Comment Blaming Social Media is Like Blaming Rock Music (Score 1) 76

Whatever is popular at the time is exactly what takes the blame, first it was rock music, then TV, then violent video games, and now its "social media." I quote it because social media is one of the most anti-social activities. Next it will be AI. Old prudes will always hate on whatever is new a popular and wasn't around when they were a kid and blame it for every bad thing that ever happened. Maybe people are just a little weird, sad, and depressed sometimes?

You are spot on. Elon Musk literally wore a necklace honoring the Jewish victims of an attack for over a year and people still called him a Nazi. They are 100% after his personal character purely as a political game. The accusations of racism have lost all credibility when you call someone racist for waving their arm the wrong way in public.

There is no problem with quadrupling datacenters, like at all, not even a little bit. The ground has far more resources than we could ever use and randomly deciding now is the time to stop growth for x reason or y reason is completely performative. You could have said the same thing when datacenters were at 1/4th the amount they are now. The grid is already weak and creating more demand for power will actually strengthen the grid not weaken it. If you have ever taken a flight across the country in a window seat you can see that 99% of the time is spent flying over empty ground. There is absolutely nothing that should limit datacenter construction. Maybe you don't want one right next to your house, that's fine. But stopping them state wide or country wide is absolutely ridiculous. It will be like another nuclear power protest. Nuclear power is extremely clean and would have helped us, but for some reason people had no idea the 'smoke stacks' actually only emitted water vapor.
