The AI has worked out that it’s what the sandwich turns into so giant gnarled turds must also be appetizing.

They’re even threatening to make me basically lease my video games.

it's also a physical manifestation of big tech. like, you made a giant box does surveillance, child porn generation, and psychosis affliction and you put it up in a day while cackling about the social harm you're doing, and you're surprised people resent that?

All of the above, both of you.

but guys, they don't use that much water. hello? glonzo much anyone? look at this steel mill, doesn't it look dirty and stinky?

Yeah for sure.

THIS!!!

Get their asses Juniper

People aren’t idiots thestandarddispatchandmail.substack.com/p/the-anti-t...

Also how like for years yimby folks have been begging their cities to build literally any infrastructure and seen miles of red tape and then those same cities decide to donate land and give huge tax breaks for these monstrosities ... like oh so we can build things then

Original data centers Do it

they are professionally unaware because of course it'd threaten their jobs.

The thing that pisses me off the most about this is that they then subsequently DESTROY the book (regardless of its rarity or importance) because that's how the copyright dodge works...

We’ve been told “we don’t have the money to build housing! Or HSR! Or infrastructure! Or hospitals! etc.” for years and years, then we watched 600 billion dollars (in America, in 2026 alone) get poured into AI data centers that produce zero value. Of fucking course everyone is pissed

i used to think "what's wrong with being centrist" and then seeing more and more they're just reticent right wing has radicalized me.

That one is almost definitely on somebody's payroll.

It's also one of the few issues I've seen that unites people on the right and left

Well theyre paid to be confused about it, so that tracks tbh. The centrists whole job is to look at what fascists are doing and go "aww shucks, its really complex, I could t begin to explain or understand it. but im pretty sure this is the lefts fault."

*long before 2023

Yeah... We've been kinda pissed about the whole rich arseholes destroying the world in the name of increasing their personal "wealth" for quite some time now. And SURPRISE most of them are doing that with bullshit tech they're trying to stuff down our throats.

Why are people mad at all these great guys who keep giving me money?

hell, it’s obvious if you’ve *interacted with technology* in the past decade

It's not even tech backlash! It's just *shitty* tech backlash. I loathe "AI" and its datacenters more than words can express, but when I see news about mRNA treatments, robotics that *aren't* pretending to be humanoid just for hype points, and other actual advancements, I get as excited as anyone.

They are paid to be confused ("confused") by it.

that's what that ecosystem is for

they only talk to people who's net worth is greater than $10 million or people who are paid to say what the wealthy people want

whole class of ppl who live comfortable lives that absolve their bullshit with charts

if centrists were capable of comprehending the world in any way then they wouldn't be centrists

Came to say the equivalent of this.

data centers are pumping pollution directly into the neighborhoods people live in giving them insane health problems, you'd have to be a grinning fucking moron to NOT oppose them.

even "tear to open" and "zip to reseal!" technologies have gotten worse under both Trump and Biden

Oh, I'd say that they're definitely watching one side with more hostility and skepticism than the other.

Not really, they only talk to each other.

No notes

We just need to convince the american right that data centers are woke somehow and everything will fall into place

Every time there's an update, they are trying to steer you to their version of reality or companies who benefit financially from the misdirection attached to their search engines. Also most often uodates are not user friendly.

It’s wild to me that there are 3 acre megabuildings whose sole purpose is to prevent me from reaching a living breathing human being who can actually solve my problem whenever I contact customer service.

The broligarchy seems to think they can convince people to like them if they can get the public to understand just how cool the lives of the broligarchs will be when everyone else is dying in concentration camps.

The sole original driving force behind genAI was idea of making the exact genre, actors, scenes and dialogue of porn the individual desired. Everything else was an excuse made afterwards.

I keep having people tell me I don't understand the data center need. I'm a security engineer who hates almost every piece of tech I'm forced to work with. I"m so deeply informed.

Its wild how much less resistance they would get if they offered more people a bigger cut of the pie, but they are pathologically incapable of peeling a few bucks off their billions

but at least i can ask a computer how to put out a fire and it'll lie to me

my biggest fear is losing chatGBT

Computer AND phone.

are you sure it's not got something to do with cyberpunk instead? the gamer avocado toast

Ok but,

Hm? naaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Yes, but aside from technology getting worse, costing more, building a surveillance state, destroying the environment, and being owned by a wealthy elite who support a fascist regime willing to sacrifice humanity for their own power, what are the specific objections to data centers? /John_Cleese

So,they'll see it simply as a public relations issue-buy a shitload of ad time and donate a ton more $'s to key politicians and back on track for big data...right?

To add to costing more, data centers use a crazy amount of power. Throw in the environmental concerns, the few long term jobs it makes, the noise, and local politicians doing shit like arresting protesters for going seconds over a 2 minute allotment at council meetings, its the perfect pr disaster

A massive amount of random data has been collected on us all for years, especially since the advance of the internet and smartphones. AI will undoubtedly be used to convert that mass of data into meaningful information. Remember the old quote: Knowledge is Power? That's what this is all about.
