• Pat Flood (@rebarcock) passed away 9/21/25. Pat played a huge role in encouraging the devolopmemt of this site and donated the very first dollar to get it started. Check the thread at the top of the board for the obituary and please feel free to pay your respects there. I am going to get all the content from that thread over to his family so they can see how many people really cared for Pat outside of what they ever knew. Pat loved to tell stories and always wanted everyone else to tell stories. I think a great way we can honor Pat is to tell a story in his thread (also pinned at the top of the board).

The AI revolution, that we are all living in, will be incredible. As far as a comparison; The Covid pandemic reduced GDP by less than the AI revolution will increase GDP in 2025.

I think there are only three frontier tier AI supercomputers. Maybe four.

Microsoft, Alphabet (Google), Amazon, and possibly Elon’s. Not sure about that last one because it is privately owned. Grok.

Frontier level AI are the largest data set and therefore the smartest. They have this because they slso have to have the most processing power. The most number of the most expensive processing chips. GPU by Nvidia, or Broadcomm brand.

These Frontier machines are on giant server farms. They are super expensive to run. Such high demands for electricity, they are buying and restoring old nuclear power plants. Think on that.

These server farms also demand a water source. Such technology that we have is still not far enough to create frictionless electrical travel. So heat is created as a by product of all the electrical usage.. alot of heat. Sothe buildings are cooled by air conditioning that uses water cooled condensers. Water towers.

So, the frontier level AI are few and expensive to run. Think absolute power consolidation.

Already they think the frontier AI is smart enough that it is being used to train smaller AI models. And those trained AI are being used to train lower tier AI models. A more and more reduced frame of reference that can never be current.

What you have in your phone is about three steps from frontier.

So….. to sum it up. Invest in the companies that have frontier AI.

I say we fucking blow up the server farms.

I'll stick with my Iphone over having the Terminator show up.
 
At least Texas will end up with the same amount of loses

But we won't be here...
