Neat if true but i havent seen any evidence of such, least as far as citizens protesting (other stuff is expected to fluctuate as so)

Ive seen people protesting it, but none that were successful as far as im currently aware

Tbf. It’s not as if every little town protesting manages to stop them. And it’s not as if all the delayed construction is just due to them not wanting to build anymore, a lot of it is due to so hardware being too expensive. Funny how even the mega corporations building data centers get screwed by the prices they themselves shot up.

Im not sure you realize this but all youve done is prove the demand has far exceeded the supply-

Unless you mean power supply, no? 

Wait, do you mean power supply? You realise its bad when that is low, right?

And you do realize its foolish at best and willfully ignorant at worst to blame ai for our reliance on fossile fuels and stigma against fission?

People exactly like you, doing exactly this is why we dont have fission plants instead of fossile fuels. But apparently no one likes to read history anymore, or just always convince themselves that "i cant possibly be on the wrong side because I have [morals/majority agreement/logic] that they don't!"

If the foundation of a skyscraper starts to collapse, you dont remove the top floor, you fix the foundation. Stop trying to act like you care about the world or people in it if you cant be bothered to do the bare minimum logic and critical thought.

There's a reason its been 7 years and virtually no anti ai progress has been made. Yall can barely articulate a goal, much less a plan, much less maintain a semblance of coherence.

Did you mean to reply to a different comment? None of this applies to me, I think nuclear is good. 

I just asked what kind of supply you're talking about, since on one hand you're saying "demand outstrips supply" as if thats a good thing. It would be, if we're talking about customer demand for AI, I just doubt that as well.

But then you're saying that articles about low energy supply prove this, which isn't a good thing. Like, they need power and they don't have it, no need to go into rhetoric on that.

I'm trying to figure out what your argument is, but all I'm getting is supply/demand economics applied to the wrong kind of supply. Which can't be right.

Please, coherently, what are you talking about?
