Ah yes, the “when brute force isn’t working you ain’t using enough of it” approach to AI.
Maybe the secret police storing exabytes of the entire global populations data, to enrich their cronies in tech and surveillance capitalism, should reallocate those resources to something that benefits instead of enslaves?
Just erased (really) that surveillance data, it will spare lots of memory for good goals. But they will go for more toys.
CCleaner, do your stuff!
Given their AI ambitions, a solution could be building data centers in multiple locations to avoid overloading any one region’s power grid. It would be technically challenging, but it may be necessary, Russinovich told Semafor.
“I think it’s inevitable, especially when you get to the kind of scale that these things are getting to,” he said. “In some cases, that might be the only feasible way to train them is to go across data centers, or even across regions,” he said.
Pretty interesting!
I’ve been hearing a lot more interest in on site power generation, which would be nice except it will probably end up being natural gas.
I keep hearing about micro nuclear reactors, and I hear there are some in testing in my general area (I’m in Utah, and I hear there are some projects in Wyoming and Idaho). So here’s hoping that’ll become a thing.
Also, solar panels should work pretty well. I’m thinking:
- solar -> batteries -> hydrogen
- hydrogen -> trucks and recharging batteries
So, basically like a massive UPS with some physical, local energy storage. Here’s hoping these will become practical in the near future.
