Impulso a la instalación de Data Centers en Brasil, consumo de agua y energía
Para que se vuelva árido sólo falta un empujoncito!
TikTok construirá un mega data center en una ciudad con un historial de sequías en Ceará
«Caucaia (la ciudad donde se instalará el Centro de Datos de TikTok), sin embargo, también es una ciudad que sufre repetidamente eventos climáticos extremos, como sequías, períodos secos y lluvias, según datos del Atlas Digital de Desastres de Brasil y del Sistema Integrado de Información sobre Desastres. En 16 de los últimos 21 años, entre 2003 y 2024, la ciudad entró, al menos, en estado de emergencia debido a la sequía.
En 2019, por ejemplo, casi 10 mil personas se vieron afectadas por la falta de agua. Al agotarse los embalses, el agua dejó de ser apta para el consumo, lo que ocasionó pérdidas de cosechas y dificultades para acceder a alimentos básicos para la población.
The Intercept Brasil descubrió que al menos otros tres centros de datos gigantes que están en proceso de autorización por parte del gobierno están ubicados en ciudades que sufren sistemáticamente la falta de agua y suministro. Es el caso, por ejemplo, de Igaporã, en Bahía, y de Campo Redondo, en Rio Grande do Norte. »

El auge de los centros de datos con inteligencia artificial está drenando agua de las zonas propensas a la sequía: ¿un punto de inflexión para la sostenibilidad?
Publicado 9 de mayo de 2025 Los centros de datos de IA se están expandiendo rápidamente en regiones con estrés hídrico, lo que genera preocupación por su uso masivo de agua y su impacto en las comunidades locales. Aminu Abdullahi/TechRepublicGigantes tecnológicos como Amazon, Microsoft y Google están alimentando las preocupaciones sobre el consumo de agua a medida que construyen centros de datos de IA en regiones propensas a la sequía, según revelan nuevas investigaciones.
Un análisis de Bloomberg reveló que más de dos tercios de los nuevos centros de datos construidos desde 2022 se ubican en regiones con escasez de agua, lugares donde la gente ya tiene dificultades para acceder a agua potable. No se trata de lugares aislados: en los últimos tres años se han construido aproximadamente 160 nuevos centros de datos centrados en IA en EE. UU., lo que representa un aumento del 70 % con respecto al trienio anterior.
“El problema solo se ha profundizado en los años transcurridos desde que ChatGPT inició un frenesí de inteligencia artificial”, informó Bloomberg.

@MissConstrue Nice #DataCenter you have there. Shame if anything happened to it.
An #Nvidia spox said the company was evaluating its "limited" options. "Until we settle on a new product design & receive approval from the #US govt, we are effectively foreclosed from #China's $50 billion #DataCenter market."
China remains a huge #market for Nvidia, accounting for 13% of its sales in the past financial year. It's the 3rd time Nvidia has had to tailor a #GPU for the world's 2nd-largest #economy after restrictions from the US who is keen to stymie Chinese #tech development.

welcome to the datacenter.
We’re going to need a bigger UPS! refreshing the batteries on the UPS so we can run bigger machines.

WTF ZUCK >>> BEHEMOTH AI BOMBS: Meta’s $20B AI Sinkhole
#MarkZuckerberg’s AI ambitions just hit a brick wall, and the crash is louder than a #DataCenter meltdown.
#Meta’s flagship #AI model, #Behemoth, a 2-trillion-parameter beast hyped to crush #OpenAI and #Google, has been delayed again—from April to June, now to fall 2025 or later.
Why? It’s underperforming, bleeding $10–$20 billion, and leaving investors fuming as Meta’s stock tanked 2.5%....

“#Tech giants are racing to expand with new — and larger — data centers to support #AI, consuming more #resources, including water. That only adds to concerns that #communities facing water shortages will have to compete with #datacenter operators to access clean water.”
“Data centers typically #evaporate about 80% of the #water they draw, discharging 20% back to a wastewater treatment facility […].”

"Public officials have been sworn to silence," about a massive data-processing center being built on 700 acres of wooded land in Alabama.
Nothing sinister about this at all. Nope.

It's really interesting to see a company report they are saving millions in storage fees alone by moving *from* AWS to on-prem, considering so many companies were influenced to move to AWS to begin with because of Netflix's articles many years ago about the money they saved on storage costs moving *to* AWS.

@varbin @f4grx @nixCraft @torproject Well, you can dynamically block them based off packet rate & amount of requests and rate-limit them as well as limit them in terms of transfer rate.
Not to mention you rarely see DDoS attacks from residential IPs and ISPs are quick to disconnect offending hosts upon reporting them, so worst-case one blocks a /24 for 24 hours.
Again: if this is a real problem, any decent datacenter / hoster / upstream will gladly pick up the phone or reply to your support request via mail.
#DECIX even officially recommends that as a means to handle large-scale DDoS attacks and keep everyone else online.
KI, KI, KI.
Riesige Rechenzentren.
Immer mehr, immer mehr, immer noch mehr.
Strom, Wasser, Lärm, Verschmutzung.
Es zerstört das Leben von Menschen.
Aber Hauptsache, du kannst dir ein "fany Bild" und einen "kreativen Song" kreieren lassen und ein LLM, wie zB ChatGPT fragen, wie morgen das Wetter wird.
Mei, ist das alles beknackt!
