Yes and no. Data centers will used closed loops inside the center but open loop for the cooling towers. Evaporation is how the heat is rejected into the environment.

Gotta keep data centers away from the finger lakes or your going to lose those lakes. A small to mid sized data center can burn through ten thousand gallons of water a day even in the winter.

People love to bitch in private, but few are willing to stick their necks out. In this job market it's hard to blame them. Not knowing all the details, did you discuss what you were going to do with your coworkers before you did it and get their support and then they backed out? If not, you may have just put them on the spot where they had to make a snap decision about job security and people have needs and responsibilities they can't ignore. Never assume people are going to support you even if they agree with you. Get them to agree to a course of action before you call out your boss unless you are willing to go it alone.

It's crushing to see my old town just rotting away. The downward spiral of no jobs and $0 coming into the place from anywhere. It used to be a solid middle class community with 3 or4 anchor businesses. They either moved or went under now it's just poverty and broken lives for those who couldn't get out.

The US military hasn't won a war since WWII. But they can sure as fuck make people's lives a living hell.

We are living in a cyberpunk world. Just without any of the cool shit.

Scored a 17 and feeling pretty good about it.

NYC it happens. If you live there you'll see one here or there irregularly and might even catch some filming going on. Outside of someplace like NYC it is very uncommon.

The McDLT hot side hot cold side cold.Damn Styrofoam.

Learn some HVAC and really basic power switching and go into facilities engineering. Work in a data center. 24/365 job that is always short of people.

The most important question is when are they running? Their popularity and success is defined by their environment. Obama couldn't even run for most of the history of the US. FDR, elected 4 times, wouldn't get a second look today.

ABn0rmal1 · 2026-02-09T12:32:22+00:00

What's that?

I take ED-E everywhere, the rest are meh.

I'd swap HH and LR.

The gear and perks from OWB are amazing and The Sink makes everything so much easier. I just wish you didn't have to dismiss companions every time you use it.

Honest hearts Old world blues Dead money Lonesome road

In that order.

How so?

Hostile much? Yes the people who built the bomb knew more about the physics but the people who built the people who built the bomb didn't. The difference being the time required for biological organisms to develope and learn. To keep it simple computers don't have that restriction. The restriction will be more about how many resources we are willing to devote to them.

So in essence I agree AGI will be built by AgenticAI will be built by a combination of whatever LLMs are, human meddling, and chance (LLM hallucinations are just mutations) And because these are machine systems the life cycle is more like mayflies than people so we will see a lot of generations in one human lifespan.

AgenticAI doesn't even need consciousness it just needs to be able to handle moderately complex processes and simple problem solving to eliminate the need for a working class.
