While this is true, those jobs are few in number.

Historically, little. The bulk of DCs have typically been located where people could go to them because that used to be more necessary, and therefore they were concentrated around tech firms. And they were planned out years in advance, and mostly sited where it made sense. They also weren't maximally power-dense, as there were other considerations. AI DCs are more power intensive, as they're shoving as many processors and as much memory as possible into every rack. And they're building them fast and desperately, so anywhere they can find to cram them in.

That means yes, noise issues, but also lots of other problems associated with rapidly installing extremely power intensive facilities in awkward locations when infrastructure is already strained. Resulting issues with power and water availability are now well documented.

When I was an apprentice, the journeymen were better at arithmetic than this, probably because it was life and death calculation when dealing with a 3-phase 100A circuit. (all my very obsolete and half-forgotten training is in industrial, not whatever they have going on in data centers)

Good thing they are nowhere near having a monopoly then

I agree. The existing players themselves would increase capacity in hope of outcompeting one another if they thought this would last.

Nope. There will be more idiots behind them.

If their not editing Xorg config to add modelines, then is it really Linux anymore?

Things systemd doesn't do for 200, Alex

Rent free.

Yeah but in practice virtually zero of them are actually closed loop. Even when it is claimed they are there is often a cooling tower which is used sometimes, which means they only sometimes operate in a closed loop mode.

Godwin's law obviously has no modern relevance given that it was invented for USENET and that was effectively destroyed.

Now seriously though it never spoke to whether or not the comparisons to Hitler were apt, as that is situational, only that they would occur.

And sidebar, Mike Godwin explicitly stated that such a comparison is apt when it comes to der pedofuhrer. Just like to toss that in there.

Civics and philosophy are above an electricians pay grade, nor is it for them to determine alone.

Some solidarity from the IBEW on the issue of AI and data center bubble would be nice. But the lack of a unified popular position is a key hurdle right now. It is unreasonable to expect electricians to fight for a position that AI opponents cannot clearly communicate.

This is why there's no ethical consumption under capitalism. The worst people have the most money because they have no compunctions about harming others.

I don't think it'd technically be illegal to write up the counterclaim with prompt injection attacks

As amusing as it is to think about I can think of multiple ways that would not just be civilly unlawful, but criminally illegal. Our hypothetical scumbag lawyer would well be in danger of triggering all sorts of wire fraud, contempt of court, and tortious interference claims and charges.

It doesn't actually provide that because of the things you can't do in unit files without scripts.

When systemd proponents can construct a non-fallacious argument maybe I'll consider taking it seriously

Then what you are describing is not at all a license.

316 years of copyright legislation and litigation since the Statute of Anne says otherwise.
