Some families in Georgia are being forced to sell their homes or face government seizures to make way for powerlines. 70-80% of that power is needed for AI data centers.

You push one message to get public funds for the infrastructure. Then you push another message to get people to switch and become reliant on said infrastructure. Then you have control and the message doesn't matter. The data centers are literally going to be surveillance hubs for whoever pays money for the access. We don't need 30 data centers for image generation for your business presentations or the Siri to navigate LA for you. It's for the big shit like facial recognition and data crunching using every citizens personal information.

"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.
