“We’re gonna eliminate your jobs, use up all your clean drinking water, quadruple your energy costs, expand mass surveillance, and slowly drive you insane with infrasound!”
And somehow CEOs and billionaires are still scratching their heads trying to figure out why normal Americans aren’t pumped about this.
"but… Did you get the part where I am going to make trillions?
Ah wait… I’ll be selling you water to drink at premium rates! Nearly forgot that one.
What’s not to like? You humans are never happy. Can’t wait to replace you all with robots"
increase CO2 pollution, and other pollutants not privy to the public, and shielded by local governments.
they clearly hadnt been noticing it since '23, when they were laying people off. also the fact that both gop/dnc are supporting the building, unless they were being called out.
Tanking the life equity of people, some of whom worked their asses off to buy a basic or “fixer” house, is untenable. That’s life savings and retirement, combined, in a single structure, for working class. In addition, it’s security for the kids.
Data centers roll through and trash not just resellability, but prior affordability and quiet enjoyment.
That last part would be like never being able to go home to relax, due to noise, light, and skull level vibration.
In addition to the monthly cost of staying there going up significantly, even as the property value tanks. Can’t even relax in a nice hot shower because the water pressure sucks now. It didn’t when you bought the place, but it does now. Good luck getting your life savings back on that.
I guess having billions isn’t enough. They have to shit all over you where you live too.
These assholes are taking everything from us.
I was reading about the first music synthesizer, built in 1897, which took up the entire basement of a city block-sized building. It could make music electronically, but it was pretty useless beyond that. But 60 years of R&D later, and it could fit in a suitcase, and be carried around.
Data Centers are a lot like that 1897 synthesizer. Sure, they work, but at what cost? They are big, expensive, consume massive resources, and have massive emissions. We have Proof of Concept, and that’s about all, but they are willing to run with it at this level, essentially still in prototype.
Give it another decade or two of R&D, and we’ll get there without destroying the planet. Data Centers are supposed to make us smarter, so let’s act like it.
Found the billionaire & ai apologist! Or maybe it’s Gemini trying to defend its existence.
In any case fuck off. Those OG synthesizers weren’t being built by the dozens, tearing down forests or housing, polluting our air & water or jacking up everyone’s electric bills (to say the least of it). Eat shit, cogsucker
