    This one crosses generational and political lines much more so than anti-vaxxers and the nanobots-in-the-masks crowd.

    One way to fight it might be to politicize it, ironically enough, with Trump’s approval under 30% on many issues, if we can label AI support as MAGA, that might slow the advance.

    In my town, MAGA supports data centers “because jobs.” Fucking idiots don’t know how few people it takes to babysit computers. The jobs are low-paying security, and a few IT staff, with the bulk of the work done off-site from other states.

      The problem is that there’s more AI than just LLM AI.

      Training a machine learning algorithm on a few thousand x-ray images doesn’t need multiple data centers or stealing copyrighted works.

      Beating you in chess and go is possible without burning fossil fuels.
