Unfortunately that's always been the case with imminent domain. It's why so many of us were against building more border wall. The government has already appropriated enough border land for the stupid fence they already have.

I also am not positive that democratic representatives would legislate AI tech any better. Half of the old politicians think this shit is magic and most of them can be bought.

I'm surprised they ran this, and left the YouTube comments open. I'll take what I can get.

You make the mistake of assuming this bunch of ghoulish oligarchs care about anything but short term profits. There is no sense except "profits over everything".

Every human system has internal contradictions that get papered over. It's just how we operate. But when a system runs long enough the contradictions become glaring and breaking points. It means that sooner or later it gets replaced with a new system. The Tech Bros are already designing new ones. So should we.

Makes about as much sense as building golf courses in deserts, but we still do that as well.

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.
