    Why is that my job? I oppose data centers, I’ll state that plainly since you can’t seem to reason.

      That’s an odd position to take, considering (according to your own words anyway) data centers are just a technology, and it’s the use that matters. And we all know where those local models really come from.

        It’s odd to oppose the concentration of access to hardware, and the resulting corporation-owned monopoly? You think data centers are “just a technology?” Where do local models “really come from” and why do you think it matters?

        This should be entertaining…

            Sprawling, unnecessary, wasteful buildings containing technologies seized from the public so that corporations can establish a monopoly on technology that should be freely available for everyone.

              As far as I can tell, the data centers and that theft are mandatory for making the models to begin with. Everybody talks about ethical ones, but they don’t use them because they suck too much.

              Computer hardware, training algorithms, and data models are absolutely technology, regardless of whether they are stolen or not. If you believe some technology (read: AI data centers) exhibits inherent evil, that’s great because I agree.
