@GreenFire@mstdn.social I assumed in the context of "attacks on data centers" you meant "attacks on all the new data centers being built for AI slop factories", because I have never heard of anyone complain about any other kind of data centre. I do NOT consider those to be particularly useful when compared to how much energy they consume.

    @Salty@mastodon.nz Yes, AI and data centers have become conflated for sure. As a climate scientist who has long used matrix algebra, it would be hypocritical for me to be strongly opposed to others using that technology. I do understand how scary it can be. I think we've survived worse "threats", but only time will tell.
