Bernie Sanders und AOC drängen auf ein Moratorium für den Bau von Rechenzentren

Might be some larger issues at hand rn

Dumb. These data centers aren’t being built just for AI workloads. These also need to be built to support growing demand for cloud, streaming, IoT, gaming, etc. If you don’t want these built then vote with your wallet and time and stop using the internet.

I see a lot of people pointing out problems here. If you know the chance that your bill passes is literally 0% you don’t really have to think through the nuance. This isn’t real potential legislation so much as showing they’re **trying** to do something about it. I’m not going to say there’s no value, but I think there are definitely better ways to address any problem this might be designed to address.

AI-controlled surveillance? Let’s get some privacy protections in the US for once.

AI-controlled weapons? Ban it until they can demonstrate safety precautions. I use AI, and it’s not ready to make deadly decisions.

Water for AI? Let’s get some states together and work on water rights reform, find the ways water is wasted, etc.

I don’t have easy solutions (that couldn’t be easily circumvented) for AI replacing real workers, especially junior devs. It might be too late to put that genie back in the bottle.

Are we worried about crypto farming and standard datacenters, like the one reddit and your phone/computer backups run on? I’ve got plenty of ideas for how we address those things.

A sloppy blanket moratorium is never in a million years going to happen, even with most Democrats, and just makes everyone involved look disingenuous IMO.
