NVIDIA Blackwell changed the data center infrastructure permanently.
120kW per rack.
Mandatory liquid cooling.
$500K to $2M per MW in CapEx.
Here is what that means for AI compute access and why decentralized networks are the answer.
@ZssBecker Covid was one such scenario where most of us realized how important it is to live in the present and be happy/show gratitude for what you have - family, friends etc. Thanks for sharing your true story and remind us of Covid lessons that life is short& enjoy it with lived ones.
@cryptomanran one could argue that miners should invest now to sell into btc bull run but this bear trend tested every one and all are looking for bottom signals before throw dry powder at it 2/2
@cryptomanran Miners are trying to survive this bear market and diversifying it.Hopefuly they make enough that they could invest in hardware at the hint of bull market. As btc goes up, it will be more profitable than AI compute. 1/2
Everyoneโs missing the real story here.
Metaโs Ray-Ban glasses need human data annotators to train the AI. When you say โHey Metaโ and ask the glasses to analyze something, that video gets sent to Metaโs servers, then routed to Sama, a subcontractor in Nairobi, Kenya. Workers there manually label objects in your footage. They see everything you recorded, intentionally or not.
7 million pairs sold in 2025 alone. Every single pair generates training data that flows through human eyes in Kenya. Workers told Swedish journalists they see people undressing, using bathrooms, having sex, and accidentally filming bank card details. One worker said โwe see everything, from living rooms to naked bodies.โ
Metaโs automatic face anonymization is supposed to protect people in the footage. Workers say it fails in certain lighting. Faces that should be blurred are sometimes fully visible. The person you recorded without knowing? A stranger in Nairobi can identify them.
Buried in Metaโs terms of service is one sentence doing enormous legal work: the company reserves the right to conduct โmanual (human) reviewโ of your AI interactions. Thatโs the legal cover for routing intimate footage from Western homes to a $2/hour labor force operating under NDAs, office surveillance cameras, and a strict no-questions policy. Workers say if you raise concerns about what youโre seeing, youโre fired.
This is the same company, Sama, that TIME exposed in 2023 for paying Kenyan workers $2/hour to label graphic content for OpenAI while being billed at $12.50/hour per worker. Workers described the experience as torture. Sama ended that contract, then pivoted to labeling Metaโs glasses footage. Same workforce. Same rates.
Meta markets these glasses as โdesigned with your privacy in mind.โ The privacy design is a tiny LED light on the frame that most people donโt notice. The data pipeline behind it routes your bedroom footage to a contractor with a documented history of worker exploitation, failed anonymization, and union-busting lawsuits.
And the next generation of these glasses? Meta is planning to add facial recognition. The same system that canโt reliably blur faces in training data wants to start identifying them on purpose.
The LED light on the frame is doing about as much for your privacy as the terms of service nobody reads.
