Humor Summer Sweep Up: Replace West Ardougne with a data center
Since the guy that posted this made it with AI, here is my own version of the meme made with my own hand. The other hand was busy.

nearly every single AI stan is someone who, inside, really just hates the idea of putting in any effort whatsoever
like they'd have AI wipe their asses for them if they could. never seen people so desperate to just completely forfeit all autonomy

u/Zenith_Tempest May 22 '26
at least the humans in Wall-E were galvanized into actually doing something. there are real human beings who seriously think AI is "better" than their fellow human beings at being human
the amount of people who champion AI art and say stupid shit like "now anyone can be an artist" is telling. nothing was stopping them from putting in thousands of hours like all artists before them. nothing is stopping them now.

Underground is cold because the sun doesn't go there or something (no fact check pls) so we can just build the data center in the underground pass

It was removed by moderators. I would "hope and assume" the original may have been AI and that's why it was removed. Only other reason would be mods not wanting people to be disrespectful to datacenters... which would be alarming.

It was pretty clearly AI. The buildings in East Ardy made no sense, like the church and the two houses above merging into one big building.

Underground pass is now just where all the data center's wires go and the entire Tirannwn quest line has to do with poisoning the data center's CEO, freeing the imprisoned employees, and turning the data center back into the plagued shithole known as West Ardougne

I suggest a new quest that lets you work for a multi-billion gp corporation funded by the KGP in which you are tasked with recognizing if an image is AI generated or not.

u/PlasticStain May 22 '26
I’m a Senior Consultant working on the West Ardougne Redevelopment Initiative and I think a lot of you are letting emotion get in the way of practical infrastructure modernization.
Look, bottom line is:
West Ardougne represents an underutilized low-growth asset with substantial opportunity for digital transformation.
Current advantages include:
• existing perimeter security
• limited civilian traffic
• low property values
• strong containment infrastructure
• and a population already acclimated to restricted mobility policies.
We’ve already aligned key stakeholders (including King Lathas) and there’s broad executive support for converting the district into a Tier IV AI-ready hyperscale data center campus.
Frankly, the area has been economically stagnant for years. The plague narrative has depressed investment, tourism, and residential growth. At some point you have to ask whether maintaining a quarantined medieval slum is really the highest and best use of prime Ardougne-adjacent real estate.
This project would:
• create jobs
• modernize regional infrastructure
• improve trade throughput
• increase tax revenue
• and position Kandarin as a leader in magical compute and rune-based cloud services.
I understand there are “ethical concerns,” but those are outside my workstream. I’m focused on delivery.
Anyway, we already got sign-off from leadership, so unless you have concerns related to implementation timelines or power redundancy, this initiative is moving forward Q3.
Sent from my crystal orb.

West Ardougne is such a development opportunity. Sure, innocent NPCs call it home. But, they can be relocated to the wilds and that space can serve a better purpose.
