"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
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.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

I thought we were talking specifically about recently built data centers for majority use by AI companies
They typically don't just build 'em for AI. Data centers are general purpose buildings. They provide power, cooling, security, floorspace. What goes into 'em doesn't change anything. You can stuff computers in there that are used for cancer research, cryptomining, AI, ecommerce, it doesn't matter.
