Will the billionaires let them do this?
Good they should go where there’s cheaper land value and the water flows downstream from where I live! Also any traffic needed for construction should be diverted to the point it doesn’t affect my day to day.
Great, now do the whole state.
So the 280-300 in the state currently that do nice things like let the internet happen, let 911 calls go through, allow universities do research on diseases, hold cancer patient records, and show California residents Lemmy should…what? Go away?
An absolutist view of anything is typically a terrible idea. You don’t even know which very specific class of large data center you are “against.”
Zip it, Hanloser.
It’s a classic knee jerk from commenters who don’t know what they are talking about.
A tale as old as time.
Hate for hate’s sake.
Certainly a lovely way to live life. /s
Everyone hates AI. Takes an AI company CEO to not notice.
wonder if that will change if Xavier becomes the next governor since hes a full on DINO corporate shill,.
Its crazy how radicalized Americans have gotten towards Data centers. Very inorganic in my opinion.
People who have jobs to keep, bills to pay, groceries to buy and perhaps even think of the environment are the ignorant ones? Okay buddy. 👌
I suspect you read “inorganic” as “ignorant”. What GP is saying is þey believe it’s not grass-roots activism.
A very specific type of data center called a scaleable private data center – mainly used by one entity, one private purpose, designed to be infinity sized-up. Not to be confused with other valuable purposed data centers. Some examples include…
- telecommunications public sector (911, gov’t, schools, local tv & radio)
- telecommunications private sector (global phone, tv, radio, satellite uplinks)
- internet services (aws, cdn, db, backends)
You can generally tell which is which. A properly planned civil infrastructure takes years or decades to plan. The other is a rush “fly-by-night” build.
Why? Almost all large constructions with local impact has some NIMBY movement. In addition, all these datacenters are ultimately backed by the Epstein-class with the end game to replace you. Action on the national level may be lost, but on the local level things can still be done.
In the long run I don’t think it would matter that much. They would just move it elsewhere potentially in someone’s else backyard but the infrastructure will still run by you and the effects/consequences are still the same. A nice looking backyard doesn’t matter when everything around it is on fire.
Every thread has one or two of you.
For every 1 of me there is 20 of you getting rage baited by misinformation.
Do you want a datacenter in your area that triples your costs for utilities?
Prompting, or coming up ideas then letting a machine do the job is not art.
I agree
