I feel like a fucking moron for listening to them saying to turn stuff off when I don’t use it all my life, like turning off lights, to conserve electricity. A lifetime worth of conservation is probably worth seconds of electricity for this “AI” trash.
Never feel like a moron for doing better than others
Just wait til the next freeze when AI literally kills people by taking all the electricity.
God I hate Florida but at least we’re not quite Texas yet.
In Texas, we kill people with a collapsing electrical grid and by sticking children out in the middle of a flood plain during a flash flood.
In Florida, we kill people with storm surges and sinkholes.
Two different flavors of social murder, but by god they taste great together.

The Abilene Stargate campus will reportedly use a closed-loop, non-evaporative liquid cooling system that requires an initial refill of around 1 million gallons of water, with “minor” maintenance refills. Cook is skeptical that such closed-loop systems will use as little water as they suggest. It’s not possible, Cook says, to use the same water over and over again, recycled infinitely, to cool servers.
“Everything always gets warmer. There’s always some amount of energy lost,” Cook said. “So it would be impossible for you to constantly be able to use the same water and still get the cooling potential that you’re getting now.”
Yikes. Talk about a fundamental lack of knowledge and understanding how heating/cooling works. So this is a complete nothing-Burger for that “Stargate” Datacenter.
Cook sounds like a moron. Obviously the waste heat is dumped later in the cycle. But the water can still be a closed system.
