Almost none of the data centers are going on federal land though which is kind of the issue, but even that wouldn't be a good plan. Yes very pertinent because the people who are getting impacted by the data centers have nothing material of real value in their life. They rely on…
@xlr8harder It's deliberate, of course. "Frontier AI can only be trusted in the 'right hands', and those hands are [insert oligopolist here]." This is how things like Google Play Protect became seen as "acceptable" means of "securing" a smartphone, after all…
@xlr8harder This one is mainly because of that, but also hunting, trapping, fishing & foraging land is getting destroyed. Simple things that would be easy to mitigate, but the big frontier labs just don't care🤷♂️🤷♂️
the sad part is this is entrenched to the point that it is never going away. we still have people covid masking. we'll have that, but for AI, and it will probably be a lot more people. please stop making it worse.
@xlr8harder...although at least stopping talking about end of jobs & / world is probably good start lol!
@xlr8harder EXACTLY, you get it!
we will probably still be hearing about datacenter water use ten years from now
