One thing I noticed while voting in the mid terms is how being anti data center is fairly bi-partisan even for maga dick bags.
And yet Republican candidates and sitting legislators are pushing hard for them. They really don't seem to be reading the room well.
We're seeing the same thing in Canada, too. The typical alignment between corporations and the right wing seems to not be serving them well this time around...
They're reading the room just right, you just don't get who's in it. They're doing what they're told by their tech masters.
I get that but they also need to be elected unless their goal is to pad their pockets as quickly as possible, now, before they get kicked out of office (which, hey, for some, certainly possible).
Personally, I suspect they're so deep in their own bubbles, and so used to a mindless right wing base that will vote for them no matter what, that they don't see what's going on.
Yeah, Google just destroyed 815 acres of forest for a new data centre in Finland without permission. It hasn't gone down well.
Especially not with Finns. They like their forest, about 3/4 of the population goes and disappears into the forest during summer holidays.
And then, they are also quite strict on The Rules Being Followed To Maintain Polite Society, so a corporation both destroying forest and breaking The Rules, well, that's not gonna end well.
Do they also have those lovely cabins you can rent everywhere, like in Norway? You'd never see my ass (except for work) if I lived there.
Every week I learn something about the nords that I like. I need to look at work visa options.
Petteri Orpo, said attracting investment was a “top priority” and “the value of the data economy extends far beyond direct investment”.
X doubt.
They probably gave them deals on electricity too. The Fins are getting nothing in return. Wow.
What a weird sequence of sentences to describe that no one likes data centers
people aren’t dropping their shorts…
cracks are forming…
I’m studying his body. I’ve never studied the body of a man before. It’s not my thing. Nothing wrong with it, of course. But I looked at his ass and then I looked at his legs. I said, “His ass—shit—it’s like, it’s like a pile of muscle.” Then I looked at his legs, and I said, “Man, his feet are big.” Then I looked at his shoulders, and I tapped him on the shoulder, and it actually hurt my hand. It was like a piece of steel.
Hahahaha is that erotic fiction 101?
oops, left this off…

Hahahaha well that clarifies. Thank you. Lol
Don't worry, this administration will still drop their shorts. Hell, they'll remove their lower rib cage as well just to further please the billionaires.
remove their lower rib cage
Hahahaha now there is a line I haven’t heard in a while. I think Marilyn Manson came out saying he never did that to address the rumors that he did. However, could totally see this cult of an administration getting behind it if they were asked to.
Weirdly, in my school it was Trent Reznor instead of Marilyn Manson.
Well then, maybe i’m confused lol. Wouldn’t be surprised if multiple people were rumored to do it back then.
Nah, it was Manson in my school as well.
Thanks!
They'd also pull up their shirts to show their scars. No sarcasm.
Yah just like the diapers on the ears, the stupid toupes, and the geriatric diapers as outer wear…fucking idiots.
Turns out a business plan consisting of »build a trillion dollars of server farms now, figure out who pays later« gets slightly less charming once the lenders ask for actual numbers. The AI industry wanted to disrupt every profession except the ancient art of checking whether the math works.
"We plan to shoot for the moon and land on a pile of money" classic Silicon Valley businessplan.
Considering how tech CEOs are acting, with their bunkers, bodyguards, remote islands and rockets, I'm not sure they planned to come back after leaving with all our money.
leaving with all our money.
Talk is they're planning on staying away while money and debts inflates away to zero and come back with all the deeds when the fighting stops.
Don't you need a functioning government for a deed to have value?
Isn't this also how the dot-com bubble sort of happened?
The next one will be one same. Humans don't learn from mistakes.
The AI bust will be an order of magnitude worse. The money involved is staggering. AI is almost all of America's GPD and a monster chunk of stock valuation.
Yes, and every bubble before, since, and hereafter.

Uhh, they never were. Politicians were creaming over them because they're basically funneling taxpayer money back to campaigns.
Good.
