Technically, unless you can tell the future, nobody's right.

Apparently they CAN be closed loop.TheCatt wrote: Fri May 01, 2026 1:35 pm I didn't realize how much of the water they use evaporates. I thought it'd be a closed system cooling loop thing. Apparently 70-80% evaporates.
(About a new datacenter in Michigan)Related Digital also says the facility will use a closed-loop cooling system rather than evaporative cooling,
No idea what the installed mix is.
It's not me, it's someone else.
Re: Artificial Intelligence
Whatever it is, it's not going to matter. They are going to fuck up the entire area around them just like data centers have everywhere else. These companies didn't get to where they are by being nice to people or the planet. They aren't going to start now. Saline is fucked.

The Earth and humanity are fucked.
Everything right now is nothing more than a pyramid scheme and the people at the top hoping it doesn't all come crashing down before they can spend their money.

Re: Artificial Intelligence
I mean, this bill is going nowhere, also, data centers don't provide a lot of jobs after construction.

Re: Artificial Intelligence
Not wrong on either count.
I was listening to Tech Brew today and most Americans (71%) do not want data centers near them. Ds led the way (I missed that percentage), Is were at 50%, and Rs at 39%.
I work in IT and don't want one near me. I think they should be doing what China is doing and have them in the ocean until they get space based ones.

Re: Artificial Intelligence
Man, it's finally getting good. Coding isn't terrible any more. I had a very specific image I wanted the AI to make, and after a few iterations it made a really, really nice version of it. I was even able to upload some stuff to influence it.

Re: Artificial Intelligence
I have a project I had been working on, but had to have AI create a document to bookmark where we left off months ago. I'll be curious to pick it back up and see what has improved. Lately, I've just been using AI (mostly CoPilot Pro as I have a license through work) for non-coding tasks.

Re: Artificial Intelligence
Later refinement, it went off the rails a bit. But, it did eventually do what I wanted, and was able to work with discrete, specific parts of the image well.TheCatt wrote: Sat May 16, 2026 11:15 am Man, it's finally getting good.

Noticed the translation turned off when I posted this... It says, "I just read on LinkedIn that all AI app logos are shaped like an anus and now I can't unsee it."

Another company has AI issues.
