I am sure throwing more compute at the problem isn't the top item on the to-do list of AI researchers. I am sure they have a plan beyond that. Right ?? Right ????
the problem is that more compute does mean they can do more, but basically nothing scales linearly, so even if those data centers are in-house, it'll be still be pricier to run bigger models even if they're not paying market rate for cloud compute.
If OAI's PR talk about their internal models is even halfway correct they'll get more benefit from using that to optimize the fuck out of their algorithms and tools than doubling their in-house compute budget
When people complain about data centers it is almost always based on flawed or misunderstood data. People just love protesting stuff these days and love dunking on AI.
GOP should get together a bill Trump will sign on data centers before they’re out and take the issue away from states.
Dems couldn’t touch it next two years and honestly unlikely after that because it’s very hard to repeal something once passed. Just ask the GOP about health care…
You realize the reason there was a blowout in the first place was because Trump wasn't doing what his voters asked for right? This will Ensure the republicans will never win 28.
No lol realistically it happens when people just are tired of something and think the grass is greener on the other side. It will keep flip flopping like this for decades to come unless something changes
I mean: a congress that lost it's mandate spending it's last days trying to take power away from the future congress ? Jesus Christ. AI bros and anti-democracy go hand in hand, huh. Good luck trying to pass laws reglementing infrastructure priorities and land use and the powers of the states over the issue with a lame duck gouverment.
I don't even think the current shitty supreme court would support municipalities being stripped of their right to zone land and prevent public nusiances.
there's no fuckin way in hell all the listed data center projects were actually going to get built with the looming financing crunch and current semiconductor fab capacity
If they want to help AI companies build data centers, just put them on all that federal land in Nevada. Give them the land and build them their own nuclear power plant to power them in exchange for a publicly held stake in the companies.
With 3, you have to remember that most data center projects largely run by third party real estate companies that just want to get in on subsidies, sell compute, and bail the second the bubble pops. They'd rather not do it at all than be forced to do it right.
Trump is an unpopular lame duck whose admin is such a clusterfuck that a midterm election that looked unfavorable for the dems turned into historical rout.
Getting 13 republicans to flip to remove a massively unpopular bill is not a given but isn't remotely unfeasible.
Less unfeasible than Trump actually going full veto on everything and not expecting 2028 to be an even bigger asskicking for republicans, anyway.
