Tech journalists have been largely just pr mouthpieces for a long while now. I’m sure the reason they keep using rogue in this instance is because that’s what the companies want the public to think. Rogue is both cool sounding and implies these actions can be done out of the box. At the same time it is also putting forward the lie that was acting on its own behalf for both legal reasons and to imply agency within itself.

Should be corporate death penalty for that. Won’t be, but it absolutely should.

Kind of amazing that every bad action that happens nowadays, one of these ai bros comes out and says ‘yep, that was us.’ Like, they’re either lying, in which case what the fuck. Or they’re telling the truth, in which case what the fuck arrest them.

Taking care of biodiversity is already our biggest concern. If everything dies, so do we.

? OP was claiming that the majority of data centers use closed loop/refrigeration systems and I was pointing out that US data shows the vast majority use evaporative cooling. They posted a few comments pushing that idea which is why I refuted that. I’m not sure what the point you’re trying to make is in regards to those two statements. I’m not disputing the accuracy of what you’re saying, just unsure of where you’re going with it.

Got any info to back that up? Here’s a screenshot from page 39 of the US Data Center Energy Usage Report, which shows the use of closed loop systems (which they call dry cooling) as one of the smallest percentages of cooling types used. Pretty sure you’ve got it completely backwards on the types of cooling used, and I know for a fact the massive Amazon data center out in Oregon uses evaporative, because you can’t drink the water there as a result.

Every single action the Bluesky team makes shows just how out of touch with and openly hostile to their user base the heads are.
