I hope that after the bubble bursts the nuclear reactors can be used to put energy on the grid and maybe they'll find something worthwhile to do with all those compute GPUs.

There's GOTTA be a way to combine liquid cooling of server racks and radiators for home heating

We use electricity to cool down one thing while we use electricity to heat up a different thing. Makes no sense.

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
