Bernie Sanders and AOC Are Pushing a Moratorium on Data Center Construction

hahaha. oh you were serious... let me laugh even harder. HHAHAHAHAHA 1. Special purpose algorithms used for medical research don't require as much hardware as they are fine tuned and can be run on local clusters and paid for with university funds and research grants. 2. big data centers are being for "general purpose" agentic AI to serve as many users as possible in hopes of converting them into paying customers down the line. LLMs, image, video, and audio generation. AI assistants tailored for specific offices and businesses. Nothing that has presently shown any value or usefulness but is still getting propped up by big tech in what is possibly the largest speculative bubble in the history of economics. 3. The current administration is cutting funding to science and medicine across the board, is staunchly anti-science, and America is experiencing brain drain at an increasingly alarming rate. All of our top scientists, doctors, engineers, and researchers see the writing on the wall and are jumping ship to Canada, the UK, and Europe where their efforts won't be impeded. 4. The datacenters are driving up energy costs, polluting drinking water, and emitting sub-audible infrasound that are making people miles around them sick. There is nothing about these data centers that serve to make peoples lives better, except for the rich assholes building them and the politicians they bribe.
