Do you consider yourself a luddite?  Are you fighting the use AI as the answer to furthering civilizations?  Ditch, Tim & Producer Max took a few minutes to opine on "neo-luddism" and the idea that questioning the rapid advancement of AI may not categorize someone as a luddite.  Elon Musk's xAI supercomputer Grok calls Memphis home. The facility, Colossus 1 as it's known, was built in an existing Electrolux factory. Colossus 2 is being constructed in Southaven, MS and is part of the massive data center construction boom.    A "gargantuan" data center has been approved in Utah that would encompass a 62 square mile space and would double the state's electricity consumption. Support the show: https://www.newstalk989.com/personalities/memphis-morning-news/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
