Maybe I’m too woke but I’m so tired of the “data centers use so much water” narrative and like “oh but they use municipal water sources” yeah so do Nestle Coca Cola and Pepsico on like 100x the scale it just mostly affects people in third world countries

And this isn’t a defense of AI data centers by the way but I just feel like it’s actually one of the worse angles to go at. Like this topic has been sensationalized beyond belief that it doesn’t feel like anyone is paying attention to any of the other issues with AI

It’s better to hate Ai bc it’s satanic and evil in nature. I will not elaborate

People will call you crazy for this (and I can’t say I’m totally following the drift) but there’s definitely a sects of people in the AI world who genuinely are motivated by: A. trying to create God or B. trying to bring about the end of the world/humanity because they believe that’s when Jesus’ second coming will happen

And by the way I consider both of those more imminent threats to the vast majority of people than data centers using up all the water or something

I feel like everyone seriously overestimates the number of people actively/consciously participating in camp B, your average evangelical boomer isn’t thinking “we should advance AI eschatologically to bring about the end times” but rather “facebook slop video funni”. People say the same thing about their support for Israel, in both cases it’s far more often the case that they’re just dumb and incredibly easy to influence.

I don’t think getting everyone to support what they’re doing is necessarily a prerequisite to them bringing about negative outcomes for everyone though. Some of the newer models have become so sophisticated that they often stay behind closed doors. The power to influence humanity’s fate has concentrated to a small group of people where both of these sects exist. We don’t really even get an input anyway
