Yeah, they are paying for all the datacenters.

[–] halcyoncmdr@piefed.social 76 points 1 day ago (2 children)

The datacenters that largely received State tax exemptions, and only need a skeleton crew of people to operate. So they're not even contributing to the local economy.

Not the economy of the 99% anyway. I worry for the future of the world with these fucking things. Countries needing money are going to allow these to be built when companies throw enough money and lobby governments. The damage they will do to the environment will be tragic. So many are going up so quickly with not a thought to how they affect the area they're built. From what I have seen they consume massive amounts of fresh water and heat the air around them venting into the atmosphere. This is surely going to have lasting affects on the earth (if enough are built). The AI bubble is just inane, its money laundering at the grandest scale and it needs to be stopped before its too late.
