BLOOPERNET-FP: a serverless web drum circle | mykle systems labs

BLOOPERNET-FP is exactly that: a distributed web drum machine that you & your friends can play together in sync on your phones, tablets and laptops. Everybody can edit the drum pattern at once, any drum track can play through any speaker, and the whole pattern stays in sync across all devices as it plays. I’d like to say I made it all by myself, but I don’t know if I could have finished it without the assistance of Sonnet, my AI intern. I certainly couldn’t have finished the first version in three days! So it’s a bit more honest to say “we” made it – where “we” might include you, if you’re a software developer and any code you’ve ever written became part of the training data for this particular AI. If that’s the case, thank you!

The AI water issue is fake – by Andy Masley

However, the water that was actually used onsite in data centers was only 50 million gallons per day, the rest was used to generate electricity offsite. Most electricity is generated by heating water to spin turbines, so when data centers use electricity, they also use water. Only 0.04% of America’s freshwater in 2023 was consumed inside data centers themselves. This is 3% of the water consumed by the American golf industry.
