There are a few other reasons to stop building data centers.


Yeah, I’d guess most of these systems have single purpose computers with a screen that updates every second. There’s not much need to replace 100, 1MHz, computers with a server sending data to 100 ipads, updating every second with pretty colors. Plus I’d say familiarity for the controller is 1000x more important than anything else.
I sometimes think about how annoying a full moon would be if it’s albedo was .3 like earth’s.


Look at Mr. “100 IQ” over here
I’d rather see the back legs than have AI edit them out


I suppose it would be good for a large number of mostly idle services. Nextcloud, home assistant, a few other containers. Things that don’t do much except for brief periods, but still need to be running. Add in a zfs or btrfs filesystem and some of those operations will use a lot of ram.
I certainty wouldn’t go that route, I’ve found that 2-4GB in an SBC more than meets the purposes I use them for. I also don’t think I’m willing to run off a microsd anymore now that I’ve discovered emmc and ufs boards.


This isn’t necessarily true. You can have your AI machine doing other things or turn it off when you aren’t using it. It could probably increase efficiency if people were affected by how much energy it uses to write their emails, they might only use it for when they actually need it.

Buy bonds
(Probably not US bonds)


And fund its conservation until it reaches an equivalent state to before it was clearcut.


Replant the area and fund maintenance and custodianship until the forest reaches the state it was in before they clear-cut it. As well as conservation efforts to protect the surrounding areas until that point is reached.


Only from this specific exploit
Did you miss that google illegally clearcut 250,000 trees for a data center, or that they use tons of water and power and they’re building them in deserts. Or that they’re an absolute nuisance for miles around them?
