Good question. I have known many people on the spectrum in my life including several close family members and loving spreadsheets is not something I would attribute to any of them.
Loving spreadsheets isn’t something everyone with ASD loves, and I didn’t mean to imply that, just the hyper-fixated interest (8 hours) on a something which I personally happen to love.
B.3. Highly restricted, fixated interests that are abnormal in intensity or focus (e.g., strong attachment to or preoccupation with unusual objects, excessively circumscribed or perseverative interests).
Excel is a highly structured environment that follows strict rules and procedures to generate outcomes, often sorting and making sense of “messy” inputs. Prime candidate for an ASD hobby/obsession.
They say we have about 20 years to get to net zero, or face irreversible consequences, increasing exponentially to what is potentially species ending event.
let’s say we achieved nuclear fusion TOMORROW - solving all the planet’s energy need need immediately and forever.
Capitalism means we would be FORCED to drip feed the technology, because plentiful energy cheaper than water would crash the world economy.
I like the Impact font one the best. Makes it more old school. Someone should make a motivational poster of this because we clearly don’t have enough of this meme.
I don’t think any data centers would be using ground water for cooling. They’d likely be on closed loop systems. And the power draw is only an issue if we decide to not fix where the grid gets its power from.
Of course the power draw is an issue. There’s no 100% clean energy and our grid is still not 100% renewable. If we continue expanding the energy use in frivolous projects, we’re barely moving the needle. We want to do both, reduce energy use and clean up the grid.
There is absolutely no stretch of the imagination that could define AI generated waifu masturbation fuel as anything but frivolous. Comparing that to the LHC, which has advanced our understanding of physics, is both insulting and deeply unserious.
I don’t recall making a direct comparison. In fact people said the same thing about the LHC. It is literally impossible to no what the future will bring.
There is no future in which generating scantily clad anime waifus will be comparable to progressing our understanding of physics, even if you dance around it.
Where you’re getting the waifu shit from is beyond me, but if you can’t see past that then we have little to discuss.
All I am saying is we literally have no idea where any of this tech will lead. It could lead nowhere it could lead to breakthroughs in other areas. Anybody that pretends to know, is lying or being disingenuous.
I think they mainly use evaporative cooling systems. Industrial sites often have closed loop cooling systems for equipment and large cooling towers to control the air temperature in large buildings. It probably depends on geographic location. Evaporative cooling is much more effective in areas with low humidity.
No, because there are already locations in the world where clean grids exist. Focusing on AI use as an environmental problem is not helpful. Focus on the source of the energy, not it’s uses.
If you place a data center in a 100% green location, then you’re reducing the supply of 100% energy, so everything else has to consume less green energy. Therefore, by using 100% green energy you just increased your carbon footprint.
Green energy, like all resources, is limited. If you waste it on a glorified food predictor you can’t use it on a electric harvester that will feed the people.
Even if you want to avoid this problem and create your own green power plant for your own data center (creating the green supply and demand at the same time), you are still spending green energy resources (rare metals and manufacturing capacity) that went into creating your powerplant instead of creating a powerplant for electric harvesters.
There’s no way around it. Misusing electricity is accelerating climate change, one way or another. Even if the energy you are misusing is 100% green.
There wouldn’t be all the crevices we have now, though. Plus, I feel like a soft surface would hold on to scraps less tightly. Hell, you’d probably be fine using just mouthwash.
