☝🏻 OpenAI Plans to Consume as Much Electricity as the Entire Country of India

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman revealed an ambitious goal: by 2033, the company aims to scale its computing capacity to 250 GW. (Tom’s Hardware)

This is often compared to India’s energy consumption — though technically it’s about installed / planned capacity, not the country’s actual current consumption. (iXBT)

To reach this scale, up to 60 million Nvidia GPUs will be required, with 30 million new GPUs annually. (Tom’s Hardware)

The estimated cost for energy infrastructure alone could reach $12.5 trillion. (BTCC)

Environmentally, emissions from such data centers are projected to be twice as high as ExxonMobil, one of the largest private carbon emitters. (Tom’s Hardware)

Altman describes this massive expansion as a form of “brutal industrialization”, aiming for Artificial General Intelligence (AGI). (Fortune)

  YaCy + IPFS: Децентрализированный поиск для децентрализованного интернета Вступление: В эпоху борьбы за цифровую независимость децентрализованные технологии становятся все более актуальными. Поисковые системы остаются последним звеном, контролируемым централизованными корпорациями. Что если объединить YaCy — свободную P2P-поисковую систему — с IPFS, распределенной файловой системой? Такая интеграция позволила бы создать устойчивую и неподцензурную альтернативу традиционному поиску. В этом материале рассмотрим теоретические возможности и вызовы подобной имплементации. Хэштеги: #YaCy #IPFS #P2P #Decentralization #Web3 #Поиск #ЦифроваяСвобода #OpenSource #DHT #Блокчейн Целевая аудитория Эта статья ориентирована на: Разработчиков и энтузиастов децентрализованных технологий, особенно тех, кто интересуется P2P-системами, Web3 и распределенными поисковыми движками. Исследователей и активистов, стремящихся к созданию альтернатив централизованным поисковым системам. Участников экосистем...

  ### Post-ironic essay: "Sindoor, facts and the world circus" So, while the world is watching the second season of Operation Sindoor live, we are sitting with popcorn and trying to understand: where are the facts, and where is another script from global showrunners? India is hitting Pakistan, Pakistan is hitting back, and somewhere in the shadows China is rubbing its hands as if preparing its “oxygen” spoiler. RAND warned back in 2018: facts are drowning in opinions, bloggers are defeating the NYT, and truth is like an awl in a bag, only now the bags are full of holes. Let's take Sindoor. India shouts: "We kill the terrorists!" Pakistan: "You are killing our children!" Both sides post videos to X, and who's right? Fact checkers come into the chat, but you need to check them yourself. Your method - crossing a bunch of sources, throwing out propaganda and cobbling together a "synthetic fact" - sounds like trying to assemble a puzzle where ...
