Because China DGAF about the enviroment or have an EPA
The biggest benefit of data centers in the USA so far has been how suddenly climate change is no longer an issue, so that they can build more coal and NG generators

Stranger Things & Real-World AI Realities
Ethical Concerns: The show’s themes of government control over, and exploitation of, new, powerful, mind-altering technology parallels modern ethical concerns surrounding brain-computer interfaces (BCIs), such as Neuralink.
Data Privacy: Just as the show explores the misuse of mental powers, reality is facing questions about data privacy when neural pulses (thoughts) are no longer private, prompting new "neurorights" laws.
This shite is getting close to Hawkins level or not.

It's causing low water pressure in neighborhoods around these data centers.
snip:
Data centers are increasingly causing significant, localized water shortages and reduced pressure for nearby residents, particularly in drought-prone regions of the United States. Due to the high water demands of, particularly for, evaporative cooling systems, these facilities often strain local aquifers and municipal infrastructure

No. Can't lose to China. End of story.

Well Americans are already interacting with AI daily and some companies have contracts with AI platforms for certain services. Mine is one.

Figuring out a way is possible. That’s how we have technological advances today. But it will be a feat to figure out.

Dow laying off 4500- shift to AI and automation
Saw this in the news last week.

So, laying off that many employees helps the Houston area how?
Is the plan to get technical jobs like construction, plumbers and electricians after ppl get laid off? What if you’re older generation?
AI seems to best for owners and companies rather than regions/ economy.

It’s not gonna be a help in that sense.
As I said before, companies want as little headcount as possible. AI is a means to that end.

The transition is going to be difficult.
But so was the inception of the Industrial Revolution which lead to the greatest leap in quality of life in the history of humanity.

Good. Most companies are way too bloated as is.

It will be like landfills. Everyone wants them, but no one wants them in their backyard. It looks like we will have data centers on the moon as early as 2030 (an interesting rabbit hole to go down if you have some time and want to do some research).

They are different: Industrial Revolution replaces physical labor vs AI replacing mental labor. IR took decades and AI is taking months it seems. We would be widening the inequality gap.
AI will be more disruptive I believe. Time will tell.

We really have zero choice to proceed with AI. The CCP is going hard in the paint with AI. If we don’t, we gone.

We will see. A lot of the AI insiders think we aren’t far off from a society that doesn’t even conceptualize “inequality” because goods and services will be basically over abundant.

What goods and services would be abundant?

All.

AI combined with robotics is going to disrupt physical labor too. Manufacturing and logistics are the obvious examples. Automated driving threatens truck drivers and taxi drivers as well. Robotics will likely take over industries like cleaning and restaurants as well. Even construction could take a hit if 3D-printed structures really take off—which they likely will over time.

This sounds more of a fantasy than a reality. Im here for it though.
