A while back everybody seemed to be welcoming to Al. Did people not know that this was going to happen? I was one, who wasn't convinced Al would make things better.
Physical and mental health is the problem. Potentially killing off insects and crating subtropical micro climbers with weather phenomenon is the problem…
After the data centers pollute your air with particulates and noise, exhaust your water supply, and wreck property values you will be left with nothing.
The wealthy elites are very interested in building out data centers across the world in order to install a surveillance state incorporating AI into a control grid network. The primary agenda is to control the population and manipulate humanity into doing what they ultimately want. Pass this along to help citizens wake up to this unfortunate truth.
The planning commission of my city allowed a data center to register as an office building and skip permission from the city, and thus its residents, to be approved. And they could care LESS that it’s gonna use 56,000 gallons of water daily. I asked all seven city planning commissioners to resign and the city council to remove them and they pretty much laughed. They don’t give a fuck
Unpermited power plants are a big red flag. Federal compliance to all the permits necessary to build this type of infrastructure have all been enacted for real reasons and need serious review.
All that land, water, and electricity just to feed people AI slop and turn them into bigger idiots. Government AI use has malicious intent and there’s a hard limit on financial returns for academic AI use. The money tech companies hope to make developing AI is from replacing human labor and eventually charging for AI services people are currently using for free.
When our enslavement comes we will be too stupid to cut the power off

Crazy how "the cloud" is actually just massive warehouses eating up all the local power. I wonder if these small towns are even getting a fair deal on the taxes, or if the energy grid is just going to tank for everyone else. Interesting look at the cost of AI.

Oh wow, I had no idea it was getting this heated! It’s crazy how these huge tech companies just move into small towns and flip everything upside down. Do the locals even get a say in this, or does the money just talk? Really makes me wonder where all these buildings are actually going up.

It's a tough trade-off, June. I wonder if the promised economic growth ever truly outweighs the loss of local identity in these towns.

Good morning, everyone. It’s wild to see how these massive data centers can spark such intense local disputes. It really makes you think about the balance between progress and preserving a small town's character. Do any of you live near one of these hubs? I'd love to hear your perspective.
