It’s the expected effect of our healthcare industry / our governments sentiment towards it’s own civilian population. Treating people this way ensures maximum profit margin.

In a similar vein, our EPA recently derated the economic value of a human life to $0.00. Used to be some bogus number like $2.5mil or whatever that the average individual contributes to the GDP over their lifetime. How can you insure an asset that has no value?

It would not surprise me to see OSHA fully eliminated within the next 6 months, because what’s the purpose of protecting the working force if the economy doesn’t need them?

Christ almighty, we’ve rotted from the inside out. We don’t have a recognized party that actually cares about people.

But only for corporations. Computer assisted manufacturing is being outlawed for hobbyists.

I don’t think these data centers really are for LLMs. Right now, I can go to a dozen websites and use some LLM, without sitting on a wait list, for exactly $0.00 out of my pocket. So there’s obviously enough processing power to meet demand as-is, but… What? Demand will skyrocket when they crank up the fees? OpenAI operated around ~$18 billion in deficit last year, is everyone really gonna pay $200 - $600 per month for this? Plus, LLMs are reaching a plateau, more data doesn’t equal a more coherent model, they’re running into a dead end.

My local data center is steamrolling over public opinion. We’re not allowed to ask who will own it, how much power it will consume, nothing. “Officially,” the installation has stalled, but they’re still bulldozing the trees to make the lot where its supposed to go.

My personal conspiracy theory is that this is coming from Palantir, laundering resources through the tech companies, using DoD money. The data centers aren’t for LLMs, but to build out a massive dragnet to track civilian travel, who goes where and when, to be used by DHS. That explains why they need to be distributed geographically per capita, the extreme secrecy around them, and the way utility companies and local politicians keep bending over despite public outcry.

Awfully big words, for someone who doesn’t believe in germ theory.

They mailed him a bad dragon dildo…

That’s my fear too. I was under high stress from work, woke up from deep sleep one night with chest pain. Really felt like a heart attack, and the only thing I could think was “Thank fuck it’s finally over,” then the most peaceful calm I’ve ever experienced washed over me, and I fell back to sleep.

Now I have recurring anxiety when I think of death, because what if the Buddhists got it right? What if I find peace again when my time comes, just to be thrown back through this shit??

They pull that shit outta the dirt, man, that’s disgusting.
