So, pedophiles and rapists are ok but data centers are where the line is...
All they hear is "more shock gloves needed"
What gave it away? The guillotine?
"If voters' perceptions of data centers are not fixed quickly, the campaign against them will expand far beyond Ohio," the party warns.
It annoys me to no end that they view the problem as perception that needs to be "fixed".
Not "hey guys, we need to find a better solution to AI" or "hey maybe we can do this more responsibility with a lesser environmental impact."
Just "we need to put out a PR campaign."
I was at someone's house, I forget whom, but I saw an ad their that was a complete PR campaign for data centers in Texas. I was in Michigan. The ad was spewing blatantly false info abt data centers like "Um, actually data centers help Texas grow stronger communities." People should know that the PR campaign has been ongoing for a while now.
They have a lot of money on this, expect everything.
If only it annoyed maga
It's impossible since the average AI is smarter than any MAGA out there.
Sometimes I think I've moved past pity but I definitely still cycle in and out
Data Centers are BAD because they're ~~KILLING People!~~ ~~RAISING Utility rates!~~ ~~DESTROYING Housing values!~~ ~~POLLUTED the local Air and Water!~~ Politically BAD!
-Republicans LITERALLY!
Oh no.
They’re going to politicize data centers and all of AI now, which means MAGA automatically gets on board.
Wonderful.
But Democrats aren't dummies. They see the same polls and are moving fast.
I’m not looking forward to this, either. To be more specific, Sander’s proposal for a national investment fund in frontier labs is one of the most horrific ideas I’ve ever heard. Now there's going to be a flood of similar ideas from politicians who, frankly, don’t know the first thing about the space.
Democrats are absolute idiots, they got pwned by Trump twice!
But Democrats aren't dummies.
lol the last decade has proven the contrary. I hate the MAGA party, but their rise to power is littered with the Democratic Party’s fumbles.
The Democratic Party desperately needs a changing of the guard to people with actual fire under their asses and don’t just exist to enrich a different group of billionaires. Mamdani is a good example of this.
For the most part, the Democratic party has only existed as controlled opposition. They fumble by design.
Now we have actual grassroots third-parties with an actual chance, and actually winning someplaces, because by and large the "democrat" base has realized voting democrat is just delaying horrible policy, not preventing it.

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.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.
