What makes a data center an 'AI data center' vs other kinds? I am sure that certain workloads are better suited for a particular server rack vs another; but can't a data center built for other computing needs also do AI and vice-versa?
Different I/O, power and cooling requirements for majority GPU workloads?

#84what's funny is the website looks AI generated though that's just the style of the time i guess.

At some point national and state level goals must supercede local control if progress is to ever be made.

#85Earlier quoted context omitted.
That’s not violence. The word “violence” doesn’t mean anything you don’t like. I don’t understand why some people want to call everything violence. Watering down the meaning of a word doesn’t help anything.
Killing you slowly is very much violence.

#87Is there a map of munitions plants and spy centers and other facilities whose sole purpose is to active oppress, harm and outright kill people? Or the offices of ads agencies defacing countless public spaces, injecting noise into every activity and wasting billions of hours combined of everybody's life?

#88Opposition data center is stupid. We need as many data centers as possible. If you actually want to make a difference how about you mandate that they all come with their own solar and battery power packs. When the hell did the left become so regressive?
Why?
So we can destroy as many jobs as possible in as short an amount of time while nuking the environment from orbit and funneling trillions to china for the hardware?
The fact that you position anti-ai as a “left” thing means you’re not engaging with this seriously anyway. The environment isn’t a left-right thing. Jobs aren’t a left-right thing.

#89The Erin Brockovich page itself repeats the canard, on the front page, that these sites endanger ecosystems with their water consumption.
