Exactly. If I modified my water meter to hide my usage, or tapped my neighbor’s pipes, I’d go to jail. This data center needs to be shut down and the owners investigated and charged with felonies.

Yeah, but you see you're not cooling millions of dollars of GPUs so someone can make AI generated tits or cheat on homework. That's a public service!

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.
