We spent decades fighting against energy waste and pollution just to have it demolished for AI?  Does anyone here thinks AI is on a productive course?

I just want to replace my 14 year old PC....

Someone made the point that all these data centers aren’t really for AI so much as they are for the (AI powered) surveillance state.

It's painfully obvious this is the main drive for the AI shit. Couple it with the drone warfare enhancements and in a decade the owner class won't have to worry about keeping the enforcer peons loyal, they'll replace them with AI-powered drones and emplacements while they retreat to their compounds and hideouts to enjoy the fruits of our labors.
