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.

If you look at the city of Tehran, right now, they are talking of evacuating a city of 15 million souls because - no more water.

If reports are true, much of the us southwest is only a fee years and one bad rain season away from the same fate.

Allowing these monstrosities to consume all your potable water just seems like madness.

Let’s attack these places en masse and burn them down.

And they are building 27 of these fucking things around my area with no oversight from the community. There was supposed to be meeting with the company building one in Coweta, it was going be a chance for the public to speak out. But company canceled the meeting.

City council approved this data center without and of the community input.

There was an article recently about Zuck and how he's apparently running a school out of his house (compound). His very rich neighbors have been complaining and reporting it for years and nothing has been done. There is a level of wealth and power that people we think of as wealthy and powerful can't even imagine. That's what we're all up against. The whole of the upper class can't even contain these people, what chance do we little people have? There may have been a time where the people really did hold the power, but if it ever did exist, it is behind us. Not to be a doomer about it. I really do think we can and do have an effect, but things are rough right now. Hard not to feel defeatist.

Similar story here, Google is building one nearby and it got approved with no announcement and no community input. They are using our drinking water supply for cooling, and won’t say how much water they anticipate using at capacity. We have a lawsuit ongoing to try to get them to tell us how much of our water they will use, and they’re refusing on grounds that it’s confidential corporate data.

It’s a total mess, and such a waste of valuable resources.

Genuinely I wish someone would put sugar into their concrete, like we need more direct protest of this shit

I watched the video included with the article. One of those poor, poor seniors was asked whether she was kept informed. She said no, saying she only gets updates from the internet and her Facebook.

I'm not the first to ever say it, but there's a clear lack of infrastructure when someone still turns to the very same company's platform for updates and barely knows what's going on. There's no respect for community here, no involvement of stakeholders, no thought to the people who live there. For what? A corporate installation that may be built on fuddy duddy accounting to keep up appearances for an AI Bubble?

Its by design. This is another gilded age.

Read the headline and thought: that's going to be a red state. Clicked on it and confirmed.
