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 (www.pcgamer.com)

The whole uses lots of energy therefore bad argument is complete bullshit. Energy usage is directly proportional to technological development and technology is effectively human evolution.

Las Vegas in general is a testament to the hubris of humanity and an admittedly impressive technical feat. Does it even exist without the Hoover Dam?

Look upon my works ye mighty and despair.

Normally I'd be suspicious of these kinds of megastructure projects but Vegas is the city that figured out how to get damn close to net zero water use from the Colorado so I'm willing to start off with the benefit of the doubt for the city leaders that ok'd this.

Is the 'dystopia-sphere' trying to compete with the torment nexus or something?

If they reversed it (displays inside), it would be the best immersive gaming setup ever. What a waste.

That’s what it is on the inside.

Wait, the article says it's "internal displays" but the picture shows images on the outside of the globe?

Yep, it is both. Highly recommend this amazing video from Eddie Burbank about it, very entertaining. https://youtu.be/KN63DDD9Y04?si=q6gE98LszfcPzBvy

They tried to build this abomination in London and it got shot down.

I guess they dont need to pay for heating when you have a bunch of high power computers pumping out a crap ton of heat

It also helps that it's in Las Vegas.

Wouldn't just one GPU be enough to run the Sphere, or a I getting something wrong?

I remember hearing about that it's not exactly high resolution, each "pixel" being a bunch of pretty large lamps.
