiaX@coinbureau Don’t be. Embrace the most advanced technology. With AI you can do SO much. Think independently and entrepreneurially. When you’re in control of you destiny you don’t worry about getting laid off. You have the biggest advantage of all: youth. Time. Grab the opportunity.
