Comment I've got... an.. idea.. (Score 1) 260

Trump loves AI, he wants to promote it.

During every speech he gives, every time he makes a statement as a fact, let's have multiple AI "entities" do a real-time fact check.

What better way to show how great it is than to have it provide feedback on everything he says.

You keep resulting the same nonsense.

Yes, pilots need flight hours. Navigating a slow speed, low flyover of a stadium does technically give them more time in the seat but in no way provides valid combat style training. Next you'll tell me that marching in lines to the best of a drum will keep our army battle ready. .

Flyovers are cool in the moment but quickly fade away as soon as the planes are out of sight. Only someone who lacks sanity thinks increased flyover will have a lasting impact on morale.

If you want to watch more flyovers, attend some Mets home games. Plenty of lore flying planes there thanks to LGA

I'm old enough to remember the ground covered in snow all winter. I also remember A/C being a luxury, not necessity in the summer. Yeah it still got hot and uncomfortable but it at least cooled down at night. Now they cancel school because the older buildings without A/C routinely hit 100F in the afternoon.

his AI data center thing is the latest moral panic. Few really cares much about the water use or incremental increase to electricity costs... certainly not enough to become activists and start recall campaigns.

This tells me you live in an area that is not attracting data centers.

Most of my family live in such areas. A significant portion of the population already live paycheck to paycheck. People have been hit hard by the higher inflation over the past 4 years since wages are not keeping up. Small increases to utilities is actually a very big deal when it's something that is not necessary to day-to-day life.

People do what they can when food goes up because it's a necessity. AI is a luxury item, so when people who are less likely to benefit from AI data farms are the ones getting hit with "incremental" cost increases, they abso-fucking-lutely care.

It's not about job replacement, it's about squeezing more money out to the "1%" at the expense of the working class.
