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.

Why are these data centers not taking over the many dead malls across the US? I can think of a dozen in my state alone. Or abandoned theme parks? I know they're just trying to avoid incorporated places and anywhere people actually care about environmental effects but this is ridiculous.
Mall real estate is expensive. Plus I bet it costs more to remove the crap on the land already. Undeveloped land is usually cheaper.
