The ‚AI revolution sounds less worthy when it shows up as a warehouse-sized power drain next to your neighborhood
Honestly AI could have been wildly accepted and embraced but they have fumbled the ball so hard every step along the way that no one trusts it anymore.
It’s here to remove our jobs, monitor everything we do, and hurt the environment, while charging us more for everything, all so people can listen to a text box tell us that we were the smartest baby.
I personally was super into the future with AI and machine learning, until it just became a threat rather than a tool. Used to love watching people teach it to do things and walk and play games…
The billionaires benefiting from AI have not even attempted to conceal their vision of the world: Mass unemployment is their goal, and they keep saying that they will introduce some kind of paltry UBI scheme to keep people afloat, but then react in an extremely paranoid manner to even the mildest kind of wealth tax.
Nobody is interested in having a data center destroy their neighborhood while also worsening income inequality across the country.
People with common sense „We don’t want this“ People who outsource thinking „Ai IS GrEAt“
The law needs to catch up
Why dont the peasants want to pay more for electricity and water to pay for a data center that will take their jobs away and pollute the area they live in?
Makes sense. They obviously suck
Considering the fact that AI steals jobs humans are still better at while the data centers occupy massive swathes of land, pollutes rivers and drinking water, tanks electrical grids and sky-rockets costs, and benefits only the companies using them, it’s not much of a mystery why nobody wants AI or Data Centers.
Gosh, such a shame that the ‘One Big, Beautiful Bill’ that Repubs voted for in lockstep gives massive tax cuts and incentives to building Data Centers. Oh well.
I just keep asking myself what has AI REALLY done for me? Done to make my life better?
I can’t think of much anything at ALL.
I can see it for science and math and other high end stuff. But day to day normal life? I just cannot see the positive impact. Sorry.
However I know its screwing up the job market a helluva lot. And its upping utility costs.
I guess if you work in data center installation you are making money but that’s gonna go away once they don’t need more built.
Is there a video with just a hum droning on for an hour? It might come in handy at my meetings
Bro with how much clean power Texas has right now and with the willingness to actually build things including data centers Texas and Florida are gonna be playing on easy mode going forward.
I can’t really name a single thing that generative AI has done that is good for society, so why would I want its data centers raising my power bill, using up our water, and polluting with noisy diesel generators?
People don’t support data centers, but they still use chatbots like crazy. Like most things, it’d be nice if these people actually put their actions where their mouth is.
Reminds me of a reverse renewable industry and housing – everyone wants it in someone’s else’s backyard
No self respecting citizen or homeowner should want these things anywhere near their community or town. It’s like building a gigantic noisy dump next to your house that will only make your energy bills higher and lower your property values.
I don’t think there was ever public support for data centres, they just sprung up before people knew what was actually happening
Y’all voted for this they run you out of your farm and either a bigger farming company takes over or data centers buyout your land and build on top of it
I was just talking with someone about this.
You look at these city council and other local meetings over flock cameras and data centers and there isn’t any partisan politics in sight. Just local people side by side organized against their officials that go on to do exactly the opposite of what the votes comes out to be.
I think our national politics is pretty fucked but there’s a whole new avenue of political organization springing up that sidesteps the entire apparatus and is way more relevant. That’s what happens when the government completely stops being effective and is only sitting there cutting services and enriching themselves.
This is giving me the hope that I need to survive.
For the average of use cases, you can get by with a local model running locally.
If people are opposed to datacenters, those same people would be better off not giving these maniac more of your data and money to train their next models. Stop using their products.
I’m in a rural red county. No one wants it here and the residents are fighting hard against it.
Money talks people.
I think the irony is that we are tracking to such a ridiculous overcapacity in compute right now that successful anti datacenter campaigns are going to save some of the worst people’s necks.
I wish people would call this surveillance infrastructure cause that’s what it is.
Your average Joe does not not need AI.
Issue is they really don’t produce anything tangible or create enough jobs to justify the resources they consume.
These projects need to be fought well after the local government goes over citizens’ heads to approve them. Block their machinery, barricade roads, trench the earth. It’s time to stop pretending that civil disruption is the only option we have. Those who make peaceful revolution impossible make violent revolution inevitable. Destroy these sites so thoroughly that building them becomes impossible. Make this your council members’ problem until they finally break and lose everything if need be
EMP Market on the rise too.
i read the article, but it didnt make it clear, which party is for the data centers and which party is super super excited for the data centers?
Public support is dropping fast, mostly due to energy use and local concerns around data centers
Build them in the rich folks’ neighborhoods then. 💯
Has anyone checked on Kevin O’Leary?
