"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.

The Senate GOP campaign arm, in a private memo to top AI companies, warns that toxic views of U.S. data centers are killing the party's chances of holding a vital seat in Ohio.

"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.

actually data centers help Texas grow stronger communities

I mean, if they look at it as something that makes a community band together against, they're absolutely right
