    Fun fact: data centers existed and were incredibly important pieces of digital infrastructure long before LLMs were publicly available. You don’t even know what a data center does apparently.

    Nor do you realize that my comment isn’t about the virtues of data centers or what happens in them, but rather, having a massively under-informed opinion based largely on emotions. Hate for the sake of hate. That’s what MAGA people do. You’re really doing to double down and tell me that “oh, well, not me, I’m not like that” with a straight face?

    Downvote all you like, it doesn’t make your heart kind, or your mind work better.

      We actually have very good reasons to be telling society destroying tech speculators to take their “but muh inovashions” “diruptions bro” and fuck off and die in a slit trench.

        But you do realize that un-innovative, plain old data centers not for bots and AI are a thing, right?

        You literally can’t throw your opinion at me without them.

            Where do you think Lemmy instances are hosted? I know for a fact mine is hosted in a Hetzner center. Not in the corner of someone’s living room, on an old computer.

            I think you meant to say that to the absolute anti-data center person, not me. I’m trying to explain that not all data centers are for LLMs and therefore killing the planet at hyperspeed.
