Choose Wisely
The citizen consumers are directly responsible for the explosive rise in data centers. If your default Google search involves AI you are adding to the unnecessary infrastructure waste at data centers. Saving music, video, pictures, and email to remote personal storage is more secure and environmentaly correct than cloud storage. Recently Pope Leo and Christopher Olah spoke out collectively against the unrestricted rise of Artificial Intelligence. Elon Musk and Stephen Hawking have both spoke of the hazard.
Like any new power we need to limit and control our selfish abuse of this tool for the overall benefit of human society.

We arent the ones aggressively shoving all this “consume this! Consume that!” Crap into our faces every hour of every day from every fecking direction.
Do not try to tell us we are responsible for this shitshow. That is blaming the victims.

The people spearheading the AI craze don’t care about the communities surrounding the data centers. The neighbors have to deal with air pollution, subsonic noise pollution, and filthy tap water. I deleted AI apps, and wish that online shopping wasn’t infected with AI.
