Also don't be discouraged by these anti-datacenter clowns. Most normal people don't understand where their doomscroll gets pumped out of every day and thinks the internet comes from their phone. These are the same people who are anti-powerplant and think electricity comes from a wall outlet.

No they aren’t.

Doom scrolling is nothing good for society and it’s with us only because extremely well funded organisations make money from it, and has weaponised it against the general population.

I am a high voltage tester and know electricity very well.

What kind of dogshit take is this? AI datacenters are a very different breed of facility in terms of their effect on their surrounding communities. Colossus is literally poisoning South Memphis.

Colossus in South Memphis has been running off the grid for over a year now.

Great comments to use as example of Poe's law.

If your industry pisses off "most normal people," then maybe it's not a problem with normal people, but... it's a problem with your industry.

Industry exists within the context of society. It would be great if SV tech bros could understand this reality.

All those people vote.

> AI is not going anywhere and will only grow more and more.

I agree, but I think it's easy to conflate AI (a technology) with current AI companies (who's value is based on a bet about how that technology will develop).

I'm not predicting anything, but its perfectly plausible for Anthropic and OpenAI to suffer massive corrections if proprietary frontier models don't lead to a "a few winners take all" market.

In the same way, the internet grew a lot since the early 2000s, but pets.com did not.
