  • Datacenters are not just for AI.

    This is potentially worse than you’d immediately think. Literally everything that exists in “the cloud” is in a datacenter and is not exclusively AI. Remember when AWS went down and half the internet went down with it? Now imagine the datacenters actually got destroyed and it wasn’t just a software bug. Imagine if the datacenters went down for your bank account or healthcare provider. Sure this is only happening in the Middle East at the moment, but as we’ve been learning more and more these days, if it can happen “over there” it can happen here too. Wherever “here” may be, this can affect you.

    ETA: Added some words.












  • As someone that loves gambling and always wanted to go to Vegas, I’d rather just go somewhere local if I wanna go to a casino. Vegas is as expensive as any other destination vacation (if not more expensive) but that’s not why most people want to go there no matter how much they try to change their image. If you’re not someone that likes gambling it’s probably cheaper and more worthwhile to go to Disney Land. And if you’re someone that likes gambling it’s cheaper to go to literally any other casino in the country.
