"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
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.

That graph is not accurate: it more says "some countries are bigger", and also doesn't count size of DCs nor how they're cooled. BTU, square meters, and how much evaporative cooling BTUs per capita are the numbers that matter.
This graph shows none of that. Yes, America would still be way out of whack, but we can show that with an actual comparison instead of this lazy journalism.
