Of course they should be opposed. Even today nobody can articulate the benefits of alternative intelligence. This is just another version of risky kool-aid being passed around. The only goal is making you dependent and getting your hard-earned dollar. Fuck that particular brand of bullshit.

It's a genie that can grant any wish

-Sam Altman

What a fucking wanker. Somehow, everyone in charge of everything is too stupid and too corrupt to call shenanigans on this shit.

Plus, genies usually fuck you over when you make your wish; they don't work like the DIsney Genie.

Especially if those data centres run on fossil fuels (methane, diesel, etc).

Government "So you want some AI data centres?"

No goverment has ever cared about "the majority of their citizens" when the people on top prefer else wise.

No one cares. Doug Ford has been paid, and Brookfield makes datacentres.

ITT: people who don't know how the medical system stores and securely shares health data between hospitals.

That's not what AI data centers are for... I'd agree to a normal "data storage" style data center that doesn't consume exorbitant amount of power and cooling.

Given the amount of XP based hardware and passwords on postit notes, I just assumed that nothing was stored or shared securely.
