Any of you read the article that OpenAI wrote? Here's a quote: "The operation sought to exploit and amplify existing public concerns about energy prices and local impacts of data center development, but we found no evidence of meaningful breakout beyond its own activity ." So it's less "China is making you hate data centers" and more "they tried but it didn't work".
More like "We tried to blame it on China but couldn't find evidence to back up our accusations"
But we put the accusation in the title anyway, confident that no one will read anything else.
It turned out people didn't need China to find reasons to hate our data centers.
This is valuable because it shows that China believes this is a wedge issue they can use. Doesn't really matter to me if it works or not tbh, just that it aligns with their interests is concerning. It would be really interesting if we had info about what other topics China or Russia are investing time into and how they align with domestic political clusters.
Just brainlessly taking openAi at their word. And then just randomly adding Russia in their, out of the blue, because to the fascist westerner "Russia and China" is just a single undifferentiated horde of evil foreigners.
.. You believe openAI, why?
