Data center proponents generally argue that the facilities will provide jobs and sustain the American lead in the global AI race. Opponents, meanwhile, urge that the infrastructure projects are associated with dangerous pollution, spiking energy costs, and loss of natural land. And then, of course, there’s the noise.
“We don’t need a data center in a community, let alone two hyperscale data centers in a community of less than a population of 12,000 people,”
I’m perfectly fine with losing the AI race.
We don’t even know what winning or losing would look like and even the fucking loonies pushing this shit can’t take a guess. “Bro, you should start hitting your dick with a hammer now if you ever want to win the Under Armor Cock Abuse Challenge. Bro, you’re going to lose the Under Armor Cock Abuse Challenge! Do you want China to win? Because that’s what will happen if you don’t hit your dick with a hammer. I use a small sledge daily. Yeah, I’m up to a sledge now.”

I’ll wait.
