    Remember when Pixar and DreamWorks destroyed hundreds of thousands of acres of farmland in order to erect enormous Gray boxes filled with computers that run complex operations 24/7, consuming massive amounts of fossil fuels and fresh water, leading to unmitigated pollution; not to mention political corruption, global surveillance, rolling back privacy protections, and economic gangsterism that hasn’t been seen in 100 years?

    You act like data centers are a new concept that was invented in the 2020s. We’ve had data centers even before we had the Internet.

    Rich assholes make those kind of decisions to pump trillions into AI pipe dreams, just like the rich assholes who run Hollywood.

    The fact that we find ourselves in these patterns over and over shows that the ruling class has learned to fuck us in a way so that we complain but not actually try to do anything to change society. Which shows the lack of actual freedom we have in order to live by our actual human impulses.

    That’s because we’re too scared to project violence to solve the core problems. The best we have is useless protests that don’t sway psychopaths, because psychopaths don’t have feelings.

      The incredible scale of data centers that are trying to be built out with for AI is environmentally catastrophic in BOTH energy and water usage. That is new. Don’t condescend the rest of us by conflating the idea of some data centers and an enviromentally catastrophic amount of data centers, it is a lazy way to make an argument.

      That’s because we’re too scared to project violence to solve the core problems.

      Violence doesn’t solve core problems you dangerous idiot.

        Then, tell me, what’s the next step after protests that do nothing and failing to convince cult-programmed individuals to vote correctly?

          Definitely not to tangentially encourage people to do violence on a thread about an unrelated topic.
