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.
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.
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.
