OpenAI is doing a much better job than China at getting people to hate AI.

Im not against data centers, that's mostly where the internet runs from. Im against AI data centers though

China didn't attack Iran and send global oil prices sky high. China doesn't bully my government into bad defence contracts.

I'm so tired of racist fear mongering about China. They aren't a perfect country, but the suggestion of the United States judging any other nation right now is mind boggling.

Lol. It's obviously a consortium of trans, immigrants and antifa that are behind it. While Michelle Obama and Soros are funding the operation.

Yeah they're turning Americans against data centers by describing them objectively, how insidious...

The rage against Data Centers must be because of filthy foreigners, it couldn't possibly be because of how the 100% American billionaries and their bought and paid for 100% American politicians are imposing on everybody by hook and by crook something which for everybody but said billionaires is a net bad thing (since for everybody but those capturing the profits of Data Centers, the nasty side effects of them vastly exceed the minuscule benefits from them which are nothing more than a handful of new jobs per Data Center).

"Always blame foreigners" is a core practice American political discourse, quite independly of which side of the Power Duopoly one is aligned with, probably because it perfectly dovetails with the American Exceptionalism the locals are indictrinated in their whole lives.

Any of you read the article that OpenAI wrote? Here's a quote: "The operation sought to exploit and amplify existing public concerns about energy prices and local impacts of data center development, but we found no evidence of meaningful breakout beyond its own activity ." So it's less "China is making you hate data centers" and more "they tried but it didn't work".

Easy to do when people don't fucking want them, and more specifically, they do not add any value to ppls lives, they only take to away. If only we have reps who represented anything but their own self interests.

More BS pre-IPO marketing PR, look our tech is so dangerous and scary China is trying to shut it down.

Even though China is basically in the lead with open weight models that use less energy to run (MoE) and cost (probably way) less than a tenth as much to train for around 90%+ the effectiveness of frontier models.

They absolutely do this but it doesn't mean anti datacenter people are wrong. Russia, China, Iran all use amplification techniques to destabilize other countries. You don't need a complex propaganda plan when you can just amplify every divisive topic and get brexit.

chatgpt is shitting on americans· how are people not supposed to turn on those grippers?

"Our PS2 is so powerful Iraq is building WMDs with it!"

China is not only pro-AI but demonstrably aided in electing the pro-AI GOP in the USA 2024 election cycle.

Because there is no Chinese campaign against data centers. China was simply pointing out the environmental and economic impacts data centers have on the areas around them.

Who is saying data centers are okay? They are not. And I do not even have any issue with LLM usage, yet I still recognize that data centers are incredibly resource-intensive and can have significant impacts on the communities that host them.
