    Not where i live: My country produced in 2025 around 20 millions of tons of corn and most of it was used for food production. And most of our culinary products are derived from corn; i write as i put some eggs and chilorio into a tortilla and shove it in my mouth.

    Also interesting that for a country like mine that consumes so much corn , corn syrup is only commonly used in the manufactured food industry. and even corn syrup that is bad for your health is ten times better than a technology that is used as an excuse to bomb children and impose mass surveillance. Corn is awesome dude , come have some tacos and stop coping.

    As commented above Our existing energy infrastructure does not exist separate from AI industries. AI Data centers is build on TOP of our energy and food production making them twice as wasteful. Our whole industries exist to support human life, not useless chatbots. What is worse, in your case, the United States: The endemic corruption; lack of energy infrastructure funding and the fact that energy regulations have been systematically destroyed with the help of lobbying by the AI tech Oligarchs themselves will make it so that more wasteful technologies than just Ethanol are used to power The useless AI bubble.

    So it’s insulting to hear people suggest that our current industries are separate from AI data centers. It is an anti-human attitude. Our industries can be improved, made more clean and human and AI in it’s current form and logic is doing the oposite.

      You are aware that the vast vast majority of people do not live where you live? That’s how living somewhere works.

        also i must push the point forward that no mater where you live; AI data center industries are not separate from existing energy and food infrastructure; but built on top of it and leeching from it, which makes the whole corn argument invalid. That aside from the fact that is inherently anti-human to try to try to compare our existing food and energy infrastructures with an emerging technology that not only hasn’t proved itself, it is plagued with corruption and manufactured hype funded by the worst oligarchs in the world.
