News OpenAI follows Elon Musk’s lead — gas turbines to be deployed at its first Stargate site for additional power

[Admin]

Each gas turbine delivers 34MW, with the 29 units delivering almost 1GW.

Are they also going to deploy massive battery packs to further smooth out grid demand? I don't care how 'fast' GE claims the turbines can change output, they aren't going to keep up with the sub second fluctuations of banks of GPUs.

I believe that was a very considerate thing xai did for their design... though that seems to get overlooked.

I am soo hoping all these will crash, shareholders will demans heads. Sure, ordinary ppl will get that as well, but will find the way for new jobs. Ai dot com should die in this form. Give that cash to scientists to develop more efficient algorithms and to make use of it to amend real life problems instead of nicer image generation and non hallucinating llm.

I'm with you, but the peons have little to say about things it seems. 🙁

They either think there's a whole ton of money to be made by this (nVidia anyone?), or a whole lot of control. Those are the two factors that drive corporations and governments.

The best interests of humanity tend to come in last.

Well, nvidia does make a ton of money. Hope they use all that to see "terrain ahead, pull up" early enough to turn production knobs down a little bit, or else they will burn as well.

We are being sold a bill of goods with AI. It's massively overhyped. Can it be useful in some situations? Sure. Let's not forget or be deceived. AI is just an algorithm coupled with a big dataset, which is used to craft responses. People mistake real human intelligence with the AI illusion of intelligence.

The world really doesn't need AI, and certainly doesn't need the massive power usage that comes with it. You know who does need it? All the corporations who are making billions of it by convincing all the other corporations they need it!

That. There. 😞

Someday, someone is going to throw the big red switch on the newest A.I. data center and the entire planet will go up in a puff of illogic. Converted "marine turbines" be damned. 🤦🤷
