    Okay, I agree, but you can’t tell me some server rooms don’t look cool af.

      That is correct, I have worked in a server room that has glass floor panels with gamer lighting under them, mood lighting in the ceiling and a huge viewing window in the wall to the rest of the office.

      It looked damn cool.

      XANA also almost caused a nuclear power plant to explode. I think that would also be considered climate destruction.

    The computer itself? Safe! The dangerous AI XANA? Absolutely would destroy the climate. Literally was overcharging a power cylinder thing in order to send a powerful enough charge to a nuclear power plant in order to cause nuclear fallout in one episode.

    The left image looks like an old Cray computer. Could be an interesting indicator of the age of the image or the artist who made it.

      Cray (the company) often had interesting designs that probably ended up influencing a lot of sci-fi. CDC (control data corporation) had interesting designs as well, prior to that, and Cray (the person) worked there before founding his own company.

      One other supercomputer line with iconic looks is Connection Machines which are IMO some of the coolest looking computers ever made.

      AI companies are completely unable to afford to keep running, and I’d be incredibly surprised if they’re still seriously around in 2028

    They are going to be powered by small modular reactors, though. So I guess there’s one extra box you can tick.

    This is … Incredibly dumb.

    The whole climate impact of AI is overstated a million times over. You can run a perfectly capable, GPT 4o destroying LLM on your own GPU right now. What is the difference between jonkling to vidya gaems or running an LLM for doing something productive for a fucking change?

    The servers running the network you posted this shit over , the servers used to develop your favorite Gacha coom game, the servers used to deliver your shit ass Xitter feed, or your Netflix garbage, use more power than AI and LLMs are actually actively more productive than that shit

      You can run a fully fletched LLM at home but you can’t train the model. The latter is a huge contributor to power consumption. Running it is peanuts in comparison.
