"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.

I may try to be brave and actually attend these. But I need real reasons (not just "the expansion of mass surveillance tools like this erode democracy and push us into fascism. Destroy all billionaires")

The water usage thing is basically debunked. The people dont care what data they are actually storing. All I really would have is, land use, noise, and power consumption. Maybe about how theyre recording you at every turn with flock? Which any factory being built would do the same. I just feel like I can't actually make an argument in front of normie's who dont really realize what's at stake here and have zero clue about technology in general.

It's basically a gasoline powered power plant. They claim to use the gas generators as a "backup" but apparently backup means a good fraction of the time. It costs millions, generates only a couple jobs during construction, and that's it. There's no value to the community. It's a power plant that sucks energy off the grid, raises electricity prices. The end.
