      Just build your data centers on Mars! It’ll be a trial run of colonization.

      Perhaps should’ve let them build it, so the bubbles could’ve run higher and died faster.

      Damn, another article that doesn’t link the study used for the headline. Trash writing

      I think people will look back on the anti-AI movement similarly to how we look back at the anti-nuclear energy movement.

      With the capital investment they have putting an additional $50 mill into more city water wells and wind/ solar offsets should be marketing /public relations money well spent.

      $1.30 per VoltAmp of installed genset capacity is typical for the equipment with install.

      Lying about the size of these centers, stealing electricity and water from communities, and dumping black sludge into nearby creeks – why would anyone protest? Not to mention these will eventually be environmental disasters that they will abandon to taxpayers to clean up.

      Guys! We’re killing the economy! Oh noes!

      For real though, I do think machine learning will have good uses, but it is being way over-invested in.

      Just a reminder, the only reason Reddit exists is because of data centers. Same goes for mobile banking, the weather app….

      if it provided a measurable benefit to the local community, they probably wouldn’t have to deal with this.

      Wish they would in my city, but Texas is basically a free for all. 🥲

      Great, now do golf courses.

      Total water usage by golf courses nationwide annually: **531 billion gallons.**  

      Total water usage by data centers nationwide annually: **17 billion gallons.**

      At what point did the federal and state governments think the people became stupid. Everyone knows what the outcome is once they build them. Companies don’t care about people, the environment, or anything else accept profits and getting their way.

      It’s been mentioned in other threads but these projects generally have multiple candidate locations or the funding simply moves to new projects. Also it’s strange as many of the complaints are about power and yet only a few states have even considered just making the data center pay for grid and power upgrades. You don’t usually see projects of this scale that could pay for large infrastructure upgrades. They also cite things like water use during construction and they’re fully capable of setting pumping limits which is already a common practice.

      The technology or infrastructure simply isn’t there yet. We’re at N+1 data center scaling issue. All data centers are resource sinks. They need to disclose how much resources they use.
