'A Big F*ck You to Big Tech': New Jersey Residents Defeat AI Data Center - Lemmy.World

Sacramento (the state-side of it) is entertaining plans going in the opposite direction of New Jersey. A recent deal wants to let Meta in here on the promise: they’ll build some affordable housing, they’ll refurbish some old state buildings (for Meta use), and something for the local college. The reaction here is {bear looking sideways meme}.

Bets on where the surprise ai data center will be?

Why the fuck are they putting Sac State housing in the Capitol Mall area??? It’s like 3 miles from the school… The light rail is nearby, but still, the Sac State Station is a few blocks from the edge of a pretty large campus.

Theory. Meta will pre fill-up their housings with overseas students\programmers. Try and get them to play snd spend their money in downtown.

High chance it flops. Rich kids live and go where they please. At he first sign of boredom, they’ll fiip, sublet, or AirB&B it just to not be in downtown.
