It doesn’t take that much energy and power to run an LLM or an image generator, and sure, it would take a lot with so many users connecting, across so many servers… but there’s just no way they’re not mining bitcoin. My math might not be mathing but it seems like AI doesn’t justify the power use and it seems like everybody’s lying.
Someone who knows more about this inform me of your opinions
If you have seen any videos of people visiting these data centers, you can hear the incredibly loud fans that make it difficult to hear the presenter speaking.
Thats true of all datacenters though, not just AI. 1RU fans are just crazy noisy.
Yeah it’s really noisy and hot when you mine bitcoin and distract everyone by reading their emails, great distraction actually, kudos
