A broken clock is right twice a day.
More like a misprinted calendar is right once a year.
Sometimes even a calculator can be a clock.
They can also spell 80082
A website advertising the rallies lists what it sees as the dangers of data centers: secrecy, water use, air pollution, national security, energy, land use and noise.
This sounds great!
If you go to their website and see some more valid concerns mixed with these valid ones. Noise pollution. Children being driven to suicide. But wait, there's some weird stuff.
if we lose control of superintelligent AI…
[ellipsis theirs]
And then you look at their call to action, and it features nothing about water, air, noise, energy, land pollution, child abuse, suicide. The only part left is the wacky stuff, warning AI will become super powerful and begging for strict regulation and testing that would squeeze out anybody but the biggest AI companies.
This project is a fucking bait and switch.
Frontier AI models will be restricted only for government and megacorp use, not available to all, that was always the goal.
This just gets plebes on board with it.
maybe start protesting the cheeto in the white house shitposting AI images all the damn time.
No no no, trust me, they all use AI. They just don't want it in their backyards.
This is the kind of stuff they use to build in predominantly minority neighborhoods. White people are angry that their skin color is no longer protecting them from it.
Aiming the NIMBY cannon at the right target for once. Broken clock and all.
Cool. They're still raping kids though.
Which nation?
I think the US, but the website is paywalled so can't be sure. Not bet on brand for them I must say. Normally that are all in favour of killing the future in favour of a quick buck.
fukken lol
lmao even
Do I even dare a ROFL?
I think that would be appropriate.

Obligatory “nobody tell them” comment
How shocking that this suddenly coincides with every AI model now charging even for “free” use
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
