So what do you want them to do, then? Because I don't like it either, but they're right about their core tenet, which is that if they don't do it, someone else is going to. Even if we ignore the obvious other player in OpenAI

It's really annoying. Honestly I'm impressed how quickly one becomes able to smell it after seeing enough of it, I feel like a year or two ago everyone thought LLM bots would be forever indistinguishable from real users (and in

Right, makes sense, if they just spent a bunch of money they could answer all of those "political, social, economical, moral questions". All of these unprecedented sociological and labor market changes flying towards us are trivia

Sure, I think they're neat. I've been inside a few smaller ones but not any true modern hyperscaler style ones. They're big buildings with cool security systems, power setups, HVAC setups. It'd be fun to see inside. Noth

I don't disagree, and I've heard this said a bunch, but to some degree it feels like cope. Writing code wasn't generally the barrier to success, but it was still a barrier. And for sure, it's not gone entirely, but in

I genuinely think it was a big loss to our society that we stopped regularly doing this. I had a few such field trips in grade school, but nothing comparable to a factory or nuclear plant. It's a combination of post-9/11 security

It's not really too complicated, iirc. They already generally have visitor processes set up for customers and prospective customers. The servers themselves are in cages, of course, and presumably the tour wouldn't actually go into

You know, you joke (I think?) but data center companies could genuinely at least open up for tours to try to appeal to the public, if public approval is apparently such a concern. It's funny that they haven't done it at all yet.

This isn't a bad article by any means, but if I'm being honest, it's kind of embodying the "has philosophy ever actually answered any question" meme. The author spends several pages complaining about how the evil

Just wanted to say I loved this article. In a way it didn't say anything "new", and yet all the anecdotes were spot on and I really liked the writing style.

Maybe you misinterpreted the post you replied to? I don't think they were saying this stuff is a crazy proposal, just that it will be a different way of life for most Americans. No need to be so abrasive.

Not all of us have cell plans with hotspots ($$$), hotspots often have data caps, cell is often slower or congested, and there are some areas without cell signal. It's also kind of silly from a wider perspective to shove everyone onto

There's a bit of clutter for sure, but I don't find it too objectionable. As the sibling comment mentioned, the super reacts are really annoying, and so are the ads, but it's overall alright.
