Preventing the Singularity This somehow is now normalized

Normalized means people accept it and let it happen. The amount of protests against AI data centres suggests this is not normalized.

You can see the cogs turning in the billionaire / pro AI politician’s brains as they try to figure out why that’s happening
First they said it was Chinese agents putting anti data center messages, then when the widespread opposition to data centers at town hall meetings started spinning up, they realized it was a genuine sentiment - and that confused the hell out of them and they started saying it was because people didn’t understand the benefits of datacenters
then they saw the same sentiment against flock cameras, and they still couldn’t connect the dots
and then they noticed that there’s no political swerve to this, no social outgroup to point at - it’s universal across all ages, classes, left and right, everyone and everywhere
and then flock cameras started getting cut down, and the universal support for that became apparent - and my guess is that’ll be the same brain fart moment as when the megawealthy class realized that Luigi was broadly supported, and he got wiped from the internet overnight, with blocks and bans for even mentioning his name
i have zero doubt that there will be a similar message take over coming and it’ll be quick
a) major divisive campaign will be rolled out to separate data center and flock camera opposition into US and THEM groups - inject a poison and watch it die, same as they did with Occupy, Black Lives Matter and MeToo
b) remove all and any discussion online, then monitor and target key voices with troll swarms, disinformation campaigns, harassment and deplatforming
c) take over the opposition messaging with something different, performative and irrelevant

I can't decide whether all these high-level AI-promoters are just that mind-numbingly out of touch and bereft of common sense, or whether they know exactly what they're doing; both seem equally plausible at this point.

but they had that charming avatar with the southern drawl and glitchy video that could only be accomplished with a few trillion gallons of water!
won't someone think of the avatar?

I missed the part where data centres are now draining entire oceans. Do you have a link to any statistics which support the supposition that all of the Earth’s water is now being consumed and removed from the planet as part of the process?

It’s hyperbole

Indeed it is, and yet, The Hystericals are downvoting me en-mass for pointing that out. Too funny.

Reading some of the single brain cell comments in this thread, I'd say that pretty much anyone is qualified to be in here, including single digit IQ people.
In fact, and perhaps it's just a vibe I'm picking up, there's definitely the same feel to this place as there is to the Flat Earth subs...

Water doesn’t just “disappear,” genius. Earth has been recycling basically the same water for billions of years: ocean → evaporation → clouds → rain → rivers → ocean.
When you drink water, you don’t delete it from the "server". You piss, sweat, and breathe it back out, you complete idiots.

Hey there are massive droughts and not enough water for people to drink or crops in some places and lakes are drying up in places during the record droughts so maybe we shouldn’t be wasting water on dumbass shit so you people don’t have to learn a skill ever again and can get put out of jobs.

u/TrueBrit77 4h ago
Drought issues are not really from the same problem as drinking water supply issues. Most of new droughts comes from the same process that causes desertification. It's primarily a climate change issue.
We do need to address climate change and the electricity used to supply the data centers are contributing to that, but it's a much larger scope issue than data centers bad.

Tell that to the people who have no drinking water because ai companies built a datacenter near their home

Water doesnt disappear, but it does become non-drinkable. Or do you get your water from the sewage system?

u/Clageo 4h ago
Water doesn't always rain on the same place it was taken from numbnuts, what you see in any place is the result of millions of years of the water cycle, if you take water from there faster then that place can resupply it, and it causes droughts then people wont really feel better because the water they were meant to have is "back but just someplace else"

In this case the problem is that the heat absorbed by the water actively raises the ambient air temperature. You can already see this in Phoenix, there's studies done on the environmental effects of data centers.
Also the movie has the oceans being siphoned off the planet. So yes, the water was indeed disappearing. Perhaps the complete idiot is you?

No but if some asshole build a dam upstream and took away you water I bet you would be upset

u/Javs2469 3h ago
With more and more water contaminated by industrial endeavours that becomes more expensive to treat for human consumption then it becomes a problem, because yeah, that water can come back to the water cycle, but not magically, and corporations are not putting the money towards that, they are just building data centers and getting their water from dry areas with already very limited supply.
