冰冻拘留设施的所有者在人工智能“人营”中看到了巨大商机。
Owner of ICE detention facility sees big opportunity in AI man camps

大型人工智能数据中心的快速建设正在推动“工人营地”的繁荣——这些营地历史上曾被用于偏远油田工人,例如德克萨斯州迪肯斯县的一个大型数据中心改造项目所支持的营地,提供健身房和食堂等设施,以容纳涌入的建筑工人。 Target Hospitality公司被委托建设和运营这些营地(包括迪肯斯县场地的1.32亿美元交易,可能容纳超过1000名工人),将数据中心建设视为重要的增长机会。然而,Target Hospitality也运营着备受争议的迪利移民处理中心,该中心面临拘留人员食物安全和医疗保健不足的指控,引发了人们对该公司从技术进步和移民拘留中获利所产生的伦理担忧。

TechCrunch的一篇文章详细描述了一家冰冻拘留设施的所有者如何利用对人工智能基础设施的需求,通过创建“人工智能男工营”来获利,这在Hacker News上引发了讨论。这些营地将容纳建设数据中心的工作人员,让人联想到凯特·比顿的《鸭子》中描述的油田“男工营”。 评论员表达了对伦理影响的担忧,将这些设施与剥削甚至潜在的囚犯劳动联系起来——甚至可能由囚犯自己进行劳动。 几位用户强调了这种情况的反乌托邦性质,并提到了与监狱劳役项目和更广泛的阶级战争问题的相似之处。 讨论还涉及这些营地可能独立于当地社区运营,依赖柴油和星链等资源,并质疑法规是否阻碍了类似、经济的住房解决方案在合法用途中的应用。

To house the hundreds or thousands of temporary workers needed to build an AI data center, developers are increasingly relying on temporary villages known as man camps.

This style of camp was popularized as housing for men working in remote oil fields. For example, as a Bitcoin mining facility in rural Dickens County, Texas is converted into a 1.6 gigawatt data center, Bloomberg reports its workers are living in gray housing units with access to a gym, a laundromat, game rooms, and a cafeteria that grills steaks on-demand.

A company called Target Hospitality has signed multiple contracts worth a total of $132 million to build and operate the Dickens County camp, which could eventually house more than 1,000 workers.

Target apparently sees the U.S. data center construction boom as its most lucrative growth opportunity, with chief commercial officer Troy Schrenk describing it as “the largest, most actionable pipeline I’ve ever seen.”

Target also owns the Dilley Immigration Processing Center in Texas, which holds families detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Court filings have alleged that the center’s food has had worms and mold, and that children have suffered without accommodation for allergies and special diets.
