I don't get it, why do we need so fucking many? Reading the thread about temps downwind from data centers and it's describing all the multiple HUGE data centers just around phoenix and it's just, like, why are they building so fucking many???

It's one thing to be like "yeah we're building a facility that uses more power than human civilization to power the Lying Machine" but it's like they're building fucking thousands of them. What the fuck is that?

Let's be incredibly generous and assume The Nerds invent intelligence, even then what is the fucking point of all this shit

yeah you say that though but the "completely wrong" seems to be really rare for the things I search for, and when I see people talk about how wrong it is I can't help but think their last interaction with it was literally years ago

When I say "it's better than I expect it to be" though like I mean I expect it to just distill me a bunch of reddit posts with errors throughout, but it's usually generally accurate (distilling those reddit posts, and yes, redditors don't know shit) and the time it takes me to suss out the Wrong Ass Shit it says is about equivalent to the time it'd take me to browse whatever Reddit thread it's stealing from to suss out who knows wtf they're saying

It's not enough for some to hate the technology they also have to convince themselves that it doesn't even work.
