For all of you just dying to see this bubble pop, do you realize how much money is tied up in AI speculation? That’s money that is, for the US at least, propping up our economy when it would otherwise be sliding.
Don’t eat the popcorn just yet. When this shit pops, you’re gonna need all the food you can get.
I’m 100% behind you, but the public will never relate AI and politics, not unless the datacenter is tearing up their forests and driving their bills. The relation is not simple conservative “not until it affects me” thinking. On this very particular subject, most Americans are totally ignorant. Do not mistake our attitudes and understanding on lemmy with what most people perceive.
Slash Medicare? Yeah, they’ll get that, eventually. One would hope. But AI? They’ll never connect the dots unless it hits their region, and even then, “Why my power bill so high?”
I’m ready for Great Depression 2.0. That event drove 60-years of Democratic policies. Yes, WWII was a major factor in our prosperity, but still, we had unions and social security and work programs and taxes on the rich and none of that was in question. We understood that was solid policy.
tl;dr: Americans are hopelessly ignorant on just about any subject you care to name. That’s not a put down, merely fact. Most of us can’t read 6th-grade level or higher. I was reading at college level in elementary school, though that must be bullshit. Nope. True.

Burn it the fuck down. Magats need to feel the devastation they’re causing.
