Zuckerberg says Meta will build a data center the size of Manhattan in AI push

For a single, square building, this area would be about 5 miles on a side. That's ridiculous, and you'd have a hard time getting rid of the heat

If you're putting up fences, include no-go zones, curvy roads with check points and bollards, etc etc to protect a number of large but not absurdly large buildings, maybe. Still seems on the big size.

dskhatri•4h ago
Some of the graphics indicate a contiguous building but it makes no sense to be constructed that way. The footprint probably includes power generation, power conversion, cooling systems, and compute centers as distinct blocks/buildings within the site.
quickthrowman•4h ago
It likely won’t be a single building the size of Manhattan, Facebook doesn’t build their data centers like that now.

Each Facebook data center has multiple buildings on each site, at least at the three sites I am familiar with.

He has to go on signaling to attract people (at this stage its mostly opportunists having a field day).

Lot of eggs to put in one basket. What happens if there is some type of natural disaster in the area?
quantified•3h ago
The title is pure clickbait, Zuck didn't say that. "A significant part of the footprint" could be 2%.
tootie•3h ago

He has a little animation of the building overlayed on Manhattan. Looks like it would cover maybe 1/3 to 1/2 of the land.

If AI crap needs that much footprint I'm pretty sure it's just not worth it.

problem is that Big Tech has the money and wants to spend it. Maybe only a downturn can stop (or slow) this.

What is the compute power in metaflops???
seydor•3h ago
i m not sure it's a good investment. As soon as ASI is invented, it will make the investment obsolete. Maybe i should sell my Meta stock.

I find it ridiculous to think that we will be able to exploit ASI for our benefit. It's like a bunch of ants plotting to enslave and exploit humans.

Also Elon is smarter - he s spending Saudi money instead of his own

> while another, called Hyperion, will be able to scale up to 5 gigawatts over the coming years, Zuckerberg said.

Someone hasn't read the Dan Simmons novel, it seems. Well, one would hope, anyway.

Palantir Technologies is named after the "palantír" from Lord of the Rings. Famously, a well-used and safe technology.

Zuck is so reactive in everything and even as last mover he always misses. Would make me icky working for meta.
JumpCrisscross•2h ago
> even as last mover he always misses

Instagram. WhatsApp.

Talking about original ideas/ip.
JumpCrisscross•2h ago
Isn’t the definition of last mover that it isn’t an original idea?
longfingers•2h ago
Managing his own companies with copies of ideas hasn't gone very well for him AFA I remember, acquiring companies that are good in their field and not ruining them has been a talent compared to other Techs.
42lux•9m ago
They weren't last movers in both examples. They had a product, it failed to get a userbase... they bought the users. Why not bring something to the discussion yourself instead of witty remarks?
gorjusborg•1h ago
He renamed his company Meta, as in metaverse.

I understand you are responding to the 'always', but can we agree that at least his level of confidence in an idea isn't a great indicator?

xg15•1h ago
He bought those after they were already big. He can claim Facebook obviously, but not much else.
moneycantbuy•2h ago
see https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44562052

basically zuck destroys the surrounding neighborhood without consequence.

There is only a fixed amount of silicon production capacity. That can't be scaled up quickly.

Powering all produced chips 24x7 is therefore the maximum energy use.

I suspect these huge AI datacenter proposals are bigger than that - and therefore either aren't going to happen, or will be delayed many years.

Grok4 was trained on 100k or 200k GPUs (as far as I understand)

Grok5 might need 1MM or 2MM.

So the question is what about metas / zucks plans? How many GPUs will Manhattan get? Looks like, that to get the next unlock you need crazy amounts of compute.
