"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

That's (mostly) not because of data centres, but (mostly) because of the increase in the international price of oil and gas due to the war in Ukraine. You can look at other countries and see that their electricity prices have risen over the same period.

You're probably not wrong.

Still, I doubt the rise of AI and the requisite data centers are going to help.
