Comment on 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 | PC Gamer

  I wouldn’t say entertainment is a waste of energy even if there are nobler uses for the power.

      I dunno man. You ever see the infomercials for the magic bullet, or the slapchop?

      Fetticini

      Linguine

      Martini

      Bikini.

      Here’s a link. You can go inside of it and it’s essentially a huge concert venue. It’s clearly entertainment.

      I’d hate to be the one to use them after /u/buttfarts.

  There wouldn’t be an incentive or the capital necessary to instigate the build out of solar without the sphere. Yes, it would be great if someone did that. But the owners of the sphere specifically have a financial incentive to do so for the sake of lower energy costs. There’s not a lack of land or sun, so whether they do or do not doesn’t amount to a “waste” of energy - anyone else can build out solar production too.

  I saw several concerts there and it was awesome. You want to live a life without anything fun in it?
