@pwm @tyil @sun people are mad because the models don't deliver but corporate is so nakedly desperate to fire the workforce they're cramming it everywhere. this is halo effecting on to the entire field, including those of us that use the shit that *does* fucking work.

@icedquinn @pwm @tyil its comically oversold and it's causing insane hardware prices, every other complaint is pretty bullshit when you inspect them closer. the datacenter thing started okay when it was about land and utility prices affecting rural communities but now its people just mad about fucking datacenters in general because they got told to on social media

@icedquinn @pwm @tyil people are getting fired and they're using AI as a cover story, so it's not actually AI's fault. example, Microsoft firing a bunch of people and blaming it on AI, then quietly hiring more Indians than the number they fired.

@sun @pwm @tyil
> hardware prices
it may not be. funny thing is it turns out some of those "AI orderred all the shit" was OpenAI signing letters of intent (which they have been slowly walking back), and the rumblings that Samsung is just jacking off because they can.
the AI money may be enabling the bilking more than causing it. speculatively, anyway.

@sun @icedquinn @pwm @tyil Favorite is data centers using water. Sure, Google has been doing that for over a decade. Why didn't you complain then?

@sun@shitposter.world @icedquinn@blob.cat @pwm@darkdork.dev @tyil@fedi.tyil.nl I have personally always been mad about datacenters in general and the current "AI" craze has not changed that, only made it worse.
The internet is not supposed to be all centralized in one place owned by like 5 companies. Everyone should own their own hardware and host stuff for each other from home.
In the ideal world we would not need datacenters because the internet is fully decentralized.
