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.

MODERATORS
Meanwhile a small city ~20 minutes from me in Wisconsin approved and is currently building the biggest data center I've ever seen in person. :(
Whatever you do, don’t pour sugar in the cement.
Also, a PSA: datacenter electrical substation transformers make really shitty backstops for your target shooting and plinking. While they look substantial, they're actually very bad at stopping bullets and will be irreversibly damaged in the process, taking the entire datacenter offline until time-consuming and expensive repairs can be made, so you should avoid using datacenter electric substations as a shooting range, especially if you're firing mid to high-power rifles.

Hrmmmmm we should definitely not do that. Hrmmmmmm
Edit: HRMMMMMMMM I bet a salt spreader would work with sugar
You need the sugar in before it is mixed, I would think. Otherwise a solid fertilizer spreader would be faster, and I KNOW Wisconsin has those sitting around.
Brother have we got manure
