it's heading to a bubble and then a crash
Use an efficient file server and you can reduce the footprint! I can help!
You are way behind realizing what is actually going on. We are 5 US Patents deep in this. The founders of Four electrons LLC were doing math and writing Fortune 50 C-suite papers on this in 2014. There's a chemical reaction that defines the system requirement to support the energy levels, and it is not just the Datacenter in IoT. The cloud, and edge of the cloud are also consumers of resources.
Spending billions to create infrastructure that will ultimately reduce a work force which is expected to foot the power bill? Huh?
Hank Green - Does this change your take on AI and resource use? I'm curious.
Gordon Anderson CEng MIET The subsidy through infrastructure.
Sonia Felix perhaps the AI answer will be something you already know and will not like.
Francis E. I think we may be a little way off from this. Unless theses data centres will be completely unmanned I’m unsure Mr Bezos has taken into account the human factor, an engineer has a family emergency and needs to get home. Or maybe an agonising wisdom tooth which requires treatment? The training of engineers to become astronauts, returning from rotation and performing a MIR space station style docking procedure when it’s challenging enough to get an engineer who lives in Italy to Northen Sweden. But your comment has fired my imagination, thank you.
Unless we embrace energy use and make it cheaper per capita in the UK, we shall inevitably fall behind other nations technologically. The lack of vision from our current leaders is breath-taking: choosing to limit power consumption instead of promoting a healthy environment for hi tech business. We need vision in government and more nuclear power for base load without destroying the planet.
Ari Booth, MHRER, SHRM-SCP I like this framework- but why the sudden boom for Quantum? same use case, or has it been modified?
Pragya Jain - thought of you!
The answer is, and always has been, clean nuclear power. Too bad that we abandoned it for decades. We might not be in the climate mess we are now.
It's 'maths'
Honestly, the part that stood out to me wasn’t how much energy a single AI query uses. It was the reminder that AI is no longer just a software conversation. It’s becoming an infrastructure conversation. The more capable these systems get, the more important energy, compute, and data centers become.
This is because the EROEI (Energy Return on Energy Invested) calculations aren't being done with clearly defined system boundaries. And they don't want them to be done, because they know that Data Centers are energy losers.
Oh yeah, it's bad. Kill more trees to build data centers so that people can elf themselves. Or whatever they do with AI that is a complete waste of time and narcissistic indulgence.
These data centers should be looking at Rebellions.ai as a source of AI systems that use up to 30% less energy than NVIDIA GPUs.
Melissa Bada 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 preach! The AI productivity fad never made sense to me when considered at-scale. People are finding out too late “tokens” and AI are just yet another pay for play tech. They were sold on the eye candy but didn’t look under the hood.
beyond pushes and pulls of stacking scatters...
Jeffrey Baldwin nuclear kills the least amount of people per unit of energy produced across all sources be it exposure to process, resource extraction, construction or accidents. It half the rate of death by wind and solar.
