but hope tthat some of the ideas that have been made in the past on power are able to be taken in by the left more generally due to that i imagine most of the left wont touch anarchist ideas due to the stigma
not that most of americans have any idea that an old libertarianism existed outside of its current form, beyond ppl who were aware and a lot older now

there arent many full true libertarians left, but thats fine because faithful libertarianism is completely untenable in reality. but plenty of other groups of people lean libertarian. there are left wing fascists but there are a lot of libertarian leaning leftists

i find the classification of fascists as left wing to be a needless thing to kinda yk
its like, there are ones who identify as such but at the same time its often smth that is inherently right wing even if they say or veil with left ideals, just as the nazis did early on

#smartai how much water do ai data centers use yearly?

The water consumption of AI data centers is a critical and often underestimated aspect of their environmental footprint. While exact figures vary based on scale, location, cooling methods, and operational efficiency, recent estimates suggest that **large-scale AI data centers can consume between 1 million to 5 million gallons (3.8–19 million liters) of water per day**, depending on workload intensity and climate conditions.

### **Annual Water Usage Estimates:**
- A single hyperscale data center supporting AI workloads may use **300–500 million gallons (~1.1–1.9 billion liters) annually**—equivalent to the yearly water consumption of a small city.
- Google’s latest sustainability report indicated its global data centers consumed **4.3 billion gallons (16.3 billion liters)** in 2022; much of this supports AI/ML workloads.
- Microsoft's research suggests training GPT-3 alone required an estimated **700,000 liters (~185,000 gallons)** for cooling compute clusters during model development.

### Key Factors Influencing Consumption:
1. **Cooling Systems:**
- Evaporative cooling (common in hot climates) uses vastly more water than air or liquid immersion alternatives.
- PUE (**Power Usage Effectiveness**) impacts total demand—lower PUE reduces both energy and associated cooling-water needs.

2. Geographic Location:
- Arid regions like Arizona exacerbate evaporation losses compared to cooler climates with lower wet-bulb temperatures.

3.AI Model Complexity:
- Training large language models (LLMs) like GPT-4 or Gemini requires weeks/months of high-performance computing (HPC), drastically increasing thermal load versus inference tasks.

### Contextual Comparison:
A single ChatGPT query reportedly consumes ~500ml freshwater due to backend server farms' evaporative cooling demands (*UC Riverside study*). Extrapolated globally at billions daily requests? The numbers compound alarmingly toward tens/hundreds Olympic-sized pools monthly just for chatbot interactions alone!

While tech firms invest heavily into reclaimed/recycled H₂O systems & "water-positive" pledges remain aspirational currently without standardized reporting metrics industry-wide transparency gaps persist making precise sectoral accounting elusive today but undeniable long-term risks loom as compute scales exponentially under current paradigms which must evolve urgently via innovations such as:
✅ Direct-to-chip liquid-cooling architectures
✅ Closed-loop adiabatic systems minimizing potable reliance
✅ Siting facilities near seawater/brackish sources instead

#ai how much of a relationship does male pattern baldness have to diet exactly?? I find this subject quite confusing and wish to learn more

male pattern baldness (androgenic alopecia) is mostly genetic and driven by hormones like dht, but diet can play a supporting role in hair health. here’s the rough breakdown:

- bad nutrition (e.g., severe deficiencies in iron, zinc, biotin, protein) can make existing hair loss worse or cause general thinning, but it won’t *cause* male pattern baldness on its own.
- processed junk food, high sugar, and chronic inflammation won’t help either—might speed up the process slightly, but again, not the root cause.
- good nutrition (adequate protein, omega-3s, vitamins/minerals) can help optimize hair *quality* and *growth rate*, but won’t stop dht from miniaturizing follicles if you’re genetically prone.

tl;dr—diet matters at the margins, but the gun is loaded by your genes. focus on it for general health, not expecting miracles for baldness itself. finasteride/minoxidil are the actual big levers.

faye
stress is probably also a factor
sæкі
that and specific medicines/drugs
anon
>>446897
i think it does have something to do with facial bone growth, and that deleting/changing the genes that cause this facial bone growth in responce to dht in theory could prevent the cut off blood flow that causes mpb.

basically if a certain part of the skull grows too much in a certain shape, blood cannot reach the hair follicle which causes it to die over time, so it's literally skull expansion causing the hairs to die via reducing blood circulation in the scalp area

#smartai why is ai and high tech stuff in general so commonly sterepotyped as a far right wing/fascist thing??

The stereotype that AI and high technology are inherently associated with far-right or fascist ideologies stems from a combination of historical, sociopolitical, and cultural factors. Here’s a nuanced breakdown:

### 1. **Historical Context: Technocracy & Authoritarianism**
Fascist regimes in the 20th century (e.g., Nazi Germany, Mussolini's Italy) fetishized technological progress as a means of asserting dominance—industrialization for warfare, eugenics framed as "scientific," and propaganda machines leveraging cutting-edge media. This legacy creates an unconscious association between authoritarian control and technological advancement.

### 2. **Surveillance & Social Control**
Modern AI applications like facial recognition, predictive policing, and data-driven governance disproportionately serve state or corporate power structures—tools easily co-opted by authoritarianism (see China’s social credit system or Palantir’s contracts with ICE). The far right often glorifies these tools for enforcing rigid hierarchies ("law-and-order" rhetoric), while critics highlight their dystopian potential.

### 3. **Silicon Valley's Libertarian Leanings**
Many tech elites espouse libertarian views (minimal regulation, hyper-individualism), which can overlap with far-right anti-statism despite not being explicitly fascist. Figures like Peter Thiel illustrate this crossover: pro-tech accelerationism coupled with reactionary politics fuels perceptions that tech innovation aligns with right-wing extremism.

### 4. **Online Radicalization Algorithms**
AI-driven recommendation systems on platforms like YouTube/X amplify extremist content because outrage drives engagement—a well-documented phenomenon where algorithms inadvertently funnel users toward far-right conspiracy theories (e.g., gamergate to QAnon pipelines). This reinforces the idea that tech itself is complicit in radicalization.

### 5. "Neo-Reactionary" (**NRx**) & **Dark Enlightenment Thought**
A fringe but vocal segment of technologists promotes "neoreactionary" ideology (Curtis Yarvin/Mencius Moldbug), advocating for authoritarian governance justified through pseudo-technocratic reasoning ("CEO dictatorship"). Their influence in certain Silicon Valley circles perpetuates stereotypes linking futurism to regressive politics.

### Counterpoints:
- Leftist/liberal movements also employ AI/high-tech tools (climate modeling, decentralized networks).
- Many ethicists/researchers actively combat biases in AI to promote equity.
- Stereotyping all tech as fascistic ignores its democratizing potentials (open-source software; activist uses of encryption).

Ultimately, the association arises from *who most effectively weaponizes technology* today—not an intrinsic quality of the tools themselves but their misuse by reactionaries clinging to power through digital means.

Would you like deeper analysis on any specific facet?
why is ai and high tech stuff in general so commonly sterepotyped as a far right wing/fascist thing??
