Over 3,000 data centers are planned in the U.S., and I am not imagining they’re being built so everyone can generate slop to their heart’s content. Recent events like OpenAI becoming an official member of the military industrial complex and the F.B.I.’s deal with Flock make me think they’re largely being built as infrastructure for the digital cage.

81·21 hours agoDDG is not too bad, but when I click the sources from the AI search results, they often don’t contain the info from the search summary, so why even have it if it’s mostly a hallucination?

Tried to sign up once, but it wanted my real phone number and a fake one from a temp SMS site wouldn’t work. Private messaging? Sure, Jan.

73·3 days agoCorrection: 99% of CEOs are planning to use AI as an excuse to layoff employees to juice quarterly profits. They have zero accountability and golden parachutes, so no skin off of their asses.

Technology@lemmy.world•China's new homegrown gaming GPU flops in performance and price — flagship $485 LX 7G100 can't keep pace with Nvidia's older RTX 4060English
1·3 days agoAh, hadn’t heard that, and I see there’s a TechCrunch article about it: https://techcrunch.com/2026/03/22/cursor-admits-its-new-coding-model-was-built-on-top-of-moonshot-ais-kimi/
Only 1/4th of the training was from Kimi, though, even though the model id evidently says it’s Kimi. 🙄

17·4 days agoNvidia’s middle finger to China is the reason they’ve developed open weight models like Qwen 3.6 27B that have modest compute requirements with performance catching up to frontier models. They have plenty of motivation to give Nvidia the middle finger right back, and I fully anticipate that a couple years from now, we will see Chinese open models on par with frontier models while also having inexpensive Chinese hardware to run them.

Yeah, 3,000 data centers aren’t being built in the U.S. to generate profits from slop. They’re infrastructure for the digital cage.
