Do you know why OHIO is getting so many.
In AWS it's the location of US-EAST2

It also houses a NAP (Network Access Point) all traffic flows through in that region, we have one in MIAMI that has the trans-ocean (doesn't mean lake... for lefties), fiber has been run.

It's the fastest path to the internet to be in a NAP i have clients in the Miami NAP.

I hear all of this fear, and I think:
- Buggy Whips
- Where are the poop scoopers (horses) supposed to work?
- Violent Protests against Electric Sewing Machines
- "If you don't get your shot, mine won't work"

Be honest. Assume an AI figures out how to kill us all TOMORROW.
And it does it. How long do you think that AI will stay turned on?
Do you think the power it is running on is infinite? Or will it teach the roomba's to do disco over a magnet and generate energy?

Unlike Ants... We provide the power that lets the AI live. Without us, there is no AI.

Right now, small towns to the west of me are fighting another data center location. Ohio seems to have an inordinate number of them, either in place or in development. Petitions are flying around with warnings about ground water depletion, heat islands, electrical blackouts and brownouts, drastically rising utility costs. Trying to find objective information (i.e. the actual facts) is very difficult. Sifting fact from fiction is almost impossible for those of us with limited knowledge of AI workings.

A quick 1 minute search using AI... Peter Singer, William MacAskill, Toby Ord, Dustin Moskovitz, Cari Tuna, Holden Karnofsky, and Nick Bostrom are the main people behind Effective Altruism. They are opposed to DDT and instead distribute Mosquito nets to prevent malaria and vitamin A for blindness through their charities like Against Malaria Foundation, Give Directly, Malaria Consortium, Helen Keller International, New Incentives, Evidence Action to the tune of 600 million. I can use AI to find there is a tremendous amount of overkill there so where is the money REALLY going?This is why they are afraid of AI. 95% of malaria is in Sub Saharan Africa and almost 50% of Vitamin A deficiencies in children. So the real question is why are these people so heavily invested in having a presence in Africa? It costs 2$ per net to make and 3$ to ship. It would be wiser to make them local and provide jobs to boot. then they could buy them for themselves. So what's really going on? Are these just really smart-stupid rich people? AI provided by: Duck Duck Go!

If we Limit AI in the US then only other countries can use it.

There are number of professionally made signs around my area proclaiming NO DATA CENTER. A lot of my neighbors, most of whom use Google and like how fast it is, are on board with stopping the proposed local data center. I have yet to get anywhere in suggesting they ask who is behind trying to prevent the data center.

Myself, I aware of the pre-indexing that goes into constructing a large dataset. Most others, including some techy guys, are not. Meanwhile, the PRC and others steam ahead.

Yup. The AI cartel is pulling up the ladders.

Good read, thanks markjr. Here's a simplification from my thoughts: If comrade Bernie Sanders hates it and cloaks it in fear porn, then I'll embrace it and give it a go - nice try, comrade.

Zerohedge agrees with that hypothesis:
