"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.

The aguments are local. Do you have the land, the water the electricity etc... The power consumption alone raises rates so that the economy becomes uncompetitive. Businesses will move out withput sweetheart deals, and the population will wither and die as power becomes unaffordable.
