Yup, and now Anthropic is complicit in the environmental damage and health problems for local residents that these data centers are causing.

But hey, number must go up, right?

Have you considered that the march of progress requires human blood to grease the gears and mulched skulls to pave the (highly efficient) road? Really, when you take into account all of the future lives this will improve and save it's difficult to claim any cost now is too high. Would you stand in their way and delay the day that Mythos cures cancer?

This is a joke. Read it in a mocking tone.

I wonder what percentage of GDP expenditure will give us SkyNet.

Undoubtedly, it will find cures to all cancers… The ARR and stock appreciation will be amazing. Except the cures will be found long after it has wiped out all humans.

		Wiping out all humans _is_ the cure.

		Already so many people are treating it as a higher being, believing whatever that comes out of it

I'm not saying human blood and mulched skulls are a renewable source of power, I'm just saying. Or maybe they can partner with SoulCycle to power computation with 24/7 spin classes?

Always felt like it would've made more sense if it was using part of the peoples' brains to do their computation, as super energy efficient computers.

		I believe that was in the original script, and rewritten after some exec didn't understand how brains could be computers.

A superintelligent AI will be safe though, because it learnt its morality from us.

		Doesnt AI learning its morality from humans makes it unsafe, I mean just look at some cases, humans dont exactly always have good morals

Do you think Boris cares about people getting cancer and dying from these data centers? No, he cares about becoming rich as fuck.

		This is simply called disruption. They really don't care.

Given how much our EPA has been gutted by the current administration, I don’t think relief is very likely.
