Reading the article, the conclusions seem to line up with what I experience. Namely the part where it says that individual users found a productivity boost.

At my company, we have a bunch of AI based tools set up, and it’s impressive how much of the time consuming, boring, burnout-inducing gruntwork I can offload to the robots, and instead spend more of my working hours working on things I actually want to work on.

And we also deploy things like AI search for internal knowledge bases. Being able to quickly get the information you need to complete your job, especially if that information is related to sales is definitely good for business, but I’m not even sure how you’d measure that in terms of “profit”.

Yet they’ve never needed to commission power plants to dedicate power to these facilities.

Never?

No you’re right, they built the first one, all the demand that could ever be needed is covered by it, and there’s no reason to ever build any more.

It does if you consider that they are actually building them to support power usage of datacenters. And that datacenters are used for a lot more than just AI training.

I wonder how many people clutching their pearls over this also eat meat…

All of that adds to the energy costs

But do you actually know how much that is? Or are you just assuming it’s a lot.

Because demand for data centers is rising, with AI as just one of many reasons.

But that’s not as flashy as telling people it takes the energy of a small country to make a picture of a cat.

Also interesting that we’re ignoring something here – big tech is chasing cheap sources of clean energy. Don’t we want cheap, clean energy?

Weirdly, it kinda was…

Oh heck yeah!

Yeah, I was running it through Heroic launcher and it worked great.

Hope it still works for you, what a nice win that would be!

How recently is that? I’ve played plenty of Rocket League on Linux, but probably not within the last year.

Ah yes, the only 2 design options. 1998 or Microsoft.

If only you understood anything you were talking about. Oh well!

Lol okay. Have fun LARPing, comrade.

Oh wow, “no u”.

Devastating comeback.

Thanks for exemplifying the “CaPiTaLiSm BaD” person from my original comment so well! The total inability to engage with my comment to the point of inventing a whole new one to argue with was a really nice touch!

Whoever you’re shadowboxing there is taking a hell of a beating!
