"Hey, young people, we are going to take all your jobs and burritos and housing and give you a big 'fuck you' instead. Wait, why don't you like us?" So difficult to comprehend.

It is very easy to believe. A technology that is destroying the environment, spreading misinformation, and making job prospects bleak, being forced down our throats by idiot billionaires trying to convince us of their genius is pretty easy to hate.

I really think data center hate is AI hate. There's few physical things to protest against if your anti-AI and data centers have become a proxy. We've been building data centers for decades without incident up until the past couple years.

They weren't as big as AI ("hyperscale") data centers, they weren't rushed out so quickly that they outpaced the existing power plants, nor were the powers that be diverting the entire economy towards building them out. They were built in proportion to the need for actually useful services.

Data centers pretty much always sucked, but it was a more limited suck and the builders used to know they wanted to do most of it further away where they weren't competing so hard for resources (mostly water and electricity), to make it cheaper.

But now they don't care about that competition because they know they can bribe their way to top priority and lowest prices, so they're building right at the tap that was built for humans to use.

GenAI (clearly not real AI) has certainly accelerated it, though, and added extra features to it, such as killing the supply of consumer electronics components. But that's complementary, not core.

Oh no how dare us hate large buildings that take all the local water, have a loud buzzing noise that effects mental health, and is rerouting electricity away from residential areas. Have you even seen any of the reports? It's not just because of AI.

Why is it hard to believe? They're evil people monopolizing resources, exploiting people, and contributing nothing to society. Hopefully, other generations wise up. The BEST case scenarios for billionaires should be having their assets exporpriated for the benefit of the public.

Because they are screwing the future for profits? I mean it's not that hard to believe when most billionaires are assholes who will exploit precarious labor whenever they can and some of them are literal nazis?

I read the study and I think a cool thing here is that nearly half of them are fans of democratic socialism. bodes well for the left movement

Most everyone watching “Aliens” got the point & the message. But these clowns grew up thinking, “I could do better than Burke.” “Burke, I don’t know which species is worse. You don’t see them f*cking each other over for a percentage.” - Ellen Ripley

It’s not hard to believe at all as I’m a Gen X oldie and have fucking hated them since the 80s. I wanna know why the rest of you worship them so hard. That’s what’s unbelievable…

These people are working as hard as possible to fuck our future up as dramatically as possible. It's not really surprising. If there's any societal justice they'll need unmarked graves so they don't become latrines.

Of course they are. Without them, we wouldn't have to deal with these data centers to begin with. They made a conscious decision to build them, knowing the harm they do.

The young folk recognize miscreants for what they are. They are NOT geniuses which is what many older people think (I don’t. I’m with the kids). I don’t even feel slightly bad when I say they are parasites on society. Extraction is their game.

This sounds like excellent news to me. These guys told us all to learn to code and get a great job. Now they cannot wait to fire engineers and coders as fast as possible while college grads cannot find a job.

I am trying to figure out why this is so. The young do not trust and do not seem to agree with the great new robotic world these rich dudes are promising everyone. They want us to trust them but should we?

These geniuses are buying our democracy. Remove money from elections. Publicly fund elections. Give candidates the same amount of money. Do rank choice voting. Limit campaigning to three months before elections.

It's not just in the USA these parasites are despised - it's throughout the world. The younger generations are trying to find ways to cut them out of the future - hence the ever tightening grip on power - their days are numbered if the people of the world have a say (which they don't, for now)

Why is it hard to believe people hate the people that stole their future, are poisoning the world, and making everyday life impossible? What is hard to believe is that we, as a culture, allowed them to get this powerful in the first place. This entire system needs to be destroyed.
