Meta's $10 billion Louisiana data center is getting $3.3 billion in tax breaks—more than seven years of the state's entire police budget

At least 36 states currently provide tax breaks for companies to build the facilities, coming at a cost of billions in forgone revenue. Virginia, the state with the most data centers, is dishing out $1.9 billion annually to data center developers. For Georgia, it’s $2.6 billion annually, according to an official state estimate. And after offering $150 million in breaks in 2024, Texas’s comptroller’s office this year upped that number to more than $1 billion annually, a nearly 567% increase in just one year.

Shut up, Jeff Besos. Shut the fuck up.

This is the propaganda accelerationists eat up. It’s these sequence of ideas connected by disjointed question marks, and all that matters is where they arrive: Utopia. Questioning whether anything anything makes sense leading up to its arrival is straight up not productive.

If you think Besos doesn’t make sense or is all over the place, it’s because you aren’t his target audience here. He is speaking to the gullible.

It drives me nuts how accelerationists are so delusioned into the singularity that they think people hate AI because they are afraid about jobs.

And instead of asking people why they are against AI, I often see them ask other accelerationists why people dislike it — in a sub that expressly forbids "Luddites" from commenting.

Enter the echo chamber.

Internet of Shit: AI Poop Analysis App Offered to Sell Me Database of Its Users' Poops

Research has shown, over and over again, that de-identified “anonymous” data doesn’t necessarily remain anonymous when combined with other datasets. Toward the end of last year, the appliance giant Kohler endured a security shitshow when a researcher showed that its stool-analyzing smart toilet camera was not actually properly encrypting the images that it sent to Kohler. The concern there was that your poop data would be somehow accessed by bad actors. In the case of PoopCheck, anyone can simply buy access.  

After I told Marco I was writing an article about PoopCheck and its database, he stopped responding to me and did not answer any of my questions.

Taking someone's art and then running it through AI is just evil.

Note:

I am in no way encouraging tribalism. I am merely demonstrating how a portion of the AI community thinks.

The first screenshot also caught a really gross comment in response to running someone's art through AI.

So this person's art got run through AI and they did not give their consent to that. The second screenshot reflects perfectly why this is scummy.

The person prompting the image in the second screenshot prompted these image, because they were feeling "petty".

It is already wrong to put any art through AI, but to do it because one feels petty is just gross. This is exactly what happened with DDLC.

When Team Salvato released their statement an influx of DDLC slop came forth. The behavior that exists within these communities is really icky.

Of course I am not saying every single person does this, but also this behavior isn't exactly new and tends to happen a lot.

That being said, please judge every person individually, instead of lumping everyone together.

Finally, this individual did this twice. Once after OOP made their stance clear and second time to make a "response". The response did not need to have that prompt.

“AI creates a lot of content in general, compared to any other content source,” the AI bro said. “Nobody [sic] forced to trust evething they see.”
