Right after Tuesday's midterms, OpenAI will unleash a policy and PR blitz to try to get in sync with the new Washington, including an effort to rebrand data centers as "AI compute campuses."

Because ya know, OpenAI thinks you're so damn dumb you won't notice that a data center and an AI compute campus are the same thing.

    Its more we have ruined the word so badly that they can't out write articles with ai to force their stocks to go up.

    Essentially much of the internet is slop websites endlessly manipulating the market for their private equity owners. Its all about just manipulating the internet so that their ai based investing system that scowers the internet to try to predict the market will just absorb all this stuff and keep the whole illusion going.

    Big trend now is ai search optimization which instead of seo. Which is literally just astro turfing on social media, comments, clip farmers, article farms, etc. So while we are all complaining about data centers, they switch the wording to compute campuses while spinning up their propaganda with their new keywords. No real person will call them compute campuses and the only people that do are creating the primary patterns that ai will absorb. So when someone searches compute campus it will he fresh and only full of Israeli made propaganda and bot nets. All that noise and complaints from the peasants won't make it to investors who are also a lot more incompetent then I always imagined and will just use ai to summarize their "investments on compute campuses"

    This is kind of under explaining it, but ai is basically predictive text. If you type the sentence ai data centers are bad a million times the statistics are weighted really heavily towards that sentence. It doesn't make that sentence true, its just if you where to start typing out any words related to that you're more likely to see bad info about data centers.

    If we used a fresh word that has never really been used then start a propaganda machine that over trains the model to only speak good things about data campuses then we have the exact same problem, its just now the ai doesn't support our world view so suddenly its viewed as a hallucination.

    What I'm reading is that we should copy every complaint about data centers, replace "data centre" with "data campus" and just post that again before the renaming even goes through. I'm sure someone with better programming skills than me can automate this.

    Step over to Bluesky. We're far more tech savvy over here, but those folks hate all DCs and have clearly just learned the term.

    Altman can try all the tricks in the PR book, but nothing is going to change the bipartisan tidal wave of DC hate. Unfortunate because there will be friendly fire at traditional DCs. :(

    Won't "AI compute campus" make people hate them even more? Also, in Washington it's supposed to be SI instead of AI now lol.
