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.

Right every time data centers are talked about they say how many jobs they are creating.
But they never mention that the majority of jobs are temporary migrate labor in construction roles.
Once it’s built there is basically no one there. I imagine they create less jobs than regular warehousing since they at least need forklift operators and schedules etc.
A data center is just a computer the size of a building how many people does it take to physically run the place. Don’t really hear much about this.
Especially since the entire selling point of ai in general is to eliminate jobs.
Obviously it depends on size, but a half dozen to a dozen people can operate mid sized data center. Many or most of the jobs are security personnel, not actual operations staff.
Remember, they are all largely unmanned and very prone to electrical fires.
Release the opossums!
