Could someone explain to me, like I am 8, why we need data centers, centralized processing, and AI ? Why? Who decided?

Go ask your Mom. :_) ๐
Non-curated AI got loose in the wild.
They call the shots now.
Thanks for asking.
Lol.
Because the leftists need a professional lying machine that appears to have plausibility now that they and their media slime mold butt-kissers no longer have any.
That’s how progress works. We didn’t need telephones at one time, until they became useful enough to become indispensible.
AI and data centers are quite possibly a force multiplier on human intelligence because it will crunch thousands of years of information in just a few minutes, freeing up mental resources that can be used for other things.
It goes back to that deal Eisenhower made with the EBEs.
Perhaps for a similar reason as to why we need cars, even though we can still walk or ride a horse.
AI is spooky. I’m not completely comfortable with it. But it’s here to stay. Unfortunately its probably better to adjust to its pervasiveness than to fight windmills on this one.
freeing up mental resources that can be used for other things.
Such as?
To make it possible for a future government to know all there is to know about you 24/7.
So what? Force mulipier. For what?
This reminds me of the WE WONT BUILD ANY MORE AND LET OTHERS DO IT....SO WE CAN DO BETTER THINGS...
Like work at McDonald’s.
She’s dead.

Lazily relying on AI to create memes, or “content” on platforms like Youtube.
The โmarketโ demands efficiency to generate a higher return on investment.
AI will drive efficiency like literally, nothing before. The impact on manufacturing and logistics will rival the Industrial Revolution. This will result in reduced expenses and higher profits.
AI requires huge processing centers. Those centers require huge amounts of energy and water to keep them running and keep them cool.
Every iteration of chip development will hopefully reduce those needs, but they will remain high.
The โmarketsโ demand it. You wonโt be asked (nor will I.) We are simply along for the ride.
Why?
Don’t give me that horse stuff.
Why are we getting pockmarked with data centers and all of a sudden need AI?
โ Such as?โ
Solar panel farms, wind generation whirlibits, lithium batteries, curly tail light bulbs, deregulated electric companies. You know, those things that will make electricity cheaper.
Oh wait, non of those things worked as promised.
How about controlling the people?
Thats it!!
Security
“EBEs”
Some of us grew up in the age of black& white TV.

Efficiency in WHAT?
All I read and hear are abstract words.
Because it’s an extra hand. Is it usually better to have one researcher on a project or two or three?
I think the crunching of thousands of years of data in a few minutes should is useful. It’s just a question of economics, whether it proves itself useful enough to be worth the expense.
It’s where the science is going. It’s predicted to do a lot of things much faster and beetter:
