If you’re against AI data centers, how is it okay for you to post AI videos?

Dude the other day posted something he called a new theater in Japan that is 12D. It's such bullshit. No one in the theater is Japanese. Maybe the front screens, floors & side walls have screens/video but it had a LOT of fake AI added. He won't take it down even though we all called it out as fake.

I swear I saw this video 2-3 yrs ago (without AI) and this one adds all the mist, smoke water and the fake AI dragon between the seats. They tried to make it look like holograms but it was AI. Adding wind with fans and heat to shows for flames or fire effect are not new.

The ocean waves that crash it looks like it sprays water on the people look pretty real too. Now that I think about it who would want to go to the movies to get either wet blow it on or subjected to steam. 🤔

same way all people that profess to be against the republican destruction of America while patronizing "X", facebook, Instagram, Threads, Amazon, Walmart, Coachella, and the rest of the businesses of the filthy rich supporting trump & the GOP: they're blissfully ignorant hypocrites

Same as oil protests, the products are unavoidable. if you truly go oil free, you're no longer living in modern society. Shops use it, restaurants, manufactures, your kids use it, its on tv, youtube, everywhere you turn. This is now infrastructure/

everyone isn't using genAi, and the uses it does have are not essential and can be avoided. also, just because others do it, doesn't mean you should and doesn't make it right. slavery used to be legal and "everywhere" too.

I've been blocked and berated so many times for pointing this out. Having your clear hypocrisy pointed out makes people really defensive (and angry). They know it's bad, they just don't want to accept it, because AI is easy and it gets clicks. So many big names here only seem to care about clicks.

Same as the people who hate the oligarchy and still buy from Amazon, drive Tesla’s and use X… outrage is performative with Americans. South Africa collapsed Bell Pottinger not to mention SA was part of the coalition that took Israel to the ICC while America is eating glue at the back of the class

Its not the data centers, it's the tech companies's abuse of public utilities. They suck up all the available water and tax the grid causing rates to rise dramatically. They are trying to build on public lands too. They expect the public to suffer and pay for them to increase their billions.

It’s crazy! No progressive should EVER use AI to generate text & images. Generative AI is a product rooted in exploitation that drowns truth in irrelevance, reifies bias & asymmetrical power, damages cognitive abilities, degrades the environment & enriches the worst people on the planet. #boycottAI

Our Ontario government and federal government in Canada play nonstop AI slop ads across all platforms all the time, the Ontario Conservative Doug Ford government has been doing it for years. It’s torture, every radio station, every tv station. They even get you on YouTube, google, cribbage.

I think quite a few of them aren't on 'our side' but instead are bots and trolls pretending to be. They're trying to sow confusion. It works.

I don't think people are against Data Centers as much are they are against having one in their backyard with no apparent regulation. Information Technology will necessarily need to be socialized just like health care, education and child daycare.

I think at least some of the time people don't know the origin of what they share. There is also a sentiment against data center expansion that is not blanket opposed to AI usage. Idk how common either is, but strongly suspect the first is very common.

Not to be nerdly pedantic? But these new AI data centers are not for generating cat videos, imho. They're for molding 13th generation LLMs. And for turning enormous piles of our personal data into actionable intelligence. Still. The propriety of Gen AI is totally debatable. I'll only say this:

We can't have it both ways. Either Gen AI is bad, or not. Either we accept it ALL, or not. How do we decide? • Gen AI content has already been weaponized. It will get MUCH WORSE. • Most now seem to feel AI content is uninspiring slop. It's not good. We are tired of seeing it. And there it is. ✌️💙

It’s a fair question! While data centers do strain energy grids and water supplies, the tech is already here to make them much cleaner—like closed-loop liquid cooling and direct clean energy. Wanting to enjoy these tools while hoping for greener infrastructure can go hand in hand.

Important and fair points—supply chain human rights and data scraping ethics need real accountability across all tech. Wanting cleaner energy for data centers doesn't mean ignoring those issues; it's all part of the same conversation.

The fascism is strong is why We rationalize harms You could also ask, if you want a habitable planet, how is it ok for you to eat beef and dairy? people are taught to be BAD at causes and effects to keep them enslaved to the #ArmageddonCapitalism that's eating the planet out from under our feet

I have often wondered this myself. How also hate how it’s almost impossible to ‘search’ for anything on the internet with AI stepping in.

I'm satisfied with ChatGPT now, it works fine and im ready keep paying my 20$ for this service, it useful assistant and productivity tool. Hardly new datacenters needed. The question is: why they so crazy about constant growing? It isn't AI issue - its human greed issue, and your, God, fck up💅🤷

What USA thinks it's #1 in (and its actual rankings): Life Expectancy: 46th FreePress: 42nd Healthcare: 30th Education: 26th Happiness: 23rd Freedom: 17th What the USA is #1 in: Military Spending Number of Billionaires Incarceration Bankruptcy filings Medical debt Gun deaths Funding israel

Same logic as being against child rape and then voting for a child rapist. Or being anti immigrant and married to not 1, but 2 immigrants in the case of Polly poopy pants. You could open a cineplex with all the projectors in the republican party. Every statement is a confession of hypocrisy.

If you can do locally sourced Ai slop, its a little less of a crime imo xD What i mean, if its from your own device, but then again honestly? Just get in touch with someone creative if youre not, ok?

THANK YOU! the amount of blue resist grifters, burner accounts posing as dem voters, bot doing the same and others pretending to be on the right side of history constantly spewing out genAi filth is sickening.

History shows, putting Dems in control of Senate, Congress & White House will fix economy every time! Search the below question on Google for truth then share & comment! Did Republican presidents destroy the economy the past 35 years and a new Democrat president had to step in and fix the economy?

People aren’t against AI data centers! They’re against them not paying upgrade costs for electric! Against the loud noise! Against them not having their own water sources! Against them not having protections on the AI system to protect people! Against not having job training program for lost jobs!

It's alllll over here. Stupid animated dogs saying "come on down to our tiki shed tonight for mai tais and daquiris. Or AI Trump shit. Trump as an angry toddler. Strange, strange looking hideous charts, and if course cute little fake animals and pretty girls to make....idk some kind of point?

Talk to the kid at the keyboard making this stuff. I cant tell half of the time. If it sounds to good to be true then it probably is not true, does not work all of the time any longer. Forgive an old fuck with too much time on his hands.

It's hard to judge A I. from real people. It's almost like the John Birch Society going after people they think are suspicious when they're actually going after A.I. replicas. So could A.I. be after John Birchers?

"you're against capitalism, but you own an iPhone... Interesting" "you're against factory farms but you're eating a cheeseburger... Interesting." "You're against global warming but you drive a car... Interesting"

I would argue that those people are expressing and exposing their truest selves to the rest of us, and the onus is upon us to observe and note the digression between stated and actualized values

I am, and I don't, I wish everyone would stop. I won't even watch a youtube video if I don't think the person doing the voice over is a real person or if it's filled with rando images that 'almost' fit the narrative.

Right. And I do look for evidence of AI. And I don’t think I share it often but I do. If I don’t catch it being AI, please forgive me. The world is a shit show right now and I have a hard time focusing on all the bullshit.

I got one. I was looking for a logo for a while now. But I'm graphically uncreative. So I had AI create one, tweak it, tweak it again. Now I can take that to a graphics designer to make me a real one based on that. I could not have described what I wanted until I kinda saw it. But that's really it.

Hey! Using an AI concept as a reference is a great way to start. I'm a professional graphic designer & illustrator and would love to turn your concept into a clean, vector-based custom logo. Feel free to DM me here or email at jasmineblooms00@gmail.com to chat further!

1st - I don't post AI videos. BUT AI videos and images can be generated in minutes on any halfway decent laptop. People are not using data centers to make a funny video or a Trump meme. AI data centers that use vast resources are for other AI applications like Chat, coding, and crap like that.

Different animals. Much of the image manipulation and lookups are handled just fine with the traditional types of "data centers." These "hyper data centers" are needed for public surveillance, crypto mining and demographic tracking. They're more of a real-estate transaction, and over-leveraged.

Loads of ai sh!te and I block the account. There's fruckall need for it on social media. I like my cartoons drawn by humans. My news stories written by people. Human created art. (I'm also judging their sh!te ai against the huge environmental cost. Every time.)

Welp, some of it is getting harder to discern. Some AI content contains funny and/or progressive messaging. Artificial intelligence is a slippery slope for the ages. Those of us who matured quite nicely without AI prefer the beautiful simplicity of doing most of our own thinking and creation.

It is absolutely being crammed down my throat at work. I hate it. There have been so many meetings and trainings on how to use it. Emails about expectations. Meetings with me specifically about how to implement it. I hate using it at all because I’m opposed to it for several reasons

Yes,I get that. But before the data centers explosion there was still funny memes. They don't take a bunch of data centers those are for invasion of our privacy and spying on us probably.

AI isn't just videos and memes, which steals from real artists btw. Insurance giants are using it to deny claims in vast numbers. Law enforcement is using it to "predict" crimes. There is no good use of it. A person can't claim to be against those uses but think it's okay if it's a cute goat video.

China has a total of 300 data centres for the whole country. Trump just signed to allow 3,000 in US. It’s the quantity. Why does US need 100 x more when they have a quarter of the population of China? It’s not for the benefit of Americans thats for sure

I don’t have a problem with data centers or ai The issue is balance. Texas has 18,000 new data centers planned. Many are for Chinese companies. To me, ai isn’t intrinsically bad. And we need data centers even without it. But it’s gotten whack
