Data centers should be demolished by act of a real leader if we ever get one. They got this data by corrupt means perverting our laws and regulators. They deserve to lose their entire investments, that information is a threat to society and we should not allow tech lords to control it.
I don’t think there’s a single data center anywhere that a significant amount of locals are even ambilivient a out, let along support…
In pretty much every place, they’re getting massive tax breaks citizens pay for, and cheaper energy prices because citizens will pay the higher cost due to increased demand of the data center.
We need to seize all this shit from corps.
Stop fucking around, once trump is handled we need to nationalize a whole lot of shit that’s been privatized the last 50 years.

demolish
Fuck that, repurpose them. Even if you just break down the tech components and use the buildings for something unrelated.
They deserve to lose their entire investments
Yes, nationalization involves the seizing of resources…
I’m just saying there’s no reason to destroy anything

High Performance Compute for medical research to go with the free healthcare we should also have in this scenario.

That information is a danger in the hands of government. Burn the motherfuckers down. There is no legitimate need for that much computing power, all devoted to enslaving us.

You can’t even exfiltrate data reliably from a LLM - storage can be deleted, RAM is volatile anyways. No need for destruction at all, the compute itself is useful. There are so many science projects that currently don’t have the funding to get access to exactly the hardware that’s in use there.

I’ve also read reports that the noise levels and pollution coming out of these things is staggering. Not to mention they appear to be built as quickly as possible with little regard for laws and regulations.

Fucks the water up too.
People that live too close turn their taps open and can get barely a trickle, sometimes literally nothing.
Because the data centers are sucking up pitable water for cooling because it’s cheaper to run it wild open no matter what than paying for a sustainable cooling system up front.

That’s mainly Grok, since Elon did never even bother getting approval for the shitton of Gas Turbines he placed which wreak havoc on the air quality in Memphis. I think xAI is the only Datacenter running on 100% fossil fuels, without permission from any municipality..

Interesting! I was under the impression all data centers were causing similar problems, but leave it to the X Man to go the extra mile to really fuck things up. That piece of shit has unlimited money and still pulls shit like this.
Just to add to what you said, it appears Musk is in violation of EPA standards and they may be doing something about it: techspot.com/…/110971-epa-shuts-down-xai-off-grid…
