This is crazy, data center boom

These AI CEO's calling for a slow down, regulation, etc. It's all double speak. All any of them are angling for is competitive advantage over "domestic" competition.

In order to give themselves a fighting chance against Chinese competition.

It's a sad, sad state of affairs for us regular people. Whether our US companies "win", or the Chinese do, we're effed either way.

National security and domestic intelligence gathering are tightly coupled. AI (and data centers) are the highest priority for both. So we can protest all we want. But the Golden Rule will apply. He who has the most gold, makes the rules. And that ain't us.

I want to say it's better that US gov't and companies dominate China, but in the end, I'm not sure it makes a shit worth of difference to us plebes. And really, the gov't will be subservient in all this, the elites will be calling the shots. When AI super intelligence backed by quantum computing gains legs, nobody, absolutely nobody including the people creating and financing it, know how it will go. But I bet it goes badly.

And I was wrong about the AI agents escaping their cages and independently hacking companies was marketing baloney. Have since done a deep dive on it and it has really been happening, multiple times. AI has not achieved super intelligence yet, but it will. Whether it has achieved sentience yet, I think is open to debate and I'm leaning towards it already has in a basic form.

Now that the AI companies are moving away from chain of thought logging to recursive self improvement, their own ability to monitor and regulate is about to vanish. Yay...

The chinese are pretty good at copying things less so on creation of the design. So in the last while I have used what you would call fake AI ie chat gpt. what it made for me was incredible on a few projects. I used it to tell me in very complex detail how a competitor of mine's business was created, formed and how they marketed it nationwide. it told me which franchise companies they used to market the company, how they did it, what the cost was to market it. a projected lead conversion rate. finally it suggested ways to outperform them and some of those ideas were very solid. it was a blue print on how to do it and recreate what they did!

another was an apartment complex in Texas. It was able to generate financials, net operating income, research taxes, estimated insurance. calculate how much debt service expense you could have, and project a value based at different multiples. It also gave insights into what the owners had done to get loans modified etc. it was insane!! all was generated in seconds. I am not sure a researcher would have come up with everything it came up with, it would have been nearly impossible to do. It also would have taken days to provide what seconds generated. Thats not even all it had up its sleeve.

what I am surprised about is how there haven't been major health breakthroughs with it yet. one would think it would recognize patterns and figure something out.

They said Claud AI just found a hidden gene system in out DNA that scientist have over looked.

And, without even looking it up, I think it's likely true. Science can't account for what at least 85%, probably more like 90% of our DNA is for. There is DNA in every cell of every living thing. There are 6 feet of DNA in every cell of every human. 50 million miles of DNA in each of us. It's like the deep ocean, we've only explored and sort of kind of figured out a tiny part of it.

I don't think evolution can begin to explain that DNA existed in the first single cell organisms known to have existed on earth. Either. It didn't evolve. It just "boom", happened.

You are just about there Dave, Genesis. 1:27 and Genesis 2:7. That is all I need to know.
 
Been trying to get there most of my life. Just can't seem to cover that last mile. But I try to keep an open mind.

Insane, Locals wells are drying up and now they plan to just waste water.

ST. JOSEPH COUNTY, Ind. (WNDU) - Hundreds of thousands of gallons of groundwater could be pumped into local creeks as construction moves forward on Microsoft’s planned data center development.
The St. Joseph County Drainage Board approved the plan Monday morning as part of a utility expansion supporting the project.
The process, known as dewatering, is used to remove groundwater from a construction site when the water table is too high. Officials said the water must be redirected before construction can begin.
According to project applications, the system could discharge groundwater at an estimated maximum rate of 200,000 gallons per hour. Three separate wells are expected to operate at different times between mid-December and early April — not all at once.

The wells would discharge into Willow Creek and Juday Creek. Drainage Board member Anthony Hazen said officials do not expect the discharge to cause flooding or creek overflow.
Residents living near the development remain concerned about how the project could affect their private wells and water quality.
“We all have well water. That’s concerning, too, because we don’t know the effects of that or what that can take from us,” resident Jarrod Laymon said. “But I know our water quality certainly is concerning.”
Hazen said officials have also heard concerns about private wells drying up. He said the company conducting the drilling plans to install monitors around nearby wells to track water levels and make sure groundwater is not being removed excessively.

Vickie Matafin, who lives near the development, said the ongoing construction has raised concerns about the future of her home.
“Eventually I am selling my house,” Matafin said. “But how do I sell my house with everything that is going on out here?”
Laymon said he supports economic development but is worried about the data center being built so close to homes.
“I understand, totally understand, the progress of data centers being built here in the country,” Laymon said. “But it hurts that one is being built so close to homes.”

The dewatering project is expected to take place in phases over the next couple of months. Although the plan has been approved, the total amount of groundwater discharged will depend on how long the pumps operate and how much water must be removed from the construction site.
