What I see is a few folks desparate to get their hands on the money and personal data of the working class. How many data centers do we already have? If the oligarchs weren’t so busy convincing society that ai is necessary for every single aspect of existence, they wouldn’t need new ones, we could devote all existing centers to actually doing the helpful things you’re talking about. Instead they’re devoted to performing web searches and making child porn. Haven’t you wondered why those desparate folks you see don’t already have their hands on the equipment? It’s because the people in charge don’t want to solve those problems, they just want to see line go up.
I appreciate your view. There are a lot of things wrong with society. And capitalism is a big one. But I believe your anger is misplaced - on the things rather than the people.
Thanks! I guess I don’t know what you mean though, are you saying I’m angry at things and should be angry at people or that I’m angry at people and should be angry at things? Because if you reread my last comment, clearly I’m angry at the people, not the things. And anger at inanimate objects is unhelpful, so I’m guessing that’s not what you meant? Honestly asking, not trying to be a dick.
Regardless, I still don’t see a reason we need more data centers when most of the ones we already have are societally useless, if not fully destructive.
