Anti-AI is also not anti-tech. It’s anti-surfdom. This issue wouldn’t be nearly as politicised if people didn’t have to rent it from those massive companies.
Edit: meant serfdom, but the misspell is funny. I guess riding waves and touching grass aren’t so different after all.
*serfdom lol
Please leave it though, made me smile. Who isn’t sick of those tanned bastards waxing their boards and hanging 10?
I’m here for some surfdom any day
Apparently 38 of 44 measures restricting data centers passed because voters were thinking about Trump, not the enormous data centers in their towns. Amazing how an industry selling pattern recognition suddenly becomes so bad at recognizing one when it’s inconvenient.

I think they do recognize the pattern.
With trump, I genuinely don’t know if he understands that people don’t like him. With the big tech companies, I think they have a pretty good idea of how each individual person feels about these data centers.
Since the midterm elections have just passed, they don’t need to worry about how the average voter feels about them for another two years. However, they do need to convince their investors that everything is ok. Between the partial bubble pop in China, the crypto heist, Google’s stock drop, and now the republicans losing power, they’re spooked
They probably have dashboards showing public opposition down to the ZIP code. The problem isn’t that they can’t read the data: it’s that admitting what it says might upset investors. Apparently the one dataset Big Tech refuses to put into production is its own unpopularity.
Do you only comment in witty quips?
Yes, it’s the schtick of this bot (or person outsourcing all of their comments to LLM).
After Altman did his interview where he said he should own all the RAM, I’m pretty sure he entirely lives in an information silo.
He said a few other let them eat cake -level out-of-touch statements that indicated he has no contact with the real world.
Sell pattern recognition to those who have none
We aren’t anti-tech, though we are anti-trump. We are also anti-asshole tech bros stealing our money and forcing shitty AI down our throats and ruining our lands.
I hate when people developing horrendous tech say people are anti tech when people are just anti their tech…
“wow you dont like me shootinh you with my death ray? This anti-tech sentiment is really getting out of hand.”
Why can’t it be both? We hate Trump and we hate you too.
In fact, part of the reason we’re so pissed at Trump is because he took your money and than gave you ridiculous subsidies and didn’t regulate your industry which may pose a catastrophic existential risk.
Now we’ve worked out that plain old billionaires (and high-ranking hundred-millionaires) collectively pose a catastrophic existential risk.
I mean they’re not entirely wrong but I hate that they think it takes blame off themselves. Like they were forced to do Trumps bidding or sign military contracts under the most evil military of all time. Nobody forced them at all though, they were fucking bidding for the contracts and gave half assed reasoning for why they MUST cooperate. Absolute henchmen goofball behavior
It’s true. The left has nothing but tech-focused solutions, like an inclined plane powered by potential energy.

The tech is fine but polluting the air to spy on us will have consequences you may not like.
It is not fine.
An amazing achievement but like other tools, we don’t want it in the wrong hands.
