Creator @teortaxesTex argues future superintelligence will run on compact hardware clusters rather than massive, strategically vulnerable datacenters

The debate began over nuclear risks to US datacenters

im very ASI pilled right now, so naturally I think about nuclear war

and I just thought it's a very convenient strategic fact that all of the largest US datacenters are far away from the nuclear silos

but it's not a coincidence. the silos were built in remote locations where very few people live, which means little to no infrastructure, and that makes it unattractive for datacenters

but it probably doesn't matter with the amount of nukes that china has

I think a good heuristic is: if we ever start building datacenters deep inside mountains the world is probably doomed

Sentiment

Positive users endorse remote datacenters as strategically advantageous for existential risks while negative users dismiss related nuclear targeting speculation as brain rot or unrealistic.

Chyna isn't nuking DCs. only Eliezer is thinking of this strategically relevant ASI, not another LLM for pleb mass consumption, will probably be very easy to run off a compact cluster. We won't even notice the energy footprint
