I'm not seeing this at all, and I'm in the industry. The overwhelming majority of the time, the pattern I see is that a CFO sees enough ads and social media hype that he decides to "do AI", and then afterwards there is severe sticker shock and disappointment at what it can and can't do. Even companies like Amazon with a huge vested interest in it are publicly talking about how it isn't really delivering. We've had these tools for a while now, and at a hugely subsidized cost even, so where's all the cool new software? Which companies are getting rich not by fueling the AI bubble at a hardware level, but by using AI and enjoying all these 'great returns'? I haven't seen it yet.

If there were no great returns the market wouldn't push so hard for the creation of data centers.

>>741821483
The great returns are on the part of hardware manufacturers and the big three clouds, and that's who is pushing for it, mostly using infinite free public money and round-trip financing. Actual real life demand from end-users is primarily driven by artificially low prices and hype, both of which are beginning to wither.

>>741821319
and filling ever-increasing amounts of spaces with ads they control, yes.

>>741821595
>both of which are beginning to wither.
Beginning? From where I sit it looks more like it's in its death throes. GPT throttling the fuck out of you, even if you're a paying customer, exorbitant price increases that still don't cover their costs leading to companies rate limiting their employees and a general realisation that AI isn't yet producing productive work, it's just spitting out make work. Slop, you might say.

That is because your company buys into hype instead of actually looking at what AI can do. And then gets upset about it. Regardless of your industry, AI and machine learning are capable of some function. Even for a blue collar worker using a simple AI to fill in their work logs has an ROI in the form of more consistent data collection and less worker time spent on paperwork(one of the lowest value tasks a human worker can perform).

No, we implement things for companies buying into the hype.

>Even for a blue collar worker using a simple AI to fill in their work logs has an ROI
No, it doesn't. You're acting like AI use is free, or that the cost won't dramatically increase in the near future, and you're ignoring the cost of rework. The best AI systems in the world often spit out garbage outputs. What's worse is that they're non-deterministic, and so the exact same worker supplying the exact same input may get a wildly different output from one day to the next, which you can't really build a serious professional process around.

The best use cases for AI aren't that valuable, and nobody would pay true cost for them, and the things they would pay for AI isn't capable of and probably never will be. Even the name "AI" is a misnomer, purposefully used to evoke a Hollywood image of what it can do, inevitably leading to disappointment.

>>741822275
yes AI is a tool that can improve efficiency, but that doesn't make it worth the cost. If Excel had to be sold for 10 million per desk for MS to break even on its cost, nobody would buy it. Thats what AI is, but its being pushed by hype and subsidies

People don't understand that these data centres are only going to be up for a short period of time.

Data centres are primarily for training models. Once those models are trained, they use significantly less power to use. That's why they're going full steam ahead despite people getting more and more pissed off. They know that it's not sustainable, but that's not the point. They want the models trained, that's it.

>>741823195
The data centers are for storing data on citizens.

>>741823195
Anon, once infrastructure is built at great cost, it is unlikely to be abandoned. It will continue as a service that will operate in much the same manner as the infrastructure was originally meant for.

The problem is Carmack sees AI as, effectively, a more user friendly reference and search tool. It increases the productivity of him and those like him. What he doesn't see is all the instances where it is not used like that, and is instead used as if it is actually intelligent and can replace a person; he doesn't see Microsoft vibe coding, and how it actually results in less productivity, or the now thousands of businesses who have seen negative productivity by adopting AI for even, what should be, simple tasks like summarizing documents.

And we don't need massive data centers for making a more user friendly reference and search tool. We can just repurpose existing data centers and properly focus model training for that.

>>741830604

One bad answer does not make the tool useless. It means it is not infallible, just like people and search engines are not infallible. The real test is whether it is useful across writing, coding, summarizing, brainstorming, and problem-solving.

That is an argument for accountability, not a proof that AI is useless. AI companies should not market these systems as infallible or human, and courts are already testing who is responsible when AI-generated output is wrong: Reuters reported that a Munich court held Google liable for false claims in AI Overviews, and Google said it would appeal. But one bad output does not make the whole tool a waste; it means it needs clearer claims, tighter guardrails, and human review where accuracy matters.

data centers take water from the public infrastructucture, poison it with coolant, warm it up and then dump it in sewage. they cause noise pollution which disturbs local wildlife. the generated heat and drought also erodes the nature around them. but we should ignore all of this because now we can create a video of will smith eating spaghetti out of thin air.

I work for a massive fortune 500 company. They're all tech retarded over there, I swear we employ about 100 programmers across the company, it isn't nearly enough to handle the needs of a modern company of this size and it ends with us basically still running on paper in 2026. Seeing it as a once-programmer, it is fucking insane the shit we do manually that a script could handle. And our tech team is so under water that easily fixable glitches that cost us $100,000s a week aren't seen as high priority.

I'm not sure the exact reasons but it's obvious the execs are trying to cope with AI (or prepare for it) because they've been wreaking havoc on all of our tech applications and teams. Massive cuts for things that literally can't be replaced by AI. It's driving me insane because I'm realizing that even if your company isn't replacing things with AI, those things will still be impacted or cut, because financial reports and forecasts compared against an AI company will make it seem like you're spending fuckloads too much on your tech. I'm watching this company that never figured out how a computer works, start to gut their tech capacity, because some other guys did it when they replaced it all with a fucking slightly-smarter chatbot. This shit is going to Dotcom 2.0 America back to the 1840s.

>>741832697

convergence of machine learning and robotics is happening now.

We're less than 5 years from general purpose automotons. Even contrarian shut-ins are not seeing the writing on the wall. They see some cute androids stumbling around and forget Will Smith eating Spaghetti 'test' began barely more than 3, fucking 3, years ago, and think AI hasn't meaningfully improved.

Robotics is in the exact same situation. Meanwhile you are seeing the immediate end of software engineers. Software, this year, has been democratized, little different from image gen.

The only reason this train is going to be slowed is how severely disruptive it is. Namely, people like you don't already realize what can be done and aren't simply using it. Same applies to me. It takes a while to learn we simply do NOT need to do a lot of things ourselves.

Carmack is an idiot savant.
It's a huge mistake to listen to these people on anything other than the one thing they are good at.

>where water is more plentiful
If we placed the data center in a hypothetical flotilla in the sky with a magical straw down to some spot on the ground to take up all the resources it needs, water is already a highly-managed resource. Reservoirs are engineered and maintained to accommodate natural runoff and needs of the users. There really isn't anywhere you can just double the water usage of a body of water without it impacting the other users particularly in the short term without extensive infrastructure investment, which means higher taxes because our government is fucked and would rather have the business there than make them pay for it themselves.

And that's just water usage. The energy source would still be impacted, increasing costs for everyone on that grid. As you eat up a resource you increase demand, increasing price on the supply/demand equilibrium. Massive energy and hydro sinks can't just be slammed into any ecosystem without affecting the economy, no matter how remote. And the more remote, the more radically it's affected.

My boss literally asked ChatGypsy today at work to make a fucking print out list. A FUCKING PRINT OUT LIST for putting computers under when done.

A fucking five second opening of MS word and typing "put finished PC's here so we can flag them to be put in the system" would've been faster than the hallucinating if/else machine's output (that he STILL had to manually add shit to after the fact).

I like him (mostly because he's hot) but Christ, I really do need AI dudes to use their goddamn brains more.

They aren't though. Of the 7 largest players in the AI business, the only companies with a profit solely from their AI related sectors are Nvidia and Amazon. Nvidia because they're the shovel sellers in the gold rush bubble and Amazon simply because they've been very conservative with AI spending compared to Microsoft and Google, so they just happen to not be miles into the red.

This is one of those utterly worthless feel good bills that don't work in reality. Industrial purchases of power will always get cut rate prices from utilities, it's been like this from the start, long long LONG before AI existed. Those cut rates will ALWAYS come on the back of residential users paying increased prices to upgrade and maintain for the higher grid load. Even if you somehow (won't happen) forced companies to pay equal price for power as a residential user, they'd still be causing the needs for massive upgrades and maintenance changes which would get equally cast onto the residentially user and the datacenter. Always roads lead to families paying way more for power

The only way energy cost offsets will ever work is a legal mandate that the data center must locally GENERATE it's own power, removing the local grid and utility services from the equation entirely, full stop. However that itself is a slippery slope on par with a shit coated waterslide. That will lead to companies polluting residential areas at 1930s tier smog with gas generators or just massive soil contamination when they inevitably cut corners on their building and maintaining solar arrays, etc. Which means you'd also need to sequester datacenters away from population centers as well to actually maintain a system where a datacenter can't worsen the lives of local residents in some way.

>Because I don't think we should build nuclear either.
Why not? There's really no good logical reason we don't go all in on Nuclear apart from cost of building the facilities, which would pay themselves back. The gubma doesn't want to build facilities because A) they take so long to build properly that you'll never see vote results from the product you invested in and B) you're fighting against fossil fuel propaganda, who will probably buy you out before you go to bat against them.

>We should badly manage
The US is currently operating 57 nuclear power plants and we haven't built many since three mile island, when the anti-nuclear campaign took root at home and the nuclear movement slowed to a crawl. 0 people died of acute reaction, I don't want to diminish the people who died from extenuating health effects but this wasn't Chernobyl, and this was a by-definition isolated event. Three mile island is our /one/ major nuclear power incident since 1979, with those 57 plants running consistently since that time. We've run nuclear at 57 sites for 47 years without major incident since then.

>>741831427
>I'm pretty sure the US economy is propped up by false promises of AI.
The entire US economy for the past 2 years has been the same fantasy money growth as always but turned up to 11 and being more openly audacious than ever.

Literally, Nvidia takes a stack of $10B and hands it to OpenAI saying "With this investment, we securing the growth of AI services". OpenAI's stock explodes 20% overnight because of this, then OpenAI turns around and hands the $10B money stack back to Nvidia and says "With this investment, we are ensuring future hardware develop and sales for our datacenters that will totally exist by then". Nvidia's stock then explodes up 20% overnight because of this.

Now both companies just increased their market value by like $80B while neither actually spent or earned a single dime in the process, they just temporarily held a single money stack before returning it to its starting point. Now add in Oracle, Amazon, Google, xAI, AMD, Intel and Anthropic into this incestuous web of fake investment and procurement and you have a trillion dollars being generated out of thin air every month while everyone company stays where it started with nothing to show other than the stock gains.

>>741837142
Yeah because it doesn't really matter to them, welcome to corporatism.

>>741836101
If it wasn’t for AI we would have entered a full on recession in 2022. Over 90% of economic growth has been in just in data centers alone since last year.

>>741837348
And that's also why the bubble won't pop any time soon, the collapse is going to be generational, worse than 2008, or 2000 or 1970s by a fucking MILE so the government and everyone involved is going to keep this fucking disaster being fed every penny of money, every word of promises and every line of laws written by congress to keep it going, which ironically just makes the inevitable burst WAY worse as the can kicks down the road over and over and over.

It's also why it's so fucking annoying to watch naive morons sitting there going "I can't wait until you this all pops, then I'll finally be able to upgrade my PC!". Nigger you'll be lucky to have a roof over your fucking head if you work in any non-100% mandatory position in an economic collapse of this scale.

Fucktard, do you think data centers are using gray water or fucking sewage water to cool the centers? No, they're using potable drinking water for which there is a hard limit to the amount a township has the capacity to purify every day. That water that gets used generally comes out as gray water and thus cannot be reused.

As such when half the townships water production gets dumped into running AI help desk agents and fucking automated YouTube comment bots, this drives the cost of water up because now there is an additional burden placed on the treatment plant. More purification chemicals need to be ordered, filters wear out faster, the amount of available water decreases, and the cost of water goes up.

Christ, the sound polution these things make alone is fucking maddening. The fans sound like being 10 feet from the highway, at peak traffic, at all hours, and the air pressure they create feels like standing on a tarmac as a 737's afterburners are kicking in. Its fucking miserable, and is enough to turn the most placated goyttle into Ted Kazynski.

Power directly benefits you or at least your state or larger local area. Data centers may benefit your area for tertiary reasons but they're built for the global market and you're the one tanking any negative effects that come from the infrastructure. A Bangladeshi generating slop code on the other side of the planet gets all the benefit, the money from his subscription goes to the massive corporation, and you get some table scraps like some jobs in your area. Due to the nature of how they work, it's not the same as say opening up a Wal-Mart. At least you can go shop at a Wal-Mart and they'll pave some sidewalk in your neighborhood.
