Futurism · Elon Musk Reportedly Doing Something Horrid to Power His AI Data CenterBy Joe Wilkins

"New aerial surveillance footage obtained by the Southern Environmental Law Center has found that Musk's artificial intelligence company, xAI, is using 35 methane gas generators to power its "Colossus" supercomputer facility, the backbone of its flagship Grok. That's 20 more generators than the 15 xAI filed permits for, and 35 more than it was approved to use.

The data center, nestled in historic south Memphis, came online last September, despite protests from community leaders. AI data centers are notoriously loud, and hog water and electricity like a mid-sized American city. Case in point, the local utility company, Memphis Light, Gas and Water (MLGW) estimates the Memphis facility will soon be sucking up one million gallons of water per day, as well as 150 megawatts of power, once it reaches its full power.

Though the MLGW says it's "executed four standard electric service agreements, one water service, and one gas service agreement" with xAI — totaling 50 megawatts of power — Musk says the facility needs much more due to rapid power fluctuations in his system of 10 to 20 megawatts at a time.

But getting approval for that kind of power is a slow and cautious process, according to Bloomberg, as rapid data center construction runs up against the limits of what civilian power grids can provide. Never one to wait for approval, Musk has chosen instead to exploit a loophole in local regulations, which seemingly allow him to park a fleet of toxic methane generators outside his facility as long as they don't sit in the same location for 364 days."

Elon Musk's AI startup, xAI, faces scrutiny for operating 35 gas turbines at its Memphis facility, exceeding permitted levels. This raises serious concerns about air quality, as the estimated emissions could impact local health. Residents are frustrated with the lack of xAI engagement as the SELC pushes for action to uphold the Clean Air Act. Explore the full story for more insights.

📰 "Generatywna sztuczna inteligencja już teraz podnosi czerwone flagi przez dezinformację, stronniczość i szkodliwe wyniki. Jednak ryzyko to znacznie wzrasta, gdy dane treningowe pochodzą ze słabo moderowanych lub toksycznych środowisk mediów społecznościowych. Rezultatem jest nowy rodzaj algorytmicznego wpływu - taki, który wykracza poza silniki rekomendacji i zaczyna przekształcać samą architekturę wiedzy.

Kiedy generatywna sztuczna inteligencja jest szkolona na toksycznych lub słabo moderowanych platformach mediów społecznościowych, nie tylko odzwierciedla uprzedzenia - wzmacnia je i systematyzuje. Modele te absorbują nie tylko język i zachowanie, ale także podstawową dynamikę samych platform, w tym ich ideologiczne echa, dyskryminujące wzorce i luźne standardy moderacji."

Dobry artykuł, m.in. o #grok od #xAI, firmy #Musk-a która kupiła #X czyli #Twitter-a. Polecam.
