Meta putting up tents across the US to house AI servers, like ‘a scene out of the movie Mad Max’ — structures take three months to build and use jet engines for power (www.tomshardware.com)

These "makeshift" structures are housing hardware that costs millions of dollars in total.

"Putting AI servers inside tents, officially called “rapid deployment structures,” is one of the more unique approaches to the AI build-out, Thomas said. They’re certainly not as sturdy as physical buildings made from steel and concrete, with one commenter comparing it to the “classic $10k racing bike with a $9 lock” situation."

Help me understand again how there isn’t enough wealth in this world to give everyone healthcare, shelter, and enough food not to starve?

We are providing housing camps for AI infrastructure, and AI is nothing more than an idea. Meanwhile the suffering of all life on the planet just goes on because a few monkeys just decided this is the way?

USA spends more on healthcare than countries with socialised healthcare.

[–] Soup@lemmy.world 2 points 4 hours ago

And yet it only goes to very few people. When they don’t pay for basic preventative care, the more complicated issues grow in cost in such a way as to outweigh their “savings”.

The US is a country that believes that not paying your rent or replacing the batteries in the smoke detector is a fantastic way to save money. Joke country.

Okay, but that just proves how profitable it all is

[–] Darleys_Brew@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

It proves having socialised healthcare would be more cost effective. But shareholders.

The real joke of capitalism is that cost-effectiveness undercuts the whole system.

In relation to what?

Homeless don't earn the tech overlords money and they keep the general populace knowing where they could be. It's bullshit that we give these cunts rope rather than just hanging them ourselves.

The upper class keeps all of the money, pays none of the taxes. The middle class pays all of the taxes, does all of the work. The poor are there just to scare the shit out of the middle class. Keep 'em showin' up at those jobs.

Maybe there needs to be a rebellion not against government but the real overlords…
