The AI Big Lie
One of the Big Lies you'll hear proponents of AI data centers spout is
that if you stand in their way you will block progress toward new
cancer cures and other medical progress. This is total bull. The vast
amount of this AI data center capacity is aimed not at that kind of AI
work, but at LLM generative AI SLOP: Creating sexualized and other
deep fakes, automated phishing scams, misinformation-filled search
query answers that starve sites of views, agentic agents that destroy
your data and wallet while the AI firms take no responsibility, AI
chatbots that urge users toward murder and suicide, cheating machines
for kids in school, vibe coding systems that generate garbage code and
create an excuse for mass layoffs -- and so on. That's the reality of
Big Tech LLM AI, and that is what these horrific data centers are
mostly all about. -L
