Not in my building. We use closed-loop, RO, continuously filtered, deionized water. Like all of the others my company runs.

Whats your source?

Damn I'm old - that this explanation is needed.

You assume that the market is rational. I think we left that road some decades ago.

All DC power becomes waste heat in the end.

• Normal people generally can't really afford masterpieces.

The Medicis financed the "great art" of their time. The equivalent of today's 1% folks.

Somewhat less than 15MW.

This is promising career news for data center techs like me.

My industry is ruled by trade secrets during this phase. That's part of the explanation for the complete lack of pushback on the "bad press" we get. Thanks for understanding.

Same place as any NYC skyscraper - the air on the roof.

I expect that my tone was wrong there. My point is that I have seen the facts, and others are going by what has been reported second or third hand. I am here in this discussion because I believe that there are folks out there that are open -minded enough to hear a viewpoint that is outside of their experience.

I'm far too old to be offended in an online discussion forum.

The latter.

Do you work in the industry? I've been in datacenters since the 90s. Large and small. Telco and Data. I've seen bad actors and good - firsthand.

Unlimited PTO.

Generous 401 program.

Parental leave.

Adoption coverage.

2SLGBTQIA+ supportive.

Fully neurodivergent friendly.

Mental & Emotional well being programs.

Aggressive promotion schedules.

And more I forget.

The industry is moving very fast, so we cannot afford any employee-owned committee dithering. To make up for that, there are generous stock grants.

The execs take risks and own up to their mistakes. Everyone is aware that what we are working on won't be invented until tomorrow. So mistakes are all learning opportunities for the entire organization.

However, cultural mismatches to not stay with us long. If you bring nothing but a cya attitude, you don't go far.

Employee surveys are always fully honest and issues raised are always addressed.

We. Are. Happy.

That's employee-forward.

I've worked at a lot of companies from startups to Fortune 10. This place is unique.

Yes it is. And we would happily adhere to a sustainable and community friendly raft of legislation to level the field and restore respect to the industry.

I cannot say what OAI does as I have not witnessed it. I do know what happens on my sites. I have seen it myself instead of relying on the press. I don't deny that others likely have bad practices. I simply know from personal experience that the "good guys" are being painted with a broad brush.

Thank you for understanding the nuance.

The bulk of the industry agrees that Musk is doing all the wrongest possible things.

He is not the industry. He just gets the press attention.

Are all electric cars bad? No, just his.

Yes. "AI" has become a catch-all for this current generation of GPU- based computing. The public doesn't know or care about ML vs LLM vs VLM vs GenAI etc.

We can't speak due to very harsh NDAs.

Every CC company is now using advanced "AI" algorithms to approve transaction speed.

The current state of medical research requires "AI" systems to run the simulations.

What you see as "AI" is the leftover dregs of the capacity. Used for cat videos and the like. The current buildout is NOT being paid for by memesters. It is the folks that have finally found the real promise that the digital revolution has promised since the 70s. As an outsider, I do not blame you for being misinformed. But - as you would be open to learning how big science is done today if a particle physics researcher explained it - I would hope that you would be open to my lives experience.

And yours is the "my asshole neighbor is black, so I hate all black people" defense.

You have bought into the sensationalist outrage press about the worst offenders. Yes, they are bad. But as we don't pass judgement based on news of a sensational crime in a quiet neighborhood, we need to rise above the media noise to see the entire picture.

You can believe that if you want. It is true for some (cough-Musk-cough), but not all.

Our customers are often what are considered socially "good", like medical research. Our company is employee-forward with extraordinary benefits of all kinds. The executives are very down-to-earth.
