And I struggle to even understand what the purpose of a so-called data center is other than yet another buzzword to throw around in boardrooms.

Many times over! X, Meta, Google, Amazon, Apple, OpenAI, .... EVERYONE. (that we know of!!!!! )

The latest push is to grab every single medical record (now stored in silos -- providers --- and protected by HIPAA) on earth.

My prediction at this point is that massive LLM databases will all produce similar results, give or take bias (as in Musk pushing porn and child exploitation) and that part will commoditize as in "This shit comes free when you buy a phone" (Ask Apple about this).

Any focused verticals, such as medical or engineering may thrive, though without proprietary and private data, I wonder.

What do they provide? I don’t get the verb here.

Trouble is (IMO) they always look backwards, to data that is already collected, and are programmed to reinforce the user's point of view (such as suicide, it turns out rather sadly).

LLM's (large language models) lack foresight, though I suppose they have it if they ingest science-fiction, which turns out to be true, many years after it was written.

IMO, this can have really negative effects, and maybe a positive one or two.



Around dinner time for Kanamits.

More bang for the buck. What’s that cost? Around five billion a year for all the sop those thirsty minds can soak.

Infinitely adaptable and they are powered mainly by sugar and stimulating environments. That’s just me. These people have crypto, so they must know what they are doing. Right?

Collaboration, essential to success in work and life, is "cheating"

There is only ONE correct answer or means, whereas the perl motto is TMTOWTDI

There's more than one way to do it.

Authoritarianism.

Offbeat ideas (we call them creativity, genius and entrepreneurism) are BANNED.

And since I went to school, iron fences and gates. Preparation for prison.

Walter F. Hendricks (1) was creating colleges, not megachurch celebs.

Big Brother (2) was a kiddie show personality, not the government iron ruler.

if it wasn't for the fact that tech bros pushing them want to publicize the costs, but privatize the profits (if any).
They are asking ordinary folks to give up access to water and electricity to run these monster centers that take up more space than the original main frame computers of the early 1960's.

We used to think that main frames that took up part of the wing of a building were huge, but they were nothing compared to this bigger is better mindset these tech bros seem to have.

We really have a chance to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory on this issue.

I'd call party HQ but they are attacking the shrimp cocktail. (ON ICE)
