The issue being discussed was Malta running out of energy because of AI data centers. It will not. Nor will we in the rest of Europe. Regular data centers aren’t filled to the brim with power hungry GPU servers. They’re also not very good for running AI workloads.
Missing the point. This has only become an issue since specific AI data centres have become a thing. My point still stands, I dont believe there are any specific AI centres in Europe which use a hell of a lot more energy, generate more noise and more pollution
Sure, but there are definitely AI companies with europe based servers. OpenAI is one of them. Your comment was about servers being overseas because we dont have AI datacenters, I’m saying that’s not true.
Yes, we don’t have AI datacenters, but we still host AI in europe, in multi-purpose datacenters.
why?
And what is their power grid running on goat turds? Because I’m pretty sure there is an energy crisis in that part of the world.

ChatGPT would most likely connect to US servers.
The article doesn’t say anything about them running an AI data center. No one is making that claim.
Okay then, we’re is the data center servicing them or internet servers for Malta?
Apparently Malta already has the Internet. Surprising, I know.

Yeah we don’t even have internet in Europe and only recently started importing electricity from the great US, leader of the technological world.
In all seriousness, obviously Europe is filled with data centres too. This site lists ~4000 data centers in the US and ~3000 in Europe.

How many of those are AI data centers though? Those consume an order of magnitude more power.
You dont need an AI-specific datacenter to have a datacenter serving AI.

No, the chain of comment had switched to where the servers are located. Someone claimed overseas, and that was the topic of this chain, then.
The chain of comment specifically mentions that no one is claiming it will run on AI datacenters.
