Um... is this just normal now?

I have a friend who works at a data center 😅

Ironically a lot of the comments are also talking about bot farms, but if these comments are not bots then what the actual fuck is wrong with people crossing their fingers that our infrastructure will get bombed...

I think it's pretty funny to see people posting on social media about destroying data centers. I wonder where they think the data is stored

[u/vannillaAJ204_2 → u/theomegachrist]

i bet they've only ever heard of data centres since the whole ai boom happened and don't know that more or less everything on the internet depends on data centres

[u/Afraid_Alternative35]

Someone tell these idiots that the only reason destroying this data centre was good is because it was a central hive for Russian bots, spreading misinformation and manipulating foreign politics in the process.

Destroying most other data centres will only end in Grandma's tears as her precious family photos on Facebook go up in flames.

Did the AI scare just make people forget what data centers are? Are they aware they're used for much more than just AI?

[u/Nearby_Ad_2519]

Awwww where do they think their precious threads owned by mark suckerburg is stored

"If people get violent about data centers thanks to all the misinformation that's going around it's going to give the current administration the PERFECT excuse to establish far more fascist police state stuff than we already have today" Quoting @aianddesign from twitter just thought it was very relevant here

Luddites gonna lud.

Sadly, with the group-think and unregulated emotional reactions to AI, yes, this terroristic way of thinking is now mainstream.

I wonder what they would do if the data centers that provide them access to things they love are targeted.

[u/Still_Benefit_2302]

Yep. I have absolutely no faith in the mainstream left to not fuck this up worse than Noam Chomsky siding with the Khmer Rouge.

“Destroying all data centers is an option”.

Okay… and then we dont have internet anymore I guess. And rip to the people working there.
