    The “AI boom” concept doesn’t make sense to me. What do they think we need the “AI” for? I find that I don’t need it for anything, and as I’m “being left behind” without using it, I still wonder what they think I should need it for.

    In my experience the “AI” chatbots are useful for people who don’t know how to do anything. But I’ve spent my life learning how to do everything I ever wanted to learn how to do, so I just don’t need that.

    What are all of these data centers for? Do they really need hundreds of data centers? Are they going to build a bunch of data centers and half sit unused or underutilized?

      Palantir is the profit-driven offshoot of this program. It’s mostly infrastructure for privatized mass surveillance services. Also why the push for age verification and ID is happen alongside this.

      The funny part is that the USA doesn’t have enough electric generation infrastructure to power more than a small sliver of all the planned AI data centers.
