Really, you don't see any difference between Elon Musk and, say, John Stankey? Is John Stankey actively transforming the US into an autocratic fascist-adjacent state?

Would you buy from a company called Plantations Inc which proudly advertises that all of its products are made by daily-whipped slaves? Are there no limits to how self-focused you are in your consumption?

It's one thing to say "this particular issue isn't mine, so I'm only going to think amount myself". It's an entirely different issue to have no moral bounds.

This headline sounds like something you'd hear coming from a news report on a TV in the background near the start of a horror movie.

"I've been jabbed so many times I glow in the dark, and get five bars of 5G in a coal mine" - Cory Doctorow

Got it - if us leftists are the majority here, you're post is virtue signaling for stupid racist pedophiles.

Sorry, but I think you don't understand the difference between authentication and authorization.

Free the particle!

Interesting how you could get so *many* things wrong. Remember when the US had a civil war, after Manson and his family did the murders?

Yeah, neither do I. You're claiming no one in the Middle East has *any* reason to hate Israel, other than the propaganda by Iran.
We'll ignore what the Palestinian I was working with up to 2019, who called... I think it was Gaza, not the West Bank, an open air prison, with checkpoints by the IDF everywhere.

Oh, and the Sunnis (esp. the Wahabis, who were the ones who helped with 9/11) all love Shi'ites.

I could go on, but I'll end with noting that all of my grandparents were Jewish.

The problem is not overall capacity. It's that they're all crowding into the same areas. Most places in the US (let alone the world) have nobody building datacentres anywhere near them. They all want to go into the places with not merely cheap power, but cheap property taxes and other incentives. Some places will tax everything, down to the servers themselves, whereas some will only tax the land and the building shell, not even the power interconnects or cooling systems.

When everyone wants to rush into the same place, it overtaxes the local grid; they have to build not just more generation, but power lines, substations, etc. And all of this has to go through permitting. There's no real limit to how much generation can be built, but none of the datacentre operations want to wait, because they're all worried about missing out on the opportunity. Hence the reason that they try to come up with stopgaps, like installing their own generators, or... this approach.

ECL MV1 / Lambda is 3,5 miles from the Googleplex. And 10-12 miles further to the southeast, Santa Clara is one of the densest datacentre hubs on Earth.

If you care about where they actually live, and distances to datacentres:

Sundar Pichai: Los Altos Hills, CA: ECL MV1 / Lambda (Mountain View), 5-6mi; Santa Clara Data Center Hub (CoreSite SV9, Vantage, Colovore), 9-11 miles

Larry Page: Palo Alto, Ca: ECL MV1 / Lambda (Mountain View), 4-5mi; Santa Clara Data Center Hub, 10-12mi.

Sergey Brin: Los Altos Hills / Bay Area: ECL MV1 / Lambda (Mountain View), 5-7mi; Santa Clara Data Center Hub, 9-12mi

Demis Hassabis (Google DeepMind CEO): North London, UK: London Docklands Hub (Telehouse / Equinix), 7-9mi; Slough Data Center Hub (Equinix, Yondr), 18-20mi

I don't know about you, but they're all way closer to datacentres than I am.

a) Che was murdered by the local government, with help torturing him provided by the CIA.
b) Well, given that the US was setting up and supporting nasty dictators, yes, I do want him to win.

Not. Saw a video a while ago of some who built a microwave weapons, and tested it on themselves. An aluminum-covered version of Captain America's shield worked just fine. And, IIRC, a concave one shorted out the weapon itself.

I propose a military grade AI-run robot check YOU out, for pre-crime.

And I assume, from your post, that you masturbated to read about the 167 girls going to school in Iran who were murdered due to AI intel.

You ignorant racist funnymentalist PoS - "overrun"? By what, the 1.5/1.6% of Americans who are Muslims?

The reading comprehension fail is you failing when reading the GP. They were talking about Falcon 9 replacements being two decades behind. The implication was that nobody will catch up to Starship any time soon.
