100Gw is equivalent to the power used by 72 million Americans or 21.8% of this country.
We’re in for some insano climate change if we use coal, natural gas, and other extremely dirty energy sources to add this much power to the grid every year.
Altman is IMO, the most dangerous person on the planet outside of Trump and his cabal, and perhaps Netanyahu.
And the real wild part is that chatgpt is one of the shittiest llms out there. You can do better with a local model on a consumer video card, I can run ollama on my own busted laptop chip with 2gb vram.
Fucked.
A nuclear power plant outputs about 1GW, and they are notoriously fast and cheap to build
You can build a nuclear power plant fast and cheap? What?
the hyperbole indicates sarcasm
doesn’t really apply here
Are you stupid?
Thats about (3) Three Gorges Dams of new power generation, every year. When was the last time the US completed a project anywhere near the scale of just (1)?
It’s simply not happening, no matter how much money they throw at it.
It’s the perfect excuse for a bunch of rich failsons to party on new yachts and private jets and mysteriously fail to complete the project
We could get close by just buying every portable generator sold in the US for several years.
The human brain only needs 20 watts.
Give me energy. Energy me. Energy now. Me a energy needing a lot now.
The American economy is a runaway freight train on a collision course with reality.
I like to imagine the actual LLM did this, not the company.
It’s peak capitalism. They managed to siphon all the money out of making something only this time there is no “something” being made. All the labors of the world to make a big box with nothing inside.
its the beginning of the singularity that will eat the entire universe. He already doesnt control it and his chatgpt gf is telling him she needs MOAR POWA
Energy me. Energy now. Me a energy needing a lot now
Just the first $1 trillion
With the shutdown and this entire AI bubble, I’m anxious for what happens next when the US shits the bed.
You can do better with a local model on a consumer video card, I can run ollama on my own busted laptop chip with 2gb vram.
Shout out to the Ollama devs, and llama.cpp devs. Absolute wizards.
Yeah I’m gonna play around with doing image gen on this old laptop but I need to update my video drivers tomorrow. Sure it takes like 3-4 to gen a response in an llm with my low vram but at least I know it’s not killing the planet.
i mean they’re facebook arent they?
I guess not, it was started by Georgi Gerganov to implement facebook’s Llama without any dependencies. Ollama is system built on top of llama.cpp to assist with model management and deployment
You all think this is a bubble. I’m just saying the singularity already happened, and we’re just experiencing the outcomes of it.
Doesn’t it seem insane how much money they’re spending on AI that no one asked for?
I’ve got a conspiracy that most of the data centers aren’t used for chat bots and slop images, but like 90% of them are mass surveillance and they’ve built an even bigger panopticon.
It’s the same thing.
They already have the tech to record all our conversations with our smartphones. They just lacked the means to proactively analyze the exabytes of data instead of first flagging people as “persons of interest.” AI is their attempt at developing that tech.
Altman’s other business is a nuclear startup.
I have done nothing wrong in my life, EVER.
That’s a lot of blown up Appalachian mountaintops.
But what is a few sacred indigenous peaks between old friends?
no no the only sacred things are the white house east wing and the cheapest possible bread-like thing that had a magic spell cast on it
