The data center trope is anti bad guy populism I strongly disagree with the attempts to fit people's complaints into a metanarrative. People who live near more recently constructed/repurposed data centers are complaining about 24-7 noise, pollution, and to a lesser extent the perceived impact on consumer electricity and water bills. There's a very obvious land rush coupled with blatantly inefficient land use intentions, and numerous examples of local authorities abbreviating the normal planning/approval process in the face of very large $ numbers. The concrete problems are simple, easy to grasp, and don't require abstraction. I am seemingly alone as an AI booster Oh spare us the drama, this is HN not Etsy.
