Just curious, what are they offering to the renters, the homeless, and the unemployed?
Dada as in Idi Amin Dada, I assume?
I mean, it fits, what with the human rights abuses and whatnot...
Radio ga ga da da center.
What about mama centers?
Dredd is (not?) very fond of your idea.
Wow. That’s a helluva typo
Rack mounted ready-mades.
Surreal centers too.
And don't forget the Mama centers!
The first mama center company.
The first?? What is this, Pastarama?
Dada? Absurdist art, like an andalusian dog?
I had a film class prof warn us about the sheep's eye scene but it didn't make watching it get sliced with a razor much better.
People at REAL dada centers want to eat a clock, recite the alphabet then become fish.
Dada Center companies want to own your local police as well.
Dada center
Like, ce n’est pas un centre de données? Is it just full of DuChamp paintings?
No, it's full of toilets turned on their sides.
We could do with fewer data centres and more dada centres, bringing avant-garde artistic provocation to every community to shake the people out of their complacency.
Ceci n'est pas une data centre.
Corporations shouldn’t be permitted to donate money to the community services of their choice. They should be substantially taxed and elected officials should fulfill the expectations of residents. We all know they’ll buy the politicians too so it’s just a pipe dream.
they arnt already? they are freely giving them to use thier AI flock/axon, motorala which feeds into plantir ai for mass surveillance.
dada center
f-father?
Dada Center, LOL.
Anyway, on the one hand, fuck 'em. On the other, extracting community value from any industry is the only way it can possibly work, and data centers don't provide long-term employment in any reasonable number, so it needs to be taxes and other more direct aid.
The local residents and their governments "just" (that word's doing a lot of heavy lifting, I know) need to hold them over a barrel until they get enough to truly make it worthwhile. Making the tech industry pay their fair share would also suppress the number of datacenters down to what actually matches the realistic demand estimates. What we're seeing right now is undercapitalized bullshit trying to externalize the costs and retain the profits.
Easy to say, hard to do so, so I guess what it comes down to is this: fuck 'em.
Too bad for them. I'm Mr. Nimbus and I control the police.
Nation states are over, corpo states are the future. Deal with it.
seriously. first thing I felt playing cyberpunk is it feels like the not to distant future society wise. well except for all the privacy. maybe blend it with minority report.
Not even offering bananas or champagne?
Citizen dossiers need storage uh I mean MEMES. Think of the memes you can make with all this power. Heh. Just goofin right guys?
