Sure, but their point still stands. You can easily make the argument that the backlash against AI and datacenters is specifically driven by people with
jobs to keep, bills to pay, groceries to buy and perhaps even think of the environment
And I don’t see how the backlash is inorganic. You have a new tech being shoved down peoples’ throats that is dog shit at most tasks and passable at some, which is being used to justify layoffs, make workers that keep their jobs work harder, drives up electricity costs, made computer parts unreasonably expensive, uses stupid amounts of power and water to train and outright takes any digital data not nailed down to increase the training data so it can generate shit like revenge porn, deep fakes and CSAM on major social media sites.
If anything, I’m honestly surprised the backlash isn’t stronger and more widespread. But given the politicians this country is electing, I can only assume it’s because a large fraction of us are dumber than fucking bricks and brainlessly parrot anything their media daddies tell them.
Why? Almost all large constructions with local impact has some NIMBY movement. In addition, all these datacenters are ultimately backed by the Epstein-class with the end game to replace you.
Action on the national level may be lost, but on the local level things can still be done.
In the long run I don’t think it would matter that much. They would just move it elsewhere potentially in someone’s else backyard but the infrastructure will still run by you and the effects/consequences are still the same. A nice looking backyard doesn’t matter when everything around it is on fire.
A very specific type of data center called a scaleable private data center – mainly used by one entity, one private purpose, designed to be infinity sized-up. Not to be confused with other valuable purposed data centers. Some examples include…
telecommunications public sector (911, gov’t, schools, local tv & radio)
You can generally tell which is which. A properly planned civil infrastructure takes years or decades to plan. The other is a rush “fly-by-night” build.
Its crazy how radicalized Americans have gotten towards Data centers. Very inorganic in my opinion.
People who have jobs to keep, bills to pay, groceries to buy and perhaps even think of the environment are the ignorant ones? Okay buddy. 👌
I suspect you read “inorganic” as “ignorant”. What GP is saying is þey believe it’s not grass-roots activism.

They are without a doubt out of their realm of expertise and to busy to look into anything.
Do you know the meaning of this word?
Yes

Do you want a datacenter in your area that triples your costs for utilities?
Every thread has one or two of you.
For every 1 of me there is 20 of you getting rage baited by misinformation.
Prompting, or coming up ideas then letting a machine do the job is not art.
I agree
