概要: サウスメンフィスにあるxAIのスーパーコンピュータ施設「Colossus」は、許可されているのはわずか15基であるにもかかわらず、33基のメタン燃料タービンを稼働させているとされています。これらのタービンは、GrokのAIトレーニングに使用されていると報じられています。この施設の膨大なエネルギー消費と、許可されていないとされるタービンは、窒素酸化物とホルムアルデヒドを大量に排出しているとされ、既に汚染と健康リスクに悩まされている黒人居住地域に、さらに有毒なスモッグをもたらしています。
Editor Notes: Reported timeline of events: (1) 06/05/2024, it is reportedly announced that xAI will begin constructing and operating Colossus, a massive AI supercomputer facility in a predominantly Black neighborhood in South Memphis. (2) Throughout 2024 and into 2025, reports emerge that the facility is running 33 methane-powered gas turbines despite having permits for only 15, reportedly producing large volumes of nitrogen oxides and formaldehyde without public notice or pollution controls.
