In a Tibetan lamasery, the monks seek to
list all of the names of God. They believe
the Universe was created for this purpose,
and that once this naming is completed, God
will bring the Universe to an end. Three
centuries ago, the monks created an alphabet
in which they calculated they could encode
all the possible names of God, numbering
about 9,000,000,000 ("nine billion") and
each having no more than nine characters.
riting the names out by hand, as they had
been doing, even after eliminating various
nonsense combinations, would take another
15,000 years; the monks wish to use modern
technology to finish this task in 100 days.
They rent a computer capable of printing all
the possible permutations, and hire two
Westerners to install and program the machine.
The computer operators are skeptical but
play along. After three months, as the job
nears completion, they fear that the monks
will blame the computer (and, by extension,
its operators) when nothing happens. The
Westerners leave slightly earlier than their
scheduled departure without warning the monks,
so that it will complete its final print run
shortly after they leave. On their way to the
airfield they pause on the mountain path. Under
a clear night sky they es timate that it must be
just about the time that the monks are pasting
the final printed names into their holy books.
Then they notice that "overhead, without any
fuss, the stars were going out."

Operational energy (running the data center
for 1 year at 1 GW) = 8,760 TWh Hardware
manufacturing energy = 0.75 TWh
So the energy to produce the hardware is
roughly 0.0085 (or 0.85%) of the annual
operational energy.
Hi,
Interestingly there is also now a top-ten
for AI data centers, not only super computers.
We are talking about newly built AI data centers
that for the first time go into giga watts:

Hi,
Funny video that uses KI generated content
itself, to decry KI generated content. We
live in a paradox world:
"While we are still thinking about the
possible social effects of artificial
intelligence, the digital knowledge space
is already drowning into synthetic trash.
How could it get that far? How could the
network, which had not been long ago as a
place of free knowledge and the open exchange
of information and entertainment, became
mechanically manufactured nonsensively
in record speed?"
KI: Der Tod des Internets - ARTE
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cGmVehWBdHI
Word of the year 2025:
"AI slop has been variously defined as "digital
clutter", "filler content [prioritizing] speed
and quantity over substance and quality",[6]
and "shoddy or unwanted AI content in social
media, art, books and [...] search results".
AI slop
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AI_slop
Poor Rossy Boy, now he is completely Jobless.
In the past he was the solve king of Human Slop.
Now AI Slop thanks to large scale remix, stable
diffisuion and who knows what, is the new spam king.

A very old story. I read it as a child.

I dunno. Was trying to find another story,
of a scientiest who studies the mind, and
then goes slowly crazy when he discovers
how the mind works. But what I posted
is a **Plot Summmary** of a short story:

Maybe he used some existing Asian lore,
I don't know. Who is an expert in this matter?
