Maybe look it up, so you actually know what you're talking about. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luddite Unless you're saying that people advocating for fair treatment and a livable environment is a bad thing. In which case, please tell us how that boot tastes on this fine morning. Reply

From the Wikipedia article that you reference: "Despite its original meaning, the term has over time been used to refer to those who are opposed to the introduction of new technologies." Reply
-Fran- Kicapan07 said: Luddites out in force again. You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means. In either case, I doubt many people is opposed to the concept of building more compute and increasing the overall capacity to expand AI. What they're opposing is unfair treatment by their politicians voted into office, the dangers of very lax regulation for the new constructions and what comes after and, very likely, poor studies to show any further impact in their living conditions and areas. Your attitude smells a lot like "it doesn't affect me, so you can get bent instead". That way of thinking is dangerous. If it's not, I have to ask why? Why have that attitude towards someone and their actions which clearly will benefit regular people's lives in a positive way? (inb4: they want to go back to the stone age, hurr durr). Regards. Reply

cknobman People better wake up to the real reasons AI data centers are going up all across the country and lightning speed. Funny how all the climate change talk disappeared when it came time to build these things. Reply

That's because thee big corporations behind the AI boom shifted from a standard business model to a disruptive one, where winning posed a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and falling behind became an existential threat. At that point, not only did they throw environmental sustainability goals out the window, but also financial sustainability. We've seen news of layoffs which show they're even willing to damage their core business, if they think it increases their chances of winning. It's really just a massive gamble. Reply
