I always forget Erin Brockovich is a real person and not just a character played by Julia Roberts
If they make a sequel movie based on her current activities, who will they cast to play Julia Roberts in the in-universe version of the film based on the first movie?
Chris Pratt.
Julia Roberts played fake Julia Roberts in one of the Oceans movies, so she's qualified.
The site explicitly mentions "AI data centers", but how do you differentiate AI data centers from... non-AI data centers I guess?
I understand the anti-AI sentiment and environmental issues, etc. but I also think a lot of non-technical people don't realise that literally everything they do online uses a data center.
AI datacenters outscale every other kind of data center by an extremely large margin. Most data centers are smaller than a Costco.
Assuming the specs and blueprints are publicly available, an AI data center will look different on the inside compared to a traditional data center. The former will have more GPU racks and probably higher power requirements.
This, but it may also be apparent even without detailed information. The key difference is an absurd level of power density. So compare footprint to power. Power can be estimated easiest based on backup generators as their smokestacks are almost always visible. The last variable is whatever generator size from CAT, Cummins etc is the most cost effective, or that was still somehow left in a warehouse to actually buy.
Also if they're running the "backup" generators even when the power grid isn't having any issues...
You know, Elon Musk was dumping the same shit the movie was about in Texas recently!? Soon Teflon somewhere else like Dupont again
Sounds like a good movie. You got the name?
Edit - Nevermind, I looked up Erin Brockovich and found her movie.
This fuck is an antisemite and should be banned from the instance
