Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.
"We're gonna eliminate your jobs, use up all your clean drinking water, quadruple your energy costs, expand mass surveillance, and slowly drive you insane with infrasound!"
And somehow CEOs and billionaires are still scratching their heads trying to figure out why normal Americans aren't pumped about this.
"but... Did you get the part where I am going to make trillions?
Ah wait... I'll be selling you water to drink at premium rates! Nearly forgot that one.
What's not to like? You humans are never happy. Can't wait to replace you all with robots"
cant sell water if there are none to sell.
Not with that attitude, you can't!
You will be able to buy "intelligent water"(TM). It's bottled right after using it to cool AI data centers, so it contains pure distilled Artificial Intelligence.
With all of the accelerated, state-sponsored greed, they forgot they have to trick common people into supporting bad ideas.
increase CO2 pollution, and other pollutants not privy to the public, and shielded by local governments.
I think it's a lot simpler which is that turns our that pro-AI conservative NIMBY's don't want AI data centers in their backyard anymore than they want renewable energy or affordable housing. It's just another nuisance they don't want to live near if nothing else.
Their marketing team sucks
they clearly hadnt been noticing it since '23, when they were laying people off. also the fact that both gop/dnc are supporting the building, unless they were being called out.
We should burn them all down.
Tanking the life equity of people, some of whom worked their asses off to buy a basic or “fixer” house, is untenable. That’s life savings and retirement, combined, in a single structure, for working class. In addition, it’s security for the kids.
Data centers roll through and trash not just resellability, but prior affordability and quiet enjoyment.
That last part would be like never being able to go home to relax, due to noise, light, and skull level vibration.
In addition to the monthly cost of staying there going up significantly, even as the property value tanks. Can’t even relax in a nice hot shower because the water pressure sucks now. It didn’t when you bought the place, but it does now. Good luck getting your life savings back on that.
I guess having billions isn’t enough. They have to shit all over you where you live too.
These assholes are taking everything from us.
It's definitely a rock and a hard place. Donald has shoved that American aristocracy down everyones throats as of late and this isn't being pitched as an act of national security as it probably should be. Either that or done with more tact but tact and guile are something the Trump presidencies have been famously devoid of. So with the wider landscape of current events and how mainstream media has pitched this it's pretty predictable the reaction it would get.
You neglected to mention that data centers are absolutely terrible for everyone who has to deal with them. No amount of tact can polish that turd.
especially if you are living near a giant heater.
