what do you think is probably gonna be the end point to this? I don't think it's accurate to blame AI as a whole - optimized local models aren't anything worse than high end gaming, for one, and AI is more than generative shit - but rapid increase in data centers really are like vampires to struggling power grids. The draw on water resources and slave cobalt is also a clear issue. Big generative AI appearing in every fucking thing reeks of a tech bubble that's going to explode before the decade is out. How bad does this get? Seems fucked in a time where summers genuinely are getting worse and "you will be 80 degrees indoors" is getting softlaunched. The only genAI thing I actually take as a guilty pleasure is c.ai stuff and co desu the rest can go to hell.

Why is this suddenly a problem when the massive amount of energy taken up by conventional computing was simply accepted? The average person owns and regularly uses 2 - 5 computers. That's a pretty massive sink of energy and resources and it's often totally unnecessary.

New technology is always subject to harsher demands than the technology it aims to replace by people who don't want it to be accepted. Look at the ridiculous shit spouted about EVs.

Truthfully I do think that it is putting a strain on the grid.
Especially in the US. The US energy grid has been in an awful state for a long time and people have talked about how antiqued and inefficient it is but how much money it'd cost to fix.

Chatgpt alone is very open about how their model takes up the same amount of power as a small city 24 hours a day and that's just one service. Services like bard and bing are probably pretty close and with every billion dollar company wanting their own AI, it's not a surprise that it's going to continually draw on a grid that's already lackluster.
As other anons have said though, the solution to this would be to approve of and build more nuclear reactors. But since our presidents and Congress are full of people who were 20+ when Chernobyl happened, progress on nuclear reactors has been lackluster at best
>>
>>101107997

>>101107526
I am quite sure this will collapse at start of the new US president term its fueled by retarded money printing because the money has to go somewhere and after the election they will like always run away or start a new bigger war. Either way no more energy for a larp engine.

First, we need to have public owned and managed additional renewable power generation, ASAP. We also need subsidized renewables for individual use (ie if every home had solar panels able to feed back to the grid it would be a large benefit. Also lots of developments in solar including translucent PV cell capture, so skyscrapers can have windows absorbing sunlight, ability to fab panels with less need for rare conflict minerals etc) and more.

That said, don't bother listen to social media bullshit about only caring about this shit because its TEH AH EYE which is the latest enemy du jour because they perceive its power and usage is operated by the same people who were CRYPTO BROS who did similarly wasteful shit in their mind. If they really care about that, then they should be interested in getting open source self-hostable top tier AI so its not limited to megacorps running thousands upon thousands of dollars of hardware etc. However there are plenty of computing usages that take a lot of power, but unlike EVIL AI BECAUSE IT MEANS NOT THE MAXIMUM AMOUNT OF PATREON FURRY PORN COMMISSIONS FOR ARTISTS among other bullshit, they see those as "useful".

All those temps are way too high. 65F when I'm home, 65F when I'm gone, 65F when I sleep. One setting so the system only has to maintain a temp. Further heavily upgrading the insulation in my home makes it so I can use a small split units all year. Each room is extremely comfortable. My gas furnace only comes on once a year when I have it tested before winter. Spend way less on energy and got the insulation done at a huge discount thanks to tax credits. Going to upgrade all the windows next year if there is a good credit for it.

It's nvidia's fault for not being able to make faster chips, and instead making 300W, 400W, 600W TDP the norm so they can just double their chip sizes for more speed.

Bullshit. Materials in nuclear reactors aren't refined enough to actually explode. Just because it has 'nuclear' in its name doesn't mean it's anything like a nuclear bomb. Meltdowns are pretty unexciting in practice, and the fact that the biggest fuckups in nuclear energy have done barely any damage (especially compared to fossil fuels) show just how safe it is. (And Chernobyl was a very, very, very huge fuckup, it was a cartoonish level of failure upon failure. Even that didn't do all that much for the worst incident in history.)
>>
>>101115974
Zirconium cladding of fuel rods can react with water to produce hydrogen, hydrogen can explode when combined with oxygen.
It's a fact that all nuclear reactors DESPERATELY WANT TO EXPLODE and nuclear reactor operators have to desperately scramble 24/7 to prevent that outcome. ONE person makes ONE mistake for ONE nanosecond, and the reactor explodes. If you seriously deny that, you are a bought shill from the nuclear industrial complex.

Electrical engineer here. We’ll definitely max out the capacity quickly with how aggressively tech companies are pursuing this, however what’s interesting is that this is in turn demanding updates to our antiquated power grid and power technology in general. These were massive issues that needed solving anyway. That said I don’t think it’s currently accurate to act like it is gobbling power right now, will be in the future. What everything is dependent on though is, can we continue to (quickly) scale down intelligence like Claude 3.5 Llama 3 and phi 3 using these large models to avoid going full retard with the power grid.

>Yes let's punish the consumer so the industry can make even more money.

1. consumer is already taxed to fuck in EU, so it won't make a difference.
2. nvidia is already raising prices for their nextgen cards for no reason so they are already making more money and consumers are getting fucked more
3. tax on 200+W TDP would force midrange cards, that don't reach 200W, to end up cheaper since they are exempt
4. it also means that companies may consciously start focusing on limiting card power, instead of the current horse shit situation of normalizing 600W cards and 4 slot coolers.

Hell, at this rate, how about they just remove all PCIE slots from the motherboard and put a LGA socket in for the GPU, so we can put proper tower coolers or even water coolers on them, which would cool them infinitely better and wouldn't require 4 slot 40cm long coolers on a PCB that's only the length of the PCIE slot.

Nuclear power plants don't work like in the Simpsons. There have been maybe two or three major incidents, (Chernobyl, Fukushima), and a couple of soviet nuclear subs that went down, and nearly all of them happened because the money grabbing assholes in charge kept the plants running despite them being out of date and getting several warnings.

What the fuck is this thread? My AC is set to 80 pretty much all the time and I'm comfy as fuck. Depending on the outside temp I usually set it between 78 and 86.

The US government would instantly classify the patent under the Information Secrecy Act.

No way they let the rest of the world have access to fusion if a US company figures it our first.

For anyone who isn't a mind broken anti-life jeet, I recommend donating to the clean air task force if you aren't doing anything else to help. They seem to be relatively free of corruption and aren't left wing. Also conservation charities.

80 degrees isn't even that bad. 85 is when I start getting uncomfortable, but it's fucking 90 and muggy in the one non-airconditioned room in my house and it's unbearable every time I have to walk in there to grab something.

power generation should be the end users problem, not some company/government agency or what have you. Make everyone generate their own power via solar/wind/hamster wheel etc.
>>
They make heat pumps that run directly off of solar panels. Cooling is solved.
>>
>>101122219
>Why the fuck do you think they cool the reactors with water in the first place?
Because water is chemically inert, cheap and widely available. Water is not what shields the reactor. They use lead, steel or some composites for it.

Only place that is acceptable to have 80 degrees is the sauna. And even that is warm for a sauna
>>
>>101123737
what's the issue with making people responsible for their own power generation? Niggers have 9 tv's and 5 refrigerators running all day because they don't know/aren't responsible for generating enough power to power all the bullshit they use. Once they need to fucking do the work themselves they'll need to make some hard choices on what they use that power for. It's a net positive all around.

I don't know anything about nuclear engineering, other than every year the US Navy takes hundreds of high school graduates and trains them to operate nuclear reactors on submarines and aircraft carriers and they haven't had any problems in forever.

AI gives me a more direct answer to my questions than I can find rummaging through a bunch of old message board posts. Fuck you.
>>
>>101123707
I would if I knew how. Is it actually practical to have some sort of local generator on one's property? At least, it might help me offset costs along with solar.
>>
>>101107831
They hate you because you’re right. To everyone else, what we should just never build more energy generators? Fuck outta here with your commie bullshit
>>
>>101108302
What if we just dropped a bunch of high yield nuclear weapons on third world countries instead? The nuclear winters would keep things nice and cool.
>>
>>101124112
Unfortunately 'nuclear winter' is not real
Your plan still has merit though
>>
>>101124118
Why wouldn't it be real? Putting large quantities of dust particles high in the atmosphere actually does stop sooar rays from hitting the planet. That's one of the reasons why volcanos cause such extreme cold snaps when they erupt.
>>

There's no real science to back it up, it's another jewish trick to put fear into goy like you

Just bury it in the same place you dug it up and let it decay into lead, it's really not that hard

>>101122135
That's disappointing. No matter how it happens, the point is its not supposed to be predicated on some warped lolbertarian justification for who profits, but its supposed to get ubiquitous solar generation out there. Subsidy is one way to go but we'd be better off just making it contingent on building codes - the same way you can't build new construction to be full of asbestos and lead, it could be required that smart grid 2-way capable electricity, modular and replaceable panels/collectors of some sorts, storage like batteries etc... are requirements for new construction. You add subsidy for those converting or upgrading old construction etc. Not only is it a jobs program for all the fabrication and installation, it also means people with homes built in the 20th century will go through the pain in the ass of a remodel if they believe its going to lower their electric bill and even make them some money. There's other stuff that can and should be done, like public ownership of power utilities the way that its done in many locations for water/sewage (many places we still have for profit power corps adding all kinds of generation charges, transmission charges etc.. no matter who's doing the actual power provision, because they own the lines in the area etc) but if we're serious about environmentally viable power generation, there are tons of places we should look before screeching about AI which is mostly just a sideshow attraction for social media tards (especially when they advocate against FOSS AI self host platforms).

As opposed to destroying the atmosphere, or dumping trillions of tons of microplastics into the environment...?
>>
>>101110963
It's not harmful. Tons of nuclear waste has been produced, lots of it dumped into the ocean and you can't point to a single study that it has caused any meaningful harm to humans. As long as you're not sleeping on top of nuclear waste, it has no significant impact on your health.

It's only badly radioactive for some hundreds of years, after that heavy metal toxicity is a bigger issue

and if that's so serious then why aren't you complaining about handling the removed lead pipes? Or the much more toxic chemical waste that we dump everywhere?
