This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
Him and everyone else. The only problem is that NVIDIA can only build them so fast, and there's only so much high power datacenter space.
I hope the Muskrat chose a site with limited water resources. Without ample water, good luck keeping a data center cool enough to operate at 100%.

you should try to ask the same question using xAI / Grok if possible. May also ask ChatGPT about Altman as well
We really need to tax energy used by GPU-burning projects differently. AI training, blockchain, whatever. Such a wasteful endeavour.
Energy and water.
Carbon tax, it was proposed so many years ago and it's always been a good idea.
By now it should be a hard carbon budget and not a simple tax that can be dodged.
Fun fact they pay lower rate than households because fuxk you peasants ;)
All industrial users pay lower, because they're able to apply economies of scale and locate themselves in places with lower power costs. Some of them are big enough that the utilities will build power lines and plants specifically to make electricity cheaper. It's not just a matter of "oh, they're rich, so we'll charge them less."
I do understand the basics of how this works but big and/or business is directly subsidized by taxpayer and rate payer at every corner. It is getting tiring seeing this clown show when large swathes of population living hand to mouth, month in, month out.
You would think this would make people realize where the money is going ;)
That's the true point. How much is this really helping? I know as a private company they can do what they want but we need medical care, food security, and housing security. Nobody seems to give a rat's ass about being the Tony Stark of public or cheap housing. The things we truly need are not mystical ecosystem locking Jarvis's, but plain old reliable social services and other public services to lower the daily strain on the individual worker.
But have you heard about AI and another millennial billionaire progidy who will save us all sorry peasants?
It will produce bigoted falsehoods so damn fast!
damn so much computing power.
But can it run Crysis?
We will need at least 1 more gpu for that.
How many open tabs can it have in Firefox?
We need a real show of performance, "how many chrome tabs can it have open?" Is the real test.
I will have my Grandma use that Gigacomputer for an hour, we will know the number.
The only thing my grandma would test is how waterproof it is when she gets into her German lesbian midget scat porn.
Is she single?
If you have a line or two.
She can do rails of pearl while I new deal her dust bowl as long as you call me Peepaw when I take you to museums.
Wow that's almost 6% of what Microsoft is buying this year for that same purpose.
