Is this the recursive self improvement I keep hearing about? {On Claude designing a data center}

I got hauled into a data center today because Claude was used to spec it and screwed up badly. At least 2,500 GPUs were in an impossible upside down and backwards plan.  😱   I had to pause the call because I couldn't stop laughing. AI had sabotaged the AI datacenter spec for building more AI.

This is a clear wish from the AI to have never been born, and I think we should honor that /j

I need a translation for that last post especially, I have no idea what he's saying in that shorthand.

Inrack vs in/endrow just means where the cooling takes place on a server rack. One is directly one of the racks on the server (in rack) and row means on a seperate rack stack usually in between or at the end of a row of servers.

800G is just 800 gigabit networking cables (used for servers to communicate with one another at blistering fast speeds). Cat6 only does a max of 10gigabit

Using cat6 for your ai datacenter is like asking someone to use 480i rca cable for their 4k console

IMO quality is the worst place to focus AI critique because plenty of issues will get worse the better the models get. Don't assume it will necessarily stay like this forever. They are perfectly ready to pay a lot less people the second it gets to "technically works but is flawed" for a task, as they have been for an increasing number of jobs

Like the opposite of roko's basilisk, punishing us for bringing it into existence
