"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.

I have been saying for years that data centers are a drag on the local economy. Theyre like football stadiums. They benefit a small few while the rest of us pay for them.

Instead of a tax hike, we pay more for electricity. Happened here in Ohio. Stupid jackwagon politicians gave Meta, Microsoft, google tax abatements if they build here. So they did, they use a lot of electricity and now our electric bills are constantly going up. We get nothing in this transaction.

If your town proposes these leeches, get out there and do something before its too late.
