They're already poor. That's why they're being preyed upon by data centers

Why would he care? He's profited and scammed to the tunes of billions of dollars in profits off the presidency.

His power bill going up isn't a problem.

Is just a problem for everyone else who isn't a piece of shit.

“Mr. President: Think about farm land and about water resources, and a man as intelligent as you will see that the absolute position you are taking is flawed,” one user wrote. “What use is being rich if you cannot get access to water and food?”

Imagine saying “a man as intelligent as you” when talking about trump. Lol

If you listen really really closely, you'll get to hear what cognitive dissonance cracking sounds like.

They'll probably just patch the crack with ivermectin paste or something, but they're so close to realizing the grift, it's actually infuriating.

“I think what these companies have to do is take advantage of some of the federal deregulatory efforts that we’ve undertaken,” the US vice-president added. “If you build a datacenter, you should be putting power back into the grid, not taking it out. And if that is happening, I don’t think the datacenters are that controversial. It’s when the utility bills get so much higher that’s when it’s a real problem.”

Ummm...except that all those "federal deregulatory efforts" mean they don't have to do any of that in order to build them. So they won't, of course. Why would they, when you've already given them the free-reign to do whatever they want?

How do these clowns have any supporters left, at this point?

Their supporters are stupid and hateful, but the Republicans keep telling them that they are special, and better than the people they hate

What data centers are net energy negative? Maybe if they designed the building inefficiently large and then placed solar panels on the roof... Maybe. But I haven't seen any articles or papers or evidence of such a data center. Maybe some have on premise energy generators like natural gas but they are inherently less efficient than the state/federal/municipality ran ones which operate on a larger scale and enjoy the benefits of doing such.

Maybe a combination data center and nuclear power plant? But that's totally speculative and probably has never even been seriously sketched out.

These are outrageous statements. They try to exaggerate the power of the underlying technology to get us to focus our attention on science fictional scenarios over the real harms of how AI is being deployed. But few of them shook me as deeply as a statement from OpenAI CEO Sam Altman at Blackrock’s US Infrastructure Summit in March.

“We see a future where intelligence is a utility, like electricity or water, and people buy it from us on a meter,” said Altman, laying out an intensely dystopian future as just another business development. “One of the most important things in the future is that we make intelligence, to borrow an old phrase from the energy industry that didn’t quite work, ‘Too cheap to meter.’”

That's amazing. This guy is so out of touch he doesn't even understand how much he's sabotaging himself for the mid-terms.

How exactly are mutual funds the problem here? Red states banned local/state government funds from investing via BlackRock because it was considered too woke since they have a vested interest in the country lasting more than one quarter.

Yes. Every time. Your voice should be heard.

If you choose, voluntarily, to exclude yourself from the democratic process, then of course it doesn't work for you. It can't. How can it work for you, if you do not participate?

The people who want you to not vote are the same people who want to take away the right to vote entirely.

I don't believe he thinks anything. I'm not joking. He's said before he doesn't have an internal monolog. I think this guy is legit a psychological zombie.

I wish Trump had a list of his biggest donors taped to his forhead.

And a picture of the inauguration dinner on his suit.

Then the reasoning behind this would be obvious to his supporters...
