Fair enough, I didn’t realise they were so different from traditional DC’s.

Well that’s one way to speed run environmental catastrophe.

Sorry to burst your bubble but DC’s aren’t going anywhere. Even if we are in a position to make quantum computers commercially available in the next 10 years they’ll still need to be housed somewhere, powered, cooled and connected.

Besides, quantum computers are great at complex calculations and simulations but you wouldn’t use them to host a website or a VPS. They’ll be hideously expensive so will only be used for the specific workloads that they excel at and everything else will done with the same servers we have now.

I’ve never seen a data centre with a chimney stack. This must be an American thing.

It doesn’t. The process we have now kicked off is not going to change to any great degree whether we continue to build or stop building data centres.

Even if we immediately stopped all pollution and went back to a pre-industrial way of life, the damage is done, the ice caps will continue to melt and we will still have to deal with the consequences of our actions.

I’m not saying we should continue to abuse the environment, but AI wasn’t the catalyst for climate change and it isn’t the worst thing we are doing.

Yeah, because if it wasn’t for AI, the climate would be just fine.

Blame the motor vehicle, logging, industrial farming, factories…

I get that AI is the new poster-boy for everything that’s wrong with the world, but the environment was fucked long before it came along.

Sorry, threw out some bait and wanted to see what I caught 😉 🎣

It’s like, there is a vegan community, but there isn’t a meat eaters community. We don’t need to spend a lot of time boring people telling them we use Windows, and how good Windows is.

The 5 people that bought them are going to be really annoyed by this.

How could he keep a straight face after saying that? I would’ve burst out laughing if I was in the audience.

I’ve visited the US 3 times, they’ve got all mine already.

Why? What’s wrong with Authy? I use it, Proton and Bitwarden. I could consolidate everything into Proton, but I’m concerned about having everything with one vendor.

We’re probably nearing the point where Americans will start trying to get over the border wall and into Mexico.

I’m pretty sure Canada doesn’t want Trump’s golden shower

It actually helps Australia more than anyone as we are the 2nd largest exporter of LNG after the US.

He was never going to give us an exemption and anyone believing he will is delusional, like Trump.

I was today years old when I found out egg trafficing is a thing.

Imagine going to prison for it and bunking next to a guy who got done for heroin trafficing.

He shouldn’t have been allowed to run until all outstanding criminal litigation was completed, and any punishment served/paid.

It’s called hedging your bets.

Instead of Waco, Texas it will be Wacko, Texas.
