No more resources for data centres.

It's fucking insane that we are pumping trillions into replacing human workers when we can't even provide everyone with food, housing, and healthcare.

These companies need to be stopped.

We aren‘t spending trillions on data centers. The elites that hoarded all the wealth like a bunch of dragons do. And they will keep funding our decline until we do something about it.

You know, Siegfried probably had the right idea dumping all that gold into a river after slaying the dragon.

we could provide everyone with food, housing and healthcare. we chose not to. it’s more important for jeff to get another yacht and a fancy wedding in venice.

Yes, which is why we not to draw a line in the sand and demand no more building of data centers.

If there's nothing in it for us, or all we get are the externalities, we should say no, as forcibly as is necessary.

I don't fucking want a job. I want progress.

Build the data centres.

Lmfao, "progress"

If you want a vacuous word then buy a dictionary or a sign that says "progress".

If you want a real thing that tangibly benefits a real person, I'm listening.

LLMs are dead-end tech. There is no progress to be made there, dumbass
