you can say something like data centers are using as much electricity as if 33% new people started living in Nebraska. they are like our new neighbors. A new county of benevolent super-smart scientists in a data center.

I dont like the olympic swimming pool comparisons so I converted to immigrant population comparisons. How many people's worth of electricity and water are the data centers consuming , of course all the analysis was done on gemini since we are talking about google data centers :) here's the output

> Data centers impact local utilities unevenly: while their water consumption is roughly equivalent to adding a small town of 25,000 people, their electrical footprint across the state exceeds the residential power needs of the entire population of Nebraska.

> Together, Google’s three Nebraska data center sites draw enough electricity to power up to 290,000 homes—equivalent to supplying the entire residential power grid for roughly one-third of Nebraska’s total population.

Your best bet will be to start a network optimized ec2 (or gcp compute instance) and save to some bucket. Cloud network will be a lot more stable than home.

You can't please everyone on the internet, if he had posted this on Arxiv then someone else will be complaining that Arxiv is for humans to publish and that llm output should be social media post instead. Also, the proof fits in a tweet. So why blow it up.

that's because they said they'll silently fallback in case of model training. Then they backtracked, and said they wont silently fallback, but how will anyone ever know?

My daughter suffers from Autism Level 3 and I worked with my daughter's speech therapist and OT to build tejutalks.com which helps nonverbal children communicate with the help of AI.

It's being used by around 10 kids for the last 3 months and it's really helped some of them to demonstrate that they know a lot more than they can say.

It uses Openai models underneath, although initially I started with local inference using MLX. If anyone is curious feel free to reach out.

> ... the person next to him is probably also a combatant

Absolutely, they could even be future combatants even if they are not now. That's why killing schoolgirls in Iran, reporters in Lebanon, etc. is justified, they are all potential terrorists. It definitely can not be proven otherwise that they are not. Why take a chance? /s
