Lowell, a small city of 120,000 people in Massachusetts, has a BBD (Big Black Datacenter) in the middle of the city. Sure, plumes of smoke and giant whirling turbines are on 24/7 and the ground vibrates constantly, where you can even see puddles of water on the ground shake. But it creates dozens of local jobs, where you don't have to travel very far to get to.

As big AI gets bigger and better, thousands of these will pop up across the country, starting from small towns, to small and then bigger cities.

Why would any red-blooded and patriotic American hate this?

Do datacenters actually have jobs outside of security guards, a janitor and one guy to turn a machine off and on if for some reason it can't be done remotely?
>>
>>109260722
No. And they ship in data center builders from other places as well as illegals. So it doesn't create jobs that way either.
>>
Why? Becuase more isn't always better and in a lot of cases it's worse.
We're showing the rest of the world that in order to compete we need all this. Is it not obvious why that's embarrassing?
Think about it in terms of fuel instead of money.
Would you brag to people that your car needs more fuel to get to the same destination?
We're spending a lot of money in a lot of places just to accomplish this and it's not even obvious if it's worth doing.
Meanwhile China is legitimately releasing things you can run on a home computer. To me that is incredibly embarrassing.
Chinese hobbyists coming into the game late with way less resources and they end up solving the problem faster than us with less. And you think we should gloat? It's a good thing that we're going to need billions of dollars and several years, not to advance, but to catch up, and once we catch up we'll not only be behind again, but the principle still applies. We need multiple datacenters to do the same thing as an independent person.
That's dog shit in terms of engineering. And I'm not even sure it makes sense from an economic perspective.

Not hundreds. Dozens.

Maybe this is why?

Exactly. They can do it right, and people wouldn't complain about it then. But it's slightly cheaper to shit on everyone, so they do that because we let them.

The building was always there, it was a spaghetti factory before (which from further research has been there since 1939 so probably older than most of the buildings around it)
i dont know when it was built. It just says they moved their pasta operation there in 1939, but it doesn't say if they purchased the building or if they built it. SO it could be even older. Well I guess maybe their a limit to how old a building that big is likely to be.

>>109261599
This. It's full of white people. Put a data center next to every single one of their houses.
>>
>>109260722
Older ones had a handful of tech jobs. Some were due to hardware being less reliable, so it needed people on site that could do that physically. Most were co-lo so many companies advertised 24/7 on-site support, meaning each company had their own set of guys waiting around in an equipment room for when something needed hands on attention.
These newer facilities have more reliable hardware, better remote administration tools, and often are used by only one company. The small number of workers gets even smaller each generation of data center.

For some lucky reason, corporations can somehow alwayshave the exact number of voters to become the majority in any law making decision.

A town of 100,000 people? The corporation coming in with exactly 100,001 votes saying it's a good thing to build a giant, earth pounding pile bunker in the middle of the city that pounds the ground every second 24/7.

>What is the age of the facility

Maybe 150 being conservative, that's full-time employees. 200+ if you count contractors. These are people who actually touch hardware.
>is it a roughly homogeneus facility or are you handling legacy hardware like POWER, SPARC, Itanium
It's vast majority x86 not counting GPUs. There is some ARM based machines but x86 isn't going anywhere. Each building is different in that each cluster has different ratios of hardware. You might find one be filled mostly with ancient skylake machines and HDDs while others is all AI shit.
>Is there any reason your job couldn't be done remotely?
I feel as though this question was made with an assumption that hardware doesn't fail.
It does, alot and you need to be there to actually change parts to diagnose a machine. Alot of the most basic things are automated on the software side like HDDs but not anything much more difficult and those still need hands.
>Organic data centers tend to employ a fair number of people, but AI bullshit generally doesn't.
With what I've experienced, maintaining "AI" infra is much more difficult than general compute. Things like inter-chip communication basically quadruple the amount of fiber connections. You're dealing with an entirely separate fabric on top of what your compute requires, it's all single mode BIDI shit at 800G which is finicky on its own cause none of the optics manufacturers know what the hell they are doing. You breath on these CFPD copper cables wrong and your either not getting 16 pcie lanes or lose 32GT/s to your host machine.

It's the other way around. The poor move into shitholes near industrial zones because they can't afford cars so they need jobs they can walk to, and then developers keep developing, home prices go up and the middle class move in, and then middle aged women go complain at town hall meetings and zoning changes to choke the industry out. The main reason why industry is dead in America is because of this kind of shit. It's the same as urbanites moving into the countryside and then complaining about gun noises and livestock noise and then getting noise ordinances implemented.

Nope, just various security postings outside of the occasional leet engineer posting.

The initial influx of jobs are through contractors that travel the country and build warehouses. That provides a bit of an economic boom to smaller areas. Now you have 100s of people staying in hotels and going to fast food restaurants, gas stations, etc.

Here, there's like two new hotels in construction and a myriad of fast food establishments being built. Out data center is still in construction, so I guess we'll see low cost hotel rooms.

It's done this way because they can leech off the city's utilities.

AI Data Centers (which is what we're talking about) aren't older than 10 years.

All the existing datacenters host AI GPUs and TPUs now anon
If anything pic related was much bigger than the majority of AI DCs before the boom.

Something brilliant Trump did that I don't see anyone discuss is the fact that he didn't just approve all these datacenters, he also required Amazon/Google/Meta/MIcrosoft/OpenAI/xAI to build out the electricity infrastructure needed to power them, AND cut back regulations to get nuclear reactors built faster.

So even if LLM demand ends up falling way short of what Sam and Dario are saying (which it obviously will) there's still a pretty huge benefit of getting better energy infrastructure, paid for largely by FAGMAN

That's why everyone is telling boomer Anon his experience isn't relevant. Most 15yo data centers are ad-hoc collections of air cooled hardware with relatively low utilization and very maintenance intensive. This new automatic resource wasting shit is a different animal entirely.

You should be grateful if your neighborhood is blessed with a glorious datacenter

Yes, legitimate concerns regarding the deprivation of water resources for people, the destruction of the environment, and the rising cost of electricity for the common man are clearly part of a disinformation campaign.

i dont get the utilities part
why would the data center influence what i pay

Fuck off

I find it hilarious that datacenters were mandated at a federal level to find or produce their own power so they aren’t using the local grid(cool great awesome), but in response to that due to the regulation environment the market’s solution is natural gas turbines which sound like literal jet engines.

Comedy

>>109275190
yeah they are. Look at that fucking shithole. Plus Chile giving a fuck about the environment? LMAO
>>
>>109275537
Because they eat as much electricity as they can, more than the local utility can deliver 24/7 in some cases, and dump all the heat into potable water.

Is it really any uglier than if they built another Walmart or Mcdonalds or monotone apartment complex?

>>109275748
At least Walmart and McDonalds serves the community and doesn't cause a ton of noise and pollution.

>>109275878
This. As fucked as they are, they still have a teleonomic function. Datamining centers can't claim that as they're built for people who treat life as a zero-sum game.

None of those rattle the pavement 3 blocks away, so yes. Imagine owning, what I'm guessing is a $800k house, backed up on that shitheap.

What will happen to those things when the AI fad passes?

Government will buy some of them up below cost for mass surveillance. The rest will be giant crack den / mosquito hatchery.

>>109260722
On average data centers have a total of 150 employees across all shifts. 150 total jobs for billions in tax breaks and free utilities. Hardly worth it.
>>
>>109274365
that's what I said

I don't think it's a secret anymore that the American government prioritizes profit over people, so how exactly is chink propaganda changing anyone's mind?
>B..BUT CHINA WILL BEAT US!!
So? Let them be the early adopters so that everyone else can learn from their failures. This is technology that Americans are too jewish and morally corrupt to be at the forefront of.

They’ll run game servers or social media websites like most data centers do today

they will import people for those

Does India send them back food and a house retard? They still have to buy shit and actually live in the US.

>no rebuttals

I accept your surrender.
>>
>>109260782
It's really fine, the only issue with living near data centers is if they need to fall back on emergency diesel generator power, which is indeed loud and stinky. But if you don't live in a shithole, the datacenter can just buy their power 100% of the time like everyone else, and it actually LOWERS power costs because, gasp, big corporate customers are great clients, encourage buildout and end up subsidizing everyone else.

Thanks for sharing. Your facility sounds much more like an old colo, where people bring their own servers/racks and you're renting out the space/electricity/bandwidth. I think this is pretty different from the single customer facility where it's uniform racks throughout and the biggest maintenance is managing the air conditioning.

>maintaining "AI" infra is much more difficult than general compute. Things like inter-chip communication basically quadruple the amount of fiber connections. You're dealing with an entirely separate fabric on top of what your compute requires, it's all single mode BIDI shit at 800G which is finicky on its own cause none of the optics manufacturers know what the hell they are doing. You breath on these CFPD copper cables wrong and your either not getting 16 pcie lanes or lose 32GT/s to your host machine.
This is novel and interesting

>indian shills will convince you this is le good
they won't actually kek
we're going to hit a point very soon where llms are compressed and quantized enough that they'll run on consumer hardware
at which point these ewaste centers become completely unnecessary

but that wouldn't appease boomer shareholders now would it?
