Yeah - there’s a fairly significant game of The Emperor’s New Clothes going on, as the new set of impossibly wealthy assholes insist on pretending they’re not impossibly wealthy assholes and instead try to force society into accommodating them, apparently entirely unaware of the simple fact that all they’re doing is hastening the demise of the civilization that birthed them and on which they’re little more than grossly destructive parasites.
And that’s not an opinion - either mine or anyone else’s. It’s a simple fact that’s been borne out by history over and over throughout the ages, and will be again, no matter how many comforting lies people tell themselves and each other.
The thing with the data centers is that the goal is entirely different from anything we’ve been told.
The key is that Google is implementing a system that allows people to get the information they’re after directly from them rather than clicking theough to a website. That’s undermining ad revenue, which not only threatens the existence of the websites but threatens Google’s existing ad-based business model.
So it can only be the case that they’re pivoting to a new business model.
And the key to that is the data centers.
Their goal, I grow more certain nearly every day, is to effectively privatize the internet by driving independent sites out of business, so that they (and their handful of more or less equally wealthy and powerful competitors) become the only source for all of that data they’ve already stolen.
Hey everyone, check out how edgy and dismissive this guy is!
God, not listening or thinking is so cool. How do you maintain your ability to not engage with the discussion topic while still thinking you have something to say that’s worth listening to?
Yeah, and he’s quoted once to make the point that the fact that someone like that, and someone like Bernie Sanders agree on AI hurting workers, shows that the anti-AI backlash is cross partisan.
Your righteous ignorance is just anti-intellectual trash.
Read the full article, then critique it and him if you want, or keep your mouth shut and don’t judge a full article because it’s opening line quotes someone you despise when you don’t even understand that the context is not validating or praise worthy.
Lmfao, so now Lila Shroff, staff writer at the Atlantic, is a white supremacist?
The quote was being used to make the article author’s point in the context of the article, it wasn’t a feed of quotes the author found inspiring from people they think you should pay attention to.
By your logic Robert Evans of Behind the Bastards fame is a white supremacist because he’s quoted them before.

That man should fear walking around due to the amount of shit he’s caused
That podcast office he works out of must be a bank vault/bunker to keep people from coming in and impacting his throat.

Yeah, and my point is that your point is anti-intellectual horseshit wrapped in righteous indignation.
