"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

It could be strategic. Pollute the environment in poor communities that can't afford to fight it until it drives down property value, then buy the property and use it to generate even more profit.

Is this actually documented? It's not like there's a shortage of land

But the pollution they create is pretty much only CO2? So climate issue but not locally like NOx, SO2 or particulates.

and noise pollution and CH4 from fugitive emissions and heat

Okay, noise is a local issue. But much? I don't think their emissions matter locally. Let alone so much that it drives down property values.
