"AI is a tool stop being a luddite" mfs when being exposed to this reality
Looking at the actual numbers (less than 1%) other commentors are posting as opposed to clickbait headlines, I'm not seeing the issue.
I'm exhausted of all this. The data centers have been so pervasive that some communities have been thinking about rationing electricity to get around the requirements. That's... a dystopia future if Ive ever seen one.
Hyperbole is hyperbole. I refuse to fall for bullshit just because it's aligned with my views and opinions.
I personally think it's bullshit that these things are happening to begin with, not that people are ringing the alarm to our new reality. The latter is just us doing our part to fix this.
