I have an old surplus QNAP. I love it. Very capable, easy to setup, easy to use it and forget about it. Mine is set up for RAID5.

Be certain to get a reliable UPS for it. And have a spare drive on hand.

This is a plot point in Neuromancer. The AI recruits the Rastafarians by playing a “righteous dub”.

I dunno. Producing the heads of the agents along with DNA tests linking them to American family members would go a long way towards proving the Venezuelan version.

It can be advertised as “cruelty free”. As in “No humans were coerced into doing these acts.”

Is this … about the “pee tape”? An attempt to make it look like a nothingburger? To innoculate the public against the outcry that would happen if it was released? “Look, you all laughed at it when I shit from a fighter, this pee thing is boring next to that”.

The first wave of displacement was licensing - all those car commercials with Springsteen tunes.

My brother used to do this in the 90s. No, but he was always writing and playing something.

It’s good that you think about this stuff. It is a sign of an inquisitive mind. And you are so close to the truth.

But… You literally have the ability to look this stuff up in seconds.

They have a huge contract with CoreWeave.

This makes me think of the movie “Brazil”.

I know some really damn delusional programmers.

My data center has 35MW of generators onsite. No modern DC is designed nor built without backup generators to allow continuous operation during any utility power outages.

Who is responsible? The SW creator? The trainer? The source of the training data? The hosting data center?

What are the penalties? Who enforces this? Who investigates?

Does that include systems used for “correlation science”? Things like “people that are left-handed and eat sardines are more likely to develop eyebrow cancer”. Also genetic correlations for odd things like musical talent?

Edit: in other words, searches that look for correlations in hundreds of thousands of parameters.

Is there a specific name? Or just “non-LLM ML systems”?

What would you call systems that are used for discovery of new drugs or treatments? For example, companies using “AI” for Parkinson’s research.

And folks with ARFID.

Now, when a terrorist attack occurs, he’s fully justified in declaring martial law.

It’s as good as over, folks. Checkmate.

Well, I work at an AI hyperscaler. I can tell you how much my facility uses, and how much each rack uses, but don’t have any way to determine what the customer is doing on that server. Or even which servers a given customer is using. Is it being used heavily for queries? How many? Of what kind? We don’t know. Only what the rack/row/pod/hall is consuming.

Also, does the network gear overhead count? How do you apportion that?

We have no visibility into the customer workload. Some of our customers use our systems for scientific research. Drugs, etc. How do you tally that?

I’m not saying that it is impossible, just that if the customer won’t pay for that report, we’re not going to spend money to build the systems to produce it.

Do I agree? No. But I’m just a grunt.

A problem is that the information is not in the hands of the company selling the AI. The actual hardware is often owned by service providers and independent data centers.
