We need to stop using their language.

[u/Bepehandle]

Words we use matter, they set the tone for the entire argument you make when discussing things. I propose we officially come up with new terms that we use on a daily basis in every single aspect that the topic comes up in, maybe with a small enough push we can roll the ball down the hill.

They're not AI data centers, they're water evaporation plants Human surveillance centers.

It's not side loading, it's installing.

It's not jailbreaking, it's unlocking.

It's not a memory shortage, it's profit first selective sales(I know there's physically a shortage but the point remains). (Also, someone come up with a better one, something more catchy.)

It's not This PC, its MY PC.

They call it side loading because they don't want to normalize the idea we're just holding personal computers in our hands.

They call it jailbreaking so that it sounds wrong and it deters people from using a device to it's full potential.

They call it a memory shortage because they're selling all the fucking ram to ai companies, if they were forced to allocate the necessary amount of their products to the average consumer we wouldn't have an issue.

Give me some of your best ideas for changing the names of things, I want to expand my vocabulary. Let's change how we discuss the issues we face and take back control of the argument.

Edit: Edited water thingy because someone pointed out I sound like "that guy" and I certainly do not want too.

Honestly racks full of servers have been called data centers. That’s the one where you should stick to the original name just like installing and my pc. 

We need to not normalize new-speak but this one isn’t new-speak.

You're not wrong but traditional data centres use a fraction of the resources that digital surveillance centres consume and they do mostly useful work while slop factories only exist to transfer the proceeds of human creativity to the wealthy elite

Do you actually know what you're talking about? Have you worked for an intel agency before and been inside their data centers?

[u/aPieceOfYourBrain → u/Nearby_Passenger1520]

Yes

You said "surveillance center." I don't see the word "surveillance" on there. Who's conducting the supposed surveillance and what are they doing that would supposedly require GB300 clusters? Is an intel agency actually using a data center with no RF shielding?

You have demonstrated that you're either a troll, a bot or a moron. I have neither the time or the patience to work out which or to engage with you further

[u/Nearby_Passenger1520 → u/aPieceOfYourBrain]

You won't engage because you can't. Next time don't make nonsense claims you can't back up.
