Again, I have never in my entire life seen an issue that has so rapidly and thoroughly brought together people of every age group and political beliefs in a common purpose as the deep hatred of data centers and #AI being imposed on our lives. Politicians who haven't figured this out yet, irrespective of party, are standing on the beach while a gigantic tsunami is about to drown their political careers, as this has become a top issue that will drive voters.
@lauren I hesitate to blame the politicians. I think DC's will happen no matter what. The problem is the Tech industry ignored obvious public issues like added burdens on power and water. It seems to me that everybody should collaborate there are hundreds of superfund sites, abandoned buildings including factories. solar and wind power and water treatment all working together should make for a win win
@lauren
If all those people opposing the datacentres are willing to stop using LLMs and the free services that adtech companies provide, it shouldn't be hard for them to stop the growth in the number of centres...
@lauren Yes, comrade, AI is the third rail of this season. However, it is best to leave vital decisions to the vanguard party leaders. The people can’t be entrusted with such decisions. Of course, we can’t leave decisions to billionaires either. We should send billionaires to the fields to harvest crops. And those who don’t harvest their quota should be shot at sunrise.
