    China loves data centers though. How else are they gonna enable their mass surveillance?

        Have you heard of…China? And cameras? Social credits?

        They’ve been putting cameras and microphones in for decades over there. We’re just now scratching the surface with flock, can only imagine what it’s like over there with ai cameras now.

          Google the social credit thing and then get back to me.

          Also you know you have a credit score too, and it affects where you can live, what car you can drive, and where you can work, lol.

              Google is literally part of your government surveillance 😂

              Any updates on the social credit thing? Did you read about how that was bullshit propaganda, lol?

      It isn’t just surveillance. It’s about innovating. What created a strong tech sector in the west was innovation. China wants us to put down the new thing so they can build the patents and develop the sector. It isn’t great that AI exists. But rejecting it is going to hurt more than if we use it.

        I’d argue that the current capitalism speedrun of shoving ai into literally everything is just as bad as rejecting it, if not worse.

          For who? That’s how innovation happens. It’s like saying you don’t think it’s useful to read all the books on a subject. You can’t just open a page to exactly what you need.

        Yes, this is a shitty space race. Instead of putting a man on the moon we get … whatever it is we’re getting.

          I see a lot of you phrasing things like “whatever it is we getting” but are we all really ignorant to the reality of the way these tools increase productivity? Like that’s just putting your head into the ground. When I was younger the left was where I thought wise people were.
