MIT Technology Review: China built hundreds of AI data centers to catch the AI boom. Now many stand unused.. “Just months ago, a boom in data center construction was at its height, fueled by both government and private investors. However, many newly built facilities are now sitting empty. According to people on the ground who spoke to MIT Technology Review—including contractors, an […]

China built hundreds of AI data centers to catch the AI boom. Now many stand unused.
The country poured billions into AI infrastructure, but the data center gold rush is unraveling as speculative investments collide with weak demand and DeepSeek shifts AI trends.

Loi «simplification»: un déni de démocratie pour mieux imposer les data centers
L’#AssembléeNationale a débuté l’examen du projet de loi relatif à la simplification de la vie économique. À son article 15, ce projet de loi «simplification» (ou PLS) prévoit d’accélérer la construction d’immenses #DataCenters sur le territoire français en dérégulant autant que faire se peu.

"You can only throw so much money at a problem.
This, more or less, is the line being taken by AI researchers in a recent survey. Asked whether "scaling up" current AI approaches could lead to achieving artificial general intelligence (AGI), or a general purpose AI that matches or surpasses human cognition, an overwhelming 76 percent of respondents said it was "unlikely" or "very unlikely" to succeed.
Published in a new report, the findings of the survey, which queried 475 AI researchers and was conducted by scientists at the Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence, offer a resounding rebuff to the tech industry's long-preferred method of achieving AI gains — by furnishing generative models, and the data centers that are used to train and run them, with more hardware. Given that AGI is what AI developers all claim to be their end game, it's safe to say that scaling is widely seen as a dead end."

"Le ministère de l’Éducation nationale et de la jeunesse vient d'attribuer le marché public qui vise à équiper ses services centraux et les établissements supérieurs en solutions #Microsoft, des postes client aux #datacenters. L'enveloppe prévisionnelle se monte à un minimum de 74 millions d'euros, en nette hausse par rapport au précédent contrat, alors même que le ministère vient d'enjoindre dans une nouvelle circulaire les établissements scolaires à exclure « toute utilisation de solution non #souveraine dans le domaine de l’éducation »." 
"Investor-owned utility companies […] are currently competing to serve Big Tech customers because their shareholders stand to reap enormous profits from developing the power infrastructure to serve data centers. And to provide attractive rates to secure Big Tech companies as customers, utilities are spreading data centers' energy costs across an unwitting public." https://lpeproject.org/blog/youre-paying-big-techs-power-bill/

@EUCommission I don't say hello as long as these #dataCenters lead to an immense climate-damaging footprint (water consumption/electricity), can even increase electricity costs for inhabitants of such an area. As long as there are no ethical guidelines. As long as these things scrape everything without restraint, appropriate copyrighted content and thus massively harm the #authors. I say: we could use the money for urgently needed social and climate projects!

"Microsoft tentada a recurrir al gas natural ya que las energías renovables no logran seguirle el ritmo a la IA"
Los costes no tan ocultos de la mal llamada IA. Esto es en lo que colaboras cada vez que usas #copilot , #ChatGPT y toda esa basura, y el que se crea eso de las medidas para "capturar las emisiones" es un ingenuo (en el mejor de los casos).

"Microsoft tempted to hit the gas as renewables can't keep up with AI"
The not so hidden costs of the so-called AI. This is your contribution every single time you use Copilot, ChatGPT and all that crap, and if you do really believe the "...with carbon capture technology..." part, at best, you're naive.
