This is a land use chart from Bloomberg in 2018. Estimates are data centers will use 900,000 acres by 2028.
That would be less than 4 of the individual squares here. So less than flowers.
@MangoSweet78 they're not really anti-ai, they just wanna be different. i can bet you all of the people talking abt how horrible vibecoding is love to make kirkified videos like there's no tomorrow
@FusetteLaFusee@VexArcYT@ColectiveSplonk programming is fun when you get to learn abt algorithms and cool stuff like that, not writing boilerplate code. ai just serves as a more advanced autocomplete
I spent time inside a “trans help” group posing as a minor who needed to hide everything from my parents.
The adults in the group did not pause. They did not redirect me to a doctor. They did not suggest telling a parent. They gave me sourcing instructions, supplier links, and workflows for obtaining DIY hormones discreetly.
Adults, coaching a child on how to medically transition behind their parents’ backs.
I will be exposing this network in the coming days.
@XM1186@Loogifan@EthanHagen82390@skeletrust a ton of the public opinion on ai comes from normies who typically use chatgpt in stupid ways, like to generate pictures, or as their “friend,” etc. they never see the places in which actual progress has been made, and so they think it’s still will smith eating spaghetti
Okay, but you're not a programmer so who cares? If you know who Torvalds is you'll know why him recognizing the utility of AI is important, especially him sanctioning its use in Linux. His view is also a conservative one; it's just gotten FAR too good for anyone to be ignoring it
