Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•"Farms use more water than Al data centers" OK, I'll go without Al and you can go without food and we'll see who lasts longer
131·1 month agoI keep seeing this argument and it stinks of astroturfing. Probably to portray data centers the same as farms: a resource-intensive but necessary infrastructure. If they wanted to make a good faith argument, it would be good courses, not farms. And I could also go without golf.
Focusing solely on water consumption with these arguments is another red flag. Its easy to find false equivalencies with water, but no other project demands double the power output of the entire state it’s in, and not many other projects have as bad a ratio of taxpayer dollars spent to revenue generated.

Not only that, but it gives the other side a dangerous amount of legitimacy if we treat “both sides” as equally valid.
There are a lot of beliefs and opinions that are just bad and should only be ridiculed.
But he’s creating jobs, apparently!

Correction: capitalism is better than socialism because our taxes pay for one person to have a trillion dollars instead of everyone having health care.

692·1 month agoNah, Pritzker has been pretty good about enacting policies that are actually meaningfully effective. He’s likely prepping for a 2028 presidential run, but he’s still getting good stuff done in Illinois.

Games@lemmy.world•Until Dawn 2 - Announce Trailer | PS5 GamesEnglish
12·1 month agoMy wife is really into weird horror films, so I got her to sit with me and play Until Dawn. She likes it because she gets to participate without actually having to play. She enjoyed it so much that we went on to lksy every Dark Pictures Anthology game, the Quarry, and we even pre-ordered Directive 8020. So no doubt she’s going to want to get this.
The sentiment that people don’t want to work anymore is correct, but not for the reasons they’re saying.
Nobody wants to do to the work of developing and mentoring entry-level hires. Hence entry-level positions requiring 5 years of experience in a technology that’s only existed for 3.
Nobody wants to do the work of making a productive work environment, instead saddling one person with the responsibility of three. And not paying them appropriately.
Nobody wants to do the work of making a product people actually want to use before aggressively monetizing it.
Nobody wants to do the work of researching a technology before milking it for every penny. See: AI.
I could go on.
