Almost Half of US Data Centers That Were Supposed to Open This Year Slated to Be Canceled or Delayed - Reddthat

Lemmy

Ok, so they bought billions of dollars of ram/storage, to put inside servers that haven’t been bought yet, to put inside data centers that haven’t been built yet, in order to run AI that doesn’t work yet, in order to chase profits that are impossible to achieve.

And now, despite driving ram prices up to absurd prices, you’ve begun to realize the same thing all of us knew from before day one. NOBODY WANTS THIS SHIT!!!

I agree with you completely, but,

I wouldn’t say “no one wants this” though. The oligarchs have poured in billions and bought off every media company to constantly spout off about ai companies so your general normie thinks its “the future”. Almost every single (normie) person I know (except 1 who is anti AI, and he’s a geek) is using some form of slopbot for tons of things. Easy excel formulas (that anyone can do), turning pictures black and white (that literally any photo program has been able to do for 30+ years) , to summarize documents (because people are idiots now and have no reading comprehension) etc. The normies LOVE it and eat up the slop. Especially if they were stupid at computers before, now they think they’re on the level of woz because they told a chatbot to make slop code.

Its only here on Lemmy that people dislike it. The rest of the world is already addicted, and we are screwed.

The only people who are excited for AI are twitter users and rich people. It’s not just in Lemmy.
Haha so right on the Twitter users. Funny how much correlation there is. Low intelligence - xitter - sloperator user.
People dont need to be excited for it to want & use it.
I’ve seen quite a few people who make casual use of it. The key point is that it is currently free to them. As soon as it starts costing money, a lot will bail on it.
Several people I know have decided to already start paying for it.

thinks its “the future”

Sort of, yeah. The thing is… it IS the future, whether we like it or not… it’s just not the PRESENT.

Yeah, lead pipes were the future too when they were first brought in 😁

Also: PLASTIC!

(Enough, please make all this “future progress” stop?)

Hmm it is different in my bubble. Most of the people I know use AI sparingly and generally do not trust the results without checking.
i used it for the first time a month ago, it does not give even correct info, it just Assume what it sees from other sites, it doesnt have “checks” to see which ones are comments, post or blogs over official info.
