I work in one of those AI data centers. Remarkably little storage. And the servers are astonishingly specialized for the job. Not to mention power hungry. I'd much rather have a gen10 Proliant. Or a few NUCs and a qnap.

They have different data centers for storage (AI doesn't need much), but you're right, it's all unbelievably specialized to the point of being basically useless for any purpose that it wasn't specifically designed for. We really have been spoiled with how general purpose our computing infrastructure has been up until now. That's simply not how things are scaling up anymore.

They really don't need storage except for the models and training data right? And most of that isnt theirs to begin with so why store it?

So all that breathless reporting I've been reading lately about how the AI boom is causing a hard drive shortage is bullshit just like the AIs themselves? Can't say as I'm surprised one way or the other.
