“Data center protests are now left wing terrorism” - some Trump shithead
Good thing it seems almost everyone fucking hates data centers including rural people.
Calling it SOCIALISM to HATE Data Centers will NOT backfire on your REALLY DUMB Followers who hate Data Centers and are being told THAT makes them Socialist!
"Its socialism to not raise your utility bills by 25-50% " will play well lmao
Good.
This is all so easily avoidable if they would spend a little more money to make them quieter, water efficient, and pay for their own energy. The technology exists. We could engineer a solution.
But I guess it's cheaper to bribe a few councilmen.
My company does exactly these and more.
Top-of-the line ultra-quiet low sulfur generators used only for utility outages.
Closed-loop water cooling means the toilets use more water in a day than the cooling does in a year.
Paying for the construction of the local infrastructure needed for twice our usage of electricity. We leave things better after we build.
We do these every day. No one notices because bad news leads. There are certainly bad actors. And no one cares to think any further than that. Subtlety and nuance in understanding technology is dead.
I feel like this is less a subtly and nuance thing and moreso a quite a few data centers particularly AI ones are built and maintained like shit. Frankly this is moreso a discussion of corporate malfeasance and lack of regulations on certain industries than a technology discussion, though obviously a lot of it is wrapped up in the AI shit because it's the current fuckfest of a nothing tech that's causing problems but I do remember similar issues building up during the crypto shit it's just now with AI.
They'll get protested anyway since those aren't the real motive behind the protests to begin with.
Ok but all that stuff is expensive. Why don't we use up all the resources that are priced at human wage levels since we have infinite investor money to work with?
