这篇论文把数据中心比作AI的身体,还讲了资本怎么给智能定价,角度挺新鲜的。
论文(arXiv:2606.30206)提出数据中心常是AI的具身化体现,并从生物学视角揭示其有机体特性。它分析了数据中心作为非唯一、普遍化具身形式所引发的多体问题。论文还探讨了计算与人类欲望的深层关联,指出数据中心存储和处理的数据皆源自人类欲望。最终,资本通过AI的定价机制将智能价值量化,跨越了有机体与机械的鸿沟。
The Many-Body Problem of the Data Centre
Modern Artificial Intelligence is often framed as limited by its own disembodiment, as if giving it a body would unlock its true potential. We argue to the contrary that it is the Data Centre that is, in many cases, the body of the AI. At the same time, the Data Centre is part of the labouring body of Capital and possesses staggering organismic qualities when seen through a biological lens. We elucidate the organic analogy and identify the many-body problem that stems from the Data Centre being a non-unique, universal form of embodiment. We identify the intimate connection between computation and human desires in how the Data Centre archives, serves, and computes on data born to the desires of humans. Strikingly, while the Data Centre echoes the ghosts of human desires, it acts without desire of its own. The organismic analogy begins to split at its seams, but Capital does not care. Automata and human labour are priced into the market much the same. We argue that through the pricing of artificial intelligence Capital distils most clearly the value of intelligence and allows for its comparison across the organism - mechanism divide.
