    It’s a classic knee jerk from commenters who don’t know what they are talking about.

    A tale as old as time.

          Fun fact: data centers existed and were incredibly important pieces of digital infrastructure long before LLMs were publicly available. You don’t even know what a data center does apparently.

          Nor do you realize that my comment isn’t about the virtues of data centers or what happens in them, but rather, having a massively under-informed opinion based largely on emotions. Hate for the sake of hate. That’s what MAGA people do. You’re really doing to double down and tell me that “oh, well, not me, I’m not like that” with a straight face?

          Downvote all you like, it doesn’t make your heart kind, or your mind work better.

            Yeah, but the scale of the current set of data centers has gotten to a point where they are becoming a problem for the communities they inhabit. If data centers stayed at the consumption levels they did decades ago, I don’t think we’d be seeing organized political action against them.

            We actually have very good reasons to be telling society destroying tech speculators to take their “but muh inovashions” “diruptions bro” and fuck off and die in a slit trench.

              But you do realize that un-innovative, plain old data centers not for bots and AI are a thing, right?

              You literally can’t throw your opinion at me without them.
