Bubble? The Chinese models are about 6 months behind the US companies. However, that's like a concept car. Nobody is driving it yet. The real difference is the ecosystem. China had about a quarter of the computational power of the US. That allows US companies better access and spreads the potential list of innovators across a much wider pool. That's also remarkable because the Chinese have about twice as much electricity capacity and obviously very limited environmental concerns.

The US currently uses access to AI as a foreign policy tool as well, which has been extremely effective at countering the Chinese belt & road initiative. Right or wrong, AI is the bet to grow productivity while population declines. Whoever wins this race will set the system for the next generation.

independent reviews have refuted most of that stuff. most of them don't generate noise complaints, they generate a tiny percent of emissions, and use about as much water as an avg office building

Running backup generators permanently is incredibly expensive and will wear them out. This is a great opportunity for Florida though. We can just build some power plants and invite the data centers to build here.

public opinion is purely based on vibes of "computer/screen = bad" and hating data centers is just a proxy for general malaise and desire for punishment. you could also argue that, I don't know, the downtowns of cities are huge sources of noise pollution and water consumption, because anything where stuff happens in a concentrated area is.

yeah the water consumption always seemed like a silly argument because all the computer stuff we already do consumes a bunch of water, and closed-loop cooling systems recycle the water anyways. like when someone writes an insta comment like "yOu WaStEd WaTeR fOr ThIs?" in response to someone using AI for something, i'm like "bro you just wasted water writing this comment" lol.

the sound one is legit though, and it's not just the perceptible sound; they can also make residents ill with infrasound pollution. yes cities are also loud but this is qualitatively different. and even if it were just comparable to city noise, many people who don't live in cities value not having to deal with that.

I'm not saying there is no proof that any data centers pollute or use water or are noisy, but I tend to be much more skeptical of the kinds of sensationalized influencer propagated content that make blanket statements against a technology being Bad, and that this technology does x, y and z universally, and take more seriously independent reviews that actually look at the specifications of specific instances of it. I can't say that generally no data centers do things that some people wouldn't like, but what I can say with confidence is that the concerns are overblown and it is suspicious that they are directed at "data centers" vs. anything else. why suddenly the focus on "data centers" vs. other technologies that use electricity and water? there are obviously motivations behind the fixation and those motivations can be attacked. It has become a politically charged category onto which people project broader anxieties about AI, corporations, and technological change. I become really skeptical when politically charged categories like this arise. You could have two equally polluting and energy using facilities, a manufacturing plant and a data center and people will oppose the data center now because of vibes, with no material difference between them.

yeah your position that the criticism is overblown is defensible considering how much you like computer. i don't think it's overblown based on the concrete evidence i've seen of communities facing these issues plus all my doubts about the direction of technology. for me personally the biggest issue is the surveillance state aspect of it. they only need to build all these data centers bc this industry is all about extracting and selling our data and using it to manipulate and ultimately control us. we're not building these so like AI can discover cures for diseases lol.

LOL you are an ignoramus who gets your 'information' from TikTok slop.

LOL the sound? These are built in industrial zones and are located far enough away with buffers that they can't be heard. Pollution? It's literally a bunch of fucking computer racks....there is no fucking pollution. Studies are mixed on the electricity cost, with some showing they actually reduce costs. Water usage is less than heavy industry and less than agriculture, before even factoring in that they produce a lot more value per dollar consumed than these other industries.

Why would you be against it? Most of the anti-datacenter sentiment is driven by what borderline amounts to propaganda and misinformation along with general anti-sentiment. At the very least it is amplification of some legit concerns and oversimplification. There is strong evidence of some of it being driven by literal foreign propaganda. Data centers are essential infrastructure for cloud computing, scientific research and ai. Regulations on it doesn't evens top it, it just slows it down and makes it more expensive, then smaller providers can't compete with aws, microsoft and google.

That's all subjective vibes based bs. Noones slowing down the economy, and not building the tech they want because you think data centers are ugly and don't like computers.

the question was, "why would anyone be against data centers." i explained why

as to whether data centers are "ugly," for your further understanding, that's not it. they're a symbol of a life / country / future that people don't want

but this aside, to your point about not building "the tech," though it wasn't the original point of this subthread wasteland, as someone in the Valley, I can tell you that the infrastructure bubble (i.e., more specific than "AI" adoption as a whole) is and will slow

Ok, so given the election results what will stop them from building a bunch of data centers in rural Florida?

So if they build large data centers in Florida then they are done. They can use that to service all the AI they need. This isn't generally a super latency sensitive function.

nothing. data center capacity under construction increased like 25% between December 2025 and June 2026. it's a Joke noone is stopping shit. you can have restrictive policies on certain projects and in certain areas and still have massive nationwide expansion. that's another reason I'm not big on heavy regulations, it just makes things more expensive and slower and doesn't stop huge hyperscalers with deep pockets so it stifles competition and smaller players

Right, but there will be places like Florida where even the smaller players can set up shop. There is no reason why you need to build a data center in California or some other place likely to cause problems for you.

Libs love the idea of AI tech further hollowing out the middle class and bloating the surveillance state as a concept, but the idea of it involving actual humans actually building shit in this country that might benefit someone other than the ultra wealthy & Chinese is a bridge too far

The fear of job loss is what's driving the anti-AI and data center sentiment. Most of the other stuff ("they're noisy!") is just bs cover that doesn't withstand scrutiny. The GOP has been far more willing to allow AI companies to develop without regulation.

If we're headed to an awful dystopia because of AI then we should work to limit or regulate as we've done with nukes. "but, but, but CHINA!" isn't an argument.

China isn't going to "limit or regulate" jack shit. worrying about regulating it is all the more reason to do it here

no one has ever even coherently said what AI even does. fme it's just a possibly better/often wrong google search version and writes long winded obviously fake sounding and often factually incorrect emails. plus the whole making fake nude pics of girls you went to HS with thing

What AI does? It can basically do 95% of stuff white collar workers do. Write code? It can do that and very quickly. Do legal analysis? Yep. Turn everything you did into a quick status report entry? Absolutely. It can replace rooms full of customer service agents. It can replace rooms full of coders. Yes, there will still be a need for SOME humans but it will be a fraction of what you see now. That said, the idea of "regulating it" seems naive. It just won't work.

I'm not even sure that will work. AI isn't like nukes even though people keep acting like it is. You can't access nukes through the cloud. Unless everyone on the planet agrees to limit AI and enforce it you're going to see AI continue to be used everywhere relatively unfettered.

Yeah, sure. You realize that many American companies love using Chinese LLMs over American ones because they're better, right? Especially in the area of on-prem AI.
