I feel a small bit of hysteria over this. I feel like DCs have become our side’s new easy thing to be mad at. They just don’t consume that high of a % of global resources, water, emissions compared to agriculture and aviation. Like a rounding error, even extrapolating out a few years. I think >

This is a disgusting waste of our precious and much needed resources when there are treeless lands available to use. Madness by our most powerful! They will only realize when it’s too late…we’re getting closer to that point everyday they continue to ignore human needs for a healthy environment!

AI data centers are grotesque abominations.

Thr best psrt us that since all demand for AI is clearly fake and overinflated, most data centres will go vacant, unfilled, bankrupt and abandoned, and that's just counting the ones being built, most won't even making it there, so there goes your pension fund! Enjoy!!!

Money talks, even empty money. But, is there really so much money to be made that justifies killing ourselves? I feel that the concept of "dead internet" could be expanded to "dead finances", just virtual money moving between bots without any real wealth being generated.

Ответ для Fikitus of Borg

The rich control the algorithms that control the markets. The house always wins.

Ответ для kwaipoh

That I get. What I don't get is how real is the wealth created by increasing shares and manipulating markets, instead of producing real tangible goods such as food, clothing and housing. Real enough for them to justify buying governments and destroying the environment, or so it seems.

As possible. We have the tech to create sustainable communities where people share instead of compete & care more about lives than material crap. But people want to be shallow & continue to exploit anyone who doesn't look like them. Americans created this out of ray cism & selfishness.

Where is this?

They took all trees and made them virtual 3D You can search them now on Google just to see them Keep on scrolling on your phone You're helping them get what they want done Subservient slaves just watching adverts

😢🥺😢🥺

Now all of a sudden, the animals are over populated.

Fucking tragic

Like cutting out a lung to buy a new pc.

Why won't data centers erase old data? Gmail won't erase old stuff, even old spam. Midjourney won't clear out all the "tries" created in the course of trying for one image. It all just keeps adding up infinitely. Just erase the damned servers you've already got. Am I wrong? (I could be).

Earth will suffer so humans can be spied on.

Brought to you by the self-centered, anti-human, anti-nature, pro-destruction of our environment, guy with the most money in the world but who needs so much more, Elon Musk.

There is a sickness in the USA. It’s always been there. But these days of technological dominance we are seeing a geometric rise in the destruction of our environment. To level a forest for a data center is obscene. To declare preserved land open for destruction Is a sin against nature. And us.

Ответ для tsm-pa

We used to have anti trust busting like breaking up standard oil and mama Bell, and also regulatory agencies that weren’t revolving doors who would actually help curb the worst excesses It’s a free for all now We need another 1930s Democratic socialist revolution to end the “robber barons”

Road to perdition and when the data center ai expectations nosedives the road to financial ruin opens up. For investors and the local politicians who ruin the quality of life and community

Man even as an I.T dude, fuck these ai centers man. I'm so sick of state and local governments just allowing this to happen, or having the damn audacity to seize land and force people off under eminent domain.

What a waste of space and resources #DataCenters

US Golf courses cover a surface area close to the size of the state of Connecticut. Data centres are a lot more useful to the general population than golf courses. Something to consider.

Ответ для Marc Patry

Golf courses remain mostly green spaces that support local flora/fauna and use reclaimed water as much as possible. Data Centers suck up way more fresh water, increase noise pollution, remove iseable green, and endager surrounding ecosystems and neighborhoods. Some spend all day cryptomining.

Ответ для givedogsthevote

The problem is not data centers as an idea, but the way they've exploited natural resources, local real-estate, and municipal budgets. They can exist is a better capacity. Those building them have the money and resources to do a far better job embedding them into the landscape.

Ответ для givedogsthevote

I'll agree with that!

Ответ для givedogsthevote

Sorry - golf courses are almost all environmental wastelands - deserts of monoculture grass, relying on massive amounts of fertilizers, pesticides and water. I'm no data centre champion - but we have to put them into perspective with so many other land uses that are terrible for the environment.

Ответ для Marc Patry

That is a hyperbolic take at best. They use several species of grass and are surrounded by native plants and woodlands that support a huge variety of wildlife species. They are great for organic fertilization and pesticide-free controls. They have come along way since the 60's.

Ответ для givedogsthevote

Between a native forest and a golf course, I think we both agree that there is no comparison. A golf course is only marginally better than a corn field when it comes to biodiversity and avoidance of the use of fertilizers and pesticides. I suspect you are an avid golfer? ;-)

Ответ для Marc Patry

I am not a golfer. I have a degree in landscape maintenance/horticulture and worked on golf courses. I have followed the industry for almost 20 years and watched how they have improved conservation, ecosystem safety, and resilience. But sure, data centers are totes same.

Ответ для Marc Patry

Nope. Fuck off

Same with golf courses... no? And massive parking lots... the "paving paradise" argument will not get you very far here.

Data centers create few permanent jobs typically 25 to 150 per facility short term construction jobs yes permanent jobs no. Tech co's routinely seek massive tax breaks to lower operating cost. They put a strain on local utilities and use immense amounts of electricity and water they are a bad idea.

People so dumb as to learn nothing from history or science. Ignorance will be society's death.

First storage drives were the size of a bedroom or more. Now you can fit many times that on a stamp. Data centers the size of a small town will likely follow the same path & need exponentially less space and power with every year delayed

Exactly

the times, they are a changin

Well that’s disturbing!

WHAT ARE WE DOING!!!!

Who gave permission to build it is what we want to know?

They only call them “data centers” because “mass surveillance centers” is harder to sell.

Horrible

Rather the trees

This is strait out of the Lorax.

Why do we not make them cover it with dirt and plant trees back? Like when we cover a highway with a park.

Send that to every person that just “uses ai to write emails”

This made me cry. How can we stop this destruction of our global assets (trees produce oxygen) into resource depleting PRIVATE money making enterprises??!!

I don't disagree with the principle but was it really necessary to out a filter on the bottom one so the trees that are still there look brown? There are plenty of examples of major deforestation without manipulating images.

Pave paradise, put up sprawling suburbs that force you to operate a car.

Disturbing

This IS the machine uprising we’ve been warning of

this is not good

@mark-carney.bsky.social supports this. Why else is there no env impact on data centers? He also wants that for pipelines, dismantling our existing env policies for money. One might think he has investments - skin in the game. Or is he just a soleless monster?

This is so stupid. Just run a model locally on your own machine and train it to do work relavant to you. This is a strategy to fence the entire internet into their own digital properties and manage the entropy using AI assisted mass data analysis. It's a data monopoly and surveillance state.
