"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"

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.

In Utah on Wednesday, State Senate President J. Stuart Adams—one of the most powerful Republicans in the state—lost his primary election after supporting a major data center development near the Great Salt Lake, in one of the clearest signs yet of the growing political risks tied to the industry.

That's a fair take. Any similarity or difference to the US's primary AI competitor (China)? I've seen the EU is now concerned by the US lead on AI and may possibly slide on regulations a little to play catch-up but that's yet to be seen.

America also seems to be placing these based on local tax situations, not local resources or community impact. Since China is more centrallized, I'd imagine they place them with a different strategy.

Of course both nations have immanent domain, it's a bit more difficult to justify its use in the US from my understanding. In China aren't companies ultimately controlled or owned by the government? So if the government feels it's of a national benefit or security I don't think there would be as much in the way.
