I know you are doing memes here, but I’d like to point out that the AI’s output (in a big tech “human replacement” situation) isn’t the end product, it is merely marketing, propaganda of the “ultimate solution”, worthy of throwing all the computing power in the world at it, at the expense of you ever owning any.

It’s mimicry so impressive, you are no longer even worthy to touch the same brush, to hum the same tune, to stroke the same ink upon the page.

They will take it from you for you simply do not understand. After all, how could you?

I love that their solution is to not use the thing that the data centers are supposed to be for.

I'll be so sad when the CEOs get Luigi'd.

People will be sacked for turning up to work smelling of sweat. Such fun times.

It will be 100 degrees and data centers will be draining local water supplies, while residents will be told not to water their flowers or take too many showers.

Wasn't this already the case like 2 years ago in Texas? Except I remember the governor telling people to drink less water and shower together when possible to save water for the data centers.

California also has the stupidest water rights with “use it or lose” it clauses that counters any incentives to become more efficient. A couple families control a ridiculous amount of water rights.

The children only matter in election cycles

Why spend all that money and resources cultivating actual intelligence?

Here comes Abbot's elementary comedy series, where they build a big stadium, but they can't afford to fix the lights in the school.

Get your passport while you still can

Are they in cahoots with the PACs that support pro AI candidates? (Are they the same groups? I really don't know.)

In Virginia ads are still running about not leaving rural Virginians behind by banning data centers. Claiming that they will bring jobs to the rural community but those nasty politicians are banning the progress of data centers.

Clearly you were talking about doing this in Minecraft, so its okay.

I'm just amazed at the grotesquely huge amounts of copper they have in those datacenters.

I also hope that data centers "don't" get burnt down. How "un"satisfying would that be. While I'm at it, I hope no one kills the trillionaire.

Improve the cooling system first. We are talking about Marvin, right?

If you Google the model number their AI will sometimes list the 20 tons of armor as an option like you could just order it that way.

Educating the kids would be a waste of taxpayer dollars. The only training they need is how to mow the grass around the data centres.

I never understood why we’re supposed to need to be ‘taught’ how to use AI if it’s so good at natural language processing. If the reference desk librarian can understand it and give you what you actually want (not necessarily the exact thing you’re asking for), so should anything being touted as AI.

Maybe they just want people to waste time pointing spiderman fingers at eachother for not turning off their computers.

Less AC needed.

Close to zero unless forced. The question is who will do the forcing?

Seems unlikely unless the bubble survives another 5+ years. My guess is power companies are taking AI contracts and cash now, promising to add capacity later, and then when the bubble pops they will shrug, say no more capacity is needed, and give the CEOs a huge bonus.

The local government doesn't pay for the data centers electricity though, at least not directly. This is their rate going up so they ask their public facilities to save energy. It's a reasonable response from them, but they should have prevented it by not allowing so many data centers.

Yeah but public schools are notorious for being insanely rich!

Schools simply don't seem like a big consumer of electricity other than just normal stuff that any building will use (e.g. lights and HVAC).

plus schools dont even use power during summer or winter months, since theres no classes in session. excluding summer courses.

Contribute nothing to the community? Are you crazy? They use lots of water. They make a lot of noise. They are typically eyesores. That's a contribution.

Of sorts.

they contribute higher gas,electiric, water cost to the community, and pollution.

Nah, they should be forced to stop operation until they build renewable power plans that produce 2x the energy that they consume in one day.

They should benefit the community, not just be a net 0.

i know a great way to disconnect them but the center owners won't like it
