Why Building AI Data Centres Isn’t Working Anymore

1. Do you live near an AI data center? If so, what's your experience?

   Don't forget to sign up to Revolut at: https://get.revolut.com/z4lF/coldfusion, use your card once, and get AU$40 (or your currency equivalent). T&Cs, end date and min spend apply.

   And as always thanks for watching the video!

2. The first to feel the AI ​​bubble will be chip companies.
   If chip demand remains high, it means there's still a lot of AI server development going on.
   Hopefully Chinese chip companies will be able to compete with Korean and American chip companies when all this A.I. bubble happens.
   technology monopoly is not good for technological development. (just like food/medicine when there is no more competition)

3. Heating up the ocean for data centers is also NOT a solution. Rising ocean temperatures is already an issue

4. 12 Gigawatts?! Great Scott!!

5. This thing is a Death Star to humanity, the environment, and the future. It must be stopped by force.

6. Its been too long and the inventions haven't happened. The return didn't come in AI is an information organization and presentation tool tuned to human receptors, not a technological reprieve

7. I'm far-left, fuck all things AI. The world(people) are becoming increasingly more stupid. This push to AI, will only exponentially increase this, people will stop using their brains. Then… We have more people like Trump in power.

8. Could they be networked together ? Hmm skynet

9. From the get go: Infrastructure.
   
   How can you bring on GW of datacentre if you don't have ready access to power, water, etc?
   
   Power being the main one as seen a lot of these projects are on a go slow purely because of that.

   Example just for compliance to have a power station grid ready.
   Ten years because thorough testing is required not something you can fast-track without MAJOR
   restructuring of the entire process.
   But most of all it needs to be road-tested over time; simulations have limitations.

   Things need to be put through their paces to see if they can get the duty cycle of running 24/7 for as long as is required.

   Whether it can be throttled back if need be due to surplus elsewhere all these things we take for granted and never think twice about.
   Trip events are a big issue, and such facilities try to avoid them like the plague.

   But it's either that or noisey turbines and ICE's doing that work instead.
   Or do we go the route of SMR's oh boy whole different can of worms but same problems, where safety is the main issue.

   Things going wrong happen all the time ones ability to regain and maintain stability is the core issue.

10. Legally require them to be powered only by renewable energy and be air cooled!

11. Face reveal!!

12. I can’t believe I agree with mark cuban 😂 3:16

13. Why don't they build these data centers in cold areas.. cooling is expensive, so put the heat into use.. heat homes, whatever, in winter local municipality could be used as a heatsink/radiator.. nah, let's build in Texas..

14. They will be scenery when we camp under our tarps

15. Interesting fact: that was Bobby Lee from MADTV

    Uh-oh. Hot dog ~

16. the companies are burning money and the CEOs are too stupid to realize that firing everyone and putting all your money into something that won't make your money back is not how you make a profit, the costs are going up to run these things and its actually cheaper to make personal data centers that are comprised of several mini super computers than to construct these massive things that don't help anyone.

17. 2010-2016 was the golden age of the internet

18. Yes more Data centers please. We need a data center every 10 ft apart from each other. Kick out all citizens from their homes, and apartments and build all data centers everywhere and make the taxpayers pay for it being built and pay what it costs to keep it running. We need all data centers everywhere and the only people to have a place to live are the rich people and government officials and employees. All other citizens homeless. Well put them in prison and make them work to pay the bills for the data centers to stay running.

19. Those companies planned a future without us, so let them burn in hell, when they collapse.

20. It is because it is a land grab and away for citizens to own nothing

21. AI is dying because the energy need to feed it is very enormous. The best thing for us to do is to devise those links that link Quantum to those hard core processes. Also those to use photonics and advanced magnonics!

22. The LLM data centers are not easily convertible to other types of more general computing. They are very, very specific and limited in what they can do.

23. I looked forward to the bankruptcies and the GPU fire sales. Oracle stock is down from $230 to $150 since he started building data centers.

24. We’d basically be in a depression right now if it weren’t for the fantasy of AI keeping the dream of a growing economy going. Smoke and mirrors to hide the rot in our economy.

25. Tech companies, notably elon musk, warned us about doomsday resulting from climate change. Now he is the tip of the spear with this push for data centers that use more electricity than entire metro areas! Im glad both republican and democrats are coming together to voice that we dont want these data centers

26. Still no universal healthcare , it's all about enriching your billionaires and their hyper corrupt MAGA government.
    The Chinese are about to throw a spanner in the works with ai at a tenth the price and …OPEN SOURCE!!!! WOW never saw this coming, and it will hurt when US investors are left holding the empty paper bag, as the billionaires rise to trillionaires. Americans are such greedy greedy billionaire worshipers, and so weak at resisting this.
    Phone the French, they will show you it's done!

27. G’day Dagogo. Fantastic video I think I’ve seen on this subject. I’ve been watching your videos for years and this one is absolutely broadcast quality. Well done, mate. And great to see the man behind the voice finally. Keep up the good work 👏👏👏👏

28. A gold standard for currency, solves most of the world’s problems. I think…🤔

29. Larry Ellison in a serious race to being the top super villain.

30. Shouldn't be more resarch done in optimizing the energy hungry calculations (lots of multiplications going on here) of the neural networks with different kind of chips? How about optical. I stumbled upon the German company "Q.ANT" that does optical computers. I have no affiliations with them, and I do not know any other…yet. But the problem might be small money. This is not a big tech company. There were researchers in Texas that made semiconductors that also can store a certain amount of analog voltage in the bulk which they used to have the role for the "weights" in the neuron, which means analog weight multiplication. They made human face and movement pattern recocnition solely on the chip. That thing just uses 3 Watts! So the message ist clear: the most energy consuming bulk of AI can be moved to different architectures using different principles of physics. This does not mean Nvidia gets bankrupt. Those chips are NOT general purpose. But we can use general purpose for things they are better suited for. Hoisting data around, memory arrangements in SoCs, so the where-to put-which-data-and-how-to-read-it thing (you need to store the weights too, somehow). Still the domain of digital.
    If a chip could have discrete levels of analog voltage you could even face decay, a big downside of analog solutions. But there is hellish amount of money now for AI, but not for research outside language models, it seems.
    We would rather kill our planet and thus us instead of paying a developer his/her well-owned money…. and still fail mostly at that.

31. good to see your face bro
