But you do realize that un-innovative, plain old data centers not for bots and AI are a thing, right?
You literally can't throw your opinion at me without them.
Very ironic you are saying that on a federated social media platform with no data centers.
Where do you think Lemmy instances are hosted? I know for a fact mine is hosted in a Hetzner center. Not in the corner of someone's living room, on an old computer.
I think you meant to say that to the absolute anti-data center person, not me. I'm trying to explain that not all data centers are for LLMs and therefore killing the planet at hyperspeed.
