Has anybody found a use for all the AI data centres being built yet?
Man they’re really desperate for power. I’m glad they are otherwise power would cost 5x the amount it does now.
The electricity use gets distributed across the grid and the heat becomes useful rather than a waste problem. Also they pay you for it. Could work out of done properly. But inevitably these are the people who specialise in enshitification and exploitation.

The real value in this is the free electricity and residential proxy network.
Honestly everything I’ve heard in the news today is fucking insane.
Want to browse the internet from today forward: download the Google Captcha App on verified Android devices and prove your identity to Google first.
Yeah, that’s Google’s new recaptcha system.
Is this for real?
😢
100% real.
All reCAPTCHAs are converting to Google Fraud Defence automatically.
reCAPTCHA is adding new challenge types including Mobile Device challenge through the reCAPTCHA app, which only runs on iOS and Google Play Services on certified Android (Not Graphene, Lineage, mobile Linux).
They’re also adding camera video challenges, so you have to prove you’re a human by showing your face and doing hand gestures on demand. And they’re adding features to require biometric verification.
Plus, reCAPTCHA is now fully integrated into Google Analytics (funny how that works), so you can “reach the right audiences”.
So we’ve gone from “prove your not a bot” to “prove who you are, link your browser to your phone, and show us your face and then we’ll let you see our 15 million websites”.

This needs it’s own post not buried in the comments. Thanks for the headsup.
Who do I bother telling about God y that can actually write a half decent article that people will read?
What if you can’t do the hand gestures because you have a disability of some kind?
You get told to download the app from a device that Google gets paid for and have to share your identity with them.
Oooh so they will have these high-end GPUs just sitting there on house walls? What tools would be needed to unmount one, and how heavy is it to transport? Asking for a friend…
So they’re distributing their data center into various neighborhoods and therefore are leeching on power lines and everything else there. Kind of clever but also sneaky an slimy.
I already have a “mini data center in my house”. We could use an anonymous shared computing platform like Folding@Home for extra income or something.
Anyone using a Span product is dumb.
I see they’re still not giving up on that bubble.
Literally the most absurd offer in history of universe. You pay $150/month to have some extra noise and space taken away from you. While they install batteries in your home, it is for their use, and takes up more space. All you get is a phone app that can turn off lights in other rooms.
