  @lauren@mastodon.laurenweinstein.org @briankrebs@infosec.exchange the calculus is way different in China, since they've been building up their electrical infrastructure continuously for the past few decades.

  @lauren@mastodon.laurenweinstein.org @briankrebs@infosec.exchange From what I can see, Chinas approach makes a lot more sense than the one of the U.S. and it requires a lot less datacenters. They’re putting a lot of thought into “how to use AI” and less about making it just bigger. IMHO there isn’t a need for China to stir any sentiment against datacenters. They can lean back and order popcorn on that front. Where they can (and will) hurt the U.S. is by just showing you can do most tasks with pretty small models even at home.
