Las Vegas' dystopia-sphere, powered by 150 Nvidia GPUs and drawing up to 28,000,000 watts, is both a testament to the hubris of humanity and an admittedly impressive technical feat

The Las Vegas Sphere might have an impressive spec sheet, but its energy demands are almost as staggering.

      I believe that’s implied in the “hubris” bit.

      Its one of the smaller atrocities in Vegas, particularly when compared to the Bellagio Fountain or the food waste generated by all those casino dining halls.

        The fountains aren’t quite as wasteful as they seem. They use a lot of water compared to a house, but way less than some car washes.

      Yeah we should have never invented televisions or records either! And don’t even get me started on cell phones. Just waste waste waste.

      Why, if it were up to me we would all still be hunting and gathering!
