Hear me out…
How do we know it wasn’t a peaceful person leaving a hand written note begging for no more datacentres, when their nemesis, Dr Datacentre, drove past and started shooting at him?
Or even a rival cocaine dealer
The four boxes of liberty-
- Soap box
- ballot box
- jury box
- ammo box
We’re at the last one because they’ve removed all the others.
Small price to pay for 2nd amendment
Eco-terrorists do your thing. No one else will stop this stupid forward momentum on AI as it needs to suck in huge resources just so some dipshit can request porn comics.
I actually think the market will beat them too it. Between Sora being taken out behind the barn, the laundry list of layoffs that indicate these companies are getting high off their own supply, and lastly the very real realization that all this “investment” is a massive billion dollar circle jerk.
It looks too bubbly to me, we can only hope the pop happens fast enough that these companies cant cannabalize eachother, but thats wishful thinking.

Its almost like fucking over all of us with rolling blackouts , skyrocketing power bills, sucking up water, and creating heat islands would upset us. Oh and further enriching billionaires with stolen land. Wow. Weird.
Don’t forget the infrasound! YouTube link: Datacenters behaving like acoustic weapons
I’ll watch, but it sounds a lot like people who think wind generators cause headaches and such.
It’s Benn Jordan. From watching a bunch of his videos the guy is super legit and would be happy to be disproved on most any of his findings.
Totally understand the skepticism, though this guy puts about as much due diligence into the video as one could hope for - near the end he’s trying to conduct a double-blind clinical trial!
I know he’s generally good, saw some of his flock camera stuff.
I am lazy. Is pseudoscience, mad science or just barnyard gossip?
Barnyard gossip with a pinch of divination. Mad science is actual science but for the explicit purpose of being evil or off the walls whacky; given enough time or a proper application mad science can turn into normal science.
yeah i figured the datacenters being sound weapons or something was close enough to mad science, right? it could be sam altman’s evil plan maybe?
It’s not the same, they’re loud high velocity small spinning blades. It’s the same concept as a box fan, very large diameter fan moving slowly is quiet, small high velocity fan is much louder. And they’re ground level and much closer to people and stacked together very closely instead of far apart.

it’s been acknowledged by the scientific community as having an effect on humans and animals for decades.
“Having an effect” is completely different then saying it makes people sick, and the wiki article alternates between citing studies that it does cause discomfort to it doesn’t cause discomfort, and for the studies/experiments that actually proving it does have an effect it was very strong and specifically intended to cause discomfort.
Wait, did the shooter walk up to the house, politely place the note under the mat, then start blasting?
Or did they light the place up before dropping off the note?

No one leaves notes, it’s not the 60’s anymore. This looks like a inside job or a setup to paint anti data center people as violent people.
The reality is if you are FOR data centers, you are the problem and need to do more research. No one should be for any data centers to be built in this country, I wouldn’t want to live near one. I also hate paying the electric bill for billionaires, they need to pony up all the money, they have plenty!
I’m curious what you mean by “no data centers should be built in this country”.
Almost everything on the Internet exists because a data center is hosting it.
If all of the data centers exist outside of the country, not only latency issues would arise but data security and availability concerns as well.
If there were no datacenters anywhere, the Internet would be a much slower, unreliable, and sparesly populated place.
I miss the days of a much slower, unreliable and sparsely populated internet. That’s when it was its best.
Data centers is usually just servers, ai use is the part that needs massive power hungry gpus.
I know this is a shit post community but with OP I cannot tell if they’re serious or not.
Or put them in places humans can’t easily live.
It could be in cold remote areas where they could get the sun for several months at a time, charge huge batteries, and run on battery during the dark months.
They’d have colder ambient air so cheaper to cool.
Or… return to efficient software values, live within our means, and serve applications from more easily cooled low power chips.
Just confirming that to stream Letterkenny in the US, Netflix should build a data center on the Canadian side of Lake Huron (cause they made the damn show of course), and then pipe the data back to the US?
Point of order: Letterkenny was made by Crave, a Canadian streaming service.
A thing I was wondering why haven’t have happened already have happened.
Now I wonder when a terminal cancer patient will use their last strength to drive a fuel truck into a datacenter.

I’m sure the 8 year old kid inside thought it was cool too.
Maybe the kid’s parents should learn to do the right things to keep them safe
It should be obvious now what those things are
I’ll say it, sometimes the FO of FA for right wingers is to lose someone. They only understand when it personally affects them in some capacity.

I keep this image saved on my phone, because it is relevant way too often:
The study asked participants to mark the farthest region from center that they cared about. For instance, marking 4 means you also care about 3, 2, and 1. Liberals largely marked high numbers near the perimeter. Things like “all sentient life” or “all life, including non-sentient”… While conservatives tended towards marking low numbers near the center. Things like “my extended family” or “my closest friends”. So yes, in fact, many of them genuinely don’t care unless it affects them (their family or closest friends) directly.
Another fun fact is that liberals scored 20 points at the highest, while conservatives scored a 12. So not only do they only care about themselves, they don’t even care about the people closest to themselves as much as liberals care about people they don’t know
I vaguely remember seeing that before, I know that studies of people’s brains shows an actual, physical difference. With the centers for emotional response, especially fear, larger in typically Republican voters while those left of them don’t have as large portions.
When those in power choose to ignore the people they represent, then what other options are there?
Essentially you’re saying elected representatives can use their children as human shields so they can do whatever they want.

Oh I don’t know, off the the top of my head… Elect people who will represent the people accordingly, run for office and be the change you want to see, move to another town/state that is more in line with your beliefs. It’s certainly not to assassinate those and their family members that I feel aren’t living up to my standards.
Essentially you’re saying elected representatives can use their children as human shields so they can do whatever they want.
Never said anything remotely close to that.
And you’re saying thise kids deserve to have their lives endangered because of whatever stupid decisions their parents are making? The kids don’t have a say in anything, and they can’t leave! This person was too much of a coward to take this action to wherever the councilperson works. Nobody cares about innocent lives lost anymore.
And also, the more this sort of thing happens, the less people will want to put their families in potential danger. You will get fewer good, quality people running for any office.

This honestly sounds like some half assed right wing flase flag shit. Paint everyone against datacenters as crazy and violent.
I’m from Indy - no one is buying the story. The councilor is a complete tool who’s hated by his own constituents and will be voted out. He’s been caught multiple times making up shit like this just for attention.
Just a thought - if someone was this passionate against new AI data centers, why would they get an anti-data center flyer, put it in a plastic bag, leave it under his doormat, and then shoot up his door? If they’re going to this much trouble, they want to stop the data centers. But they’d be relying on the councilor looking under his doormat and that his opinions wouldn’t be hardened by this. Why wouldn’t they try to kill the councilor, too? Why wouldn’t they at least leave behind an actual threat?
What’s much more likely is he either did this for attention or it was a drive-by shooting and he either put the flyer there himself or it just happened to already be on his porch.
I’m not from Indy and don’t know fuck-all about this particular “victim”, but I kinda believe it. There are a lot of whacko-crazy nut jobs out there.
Nothing in the story that I’ve read points to a political bent for the alleged perpetrator. I do however know that he or she was actually at my house drinking beers during the timeframe of this purported crime.
I mean I am crazy. Not violent tho, unless you count sassy Latin rhythms as violent
Mater tua.
Meanwhile they are threatening to genocide a nation.
Is all violence crazy?
(I’m not saying you’re even wrong, but this false flag shit wouldn’t work if people decoupled crazy from violent.)
It’s nice they set the note on the ground, under their mat. Instead of on a rock, through their window.
