I visited a data center in Phoenix. It was located in an industrial area near the freeway. I don't recall the hum, but the exterior AC units were on the opposite side of the entrance.

#AI Data Centers are very different in their use and energy consumption than regular ones. We need guardrails Call Congress support the moratorium 202-224-3121 Use @resist.bot to amplify the calls resist.bot/petitions/PC...

I wonder how big a factor in this is that the A.I. boffins have been in the headlines showing themselves to be condescending, un-humanitarian creeps?

Funny how people always feel like they’re not being told the whole truth, and when they find out they’re not, in fact, being told the whole truth, and haven’t been for some time, they get pissy and start asking questions.

this article is straight up misinformation, acting like data centers used to be fine and people are just overreacting now that we’re complaining about them. 🤦‍♂️

just like nuclear power plants, data centers are a fine project but much too big. it reflects poor decision-making on the part of the tech company. then one bad thing leads to another. if nuclear plants were smaller and more manageable in the 70s and 89s our country would have a better grid today.
