A.I. Are you Excited?

[Rowdie]

So AI basically scans the internet for answers. Who put the stuff on the internet? Us…..the idiots…..we did it. Also can you guarantee the developers didn’t program in some of their own biases or agendas?

Im sure searching google isn’t much better, but it seems to be a slower path to the end. Whatever “the end” will be.

And it uses Wikipedia which can be very bad

Boy the more you find out about these AI data centers the more concerning it gets. It's very hard to believe that there isn't something about the background of these that we aren't being told. There is now 1 being built in Texas that will consume more electricity that the whole state of Colorado. And will use over 1 billion gallons of water. The decibel rate near it will be from 90 to 120 decibels. Larry Fink of Blackrock said in an interview that Blackrock will own or control the vast majority of the centers cause the govt can't afford to fund them. And the US will have over 3000 of these. Maybe there has an I just havn't seen it but even with overwhelming public support against these I don't think I have ever seen a case where the public was ever able to get one of these projects stopped. The public can show up in mass at public hearings against them and always the local county commissioners magically vote to approve. Our national energy grid is already stretched to the max with occasional brownouts in certain parts of the US when there are disruptions of any kind. Before anyone even heard of a data center we were told the grid wouldn't be able to handle all the coming load from all the electric cars that will be coming. Watched a video on X from a lady telling her experiences with their family home in the way of a center. In her state they are just using eminent domain to get all the people and property off the proposed land. X is the only place she is allowed to talk about this yet she has posted videos of what her family is dealing with on tik tock and other sites and the videos are being taken down and her accounts closed out on them. And I have never heard anyone talk about how the massive heat dumps coming out of them might affect the local weather or environment. If they are so great why the need for the heavy handed censorship around talking about them? I just really can't envision a scenario where this ends well for us. And if blackrock ends up controlling them and power grid supplies end up tight if its a choice between a data center or a city of 100000 which one do you think will end up getting the power diverted their way?

Thanks for the input, I will have to look into this more, as some of this I was unaware.
