Transcript by OP

[fscom]

you balked when the Shinra corporation schemed to suck the planet of Mako energy to power their cities for generations

yet you don't balk at AI centres sucking up resources of our planet

you would've been one of the ones complaining about AVALANCHE's terrorist activities

[(Anonymous)]

I don't know who "you" is, and I don't know the fandom.

I just find it really fucking sad that OP (1) thinks anyone is okay with data centers and (2) actually thinks we live in a world where we have a say in the matter like the 1% doesn't own literally all the capital and can do fuckever they want to.

OP you're a peasant. You're a serf. Every American reading this is a serf. You have no voice. Your politicians are bought.

OP, you have zero solutions so just keep crying over the inevitable.

[(Anonymous)]

You’re using the internet, obviously you’re fine with data centers. You’ve been utilizing them for years. They are not and never have been “sucking up”resources. Most are closer to carbon neutral than the average American and the owners do major offset work. We will see them become carbon neutral in the next few years. All the bogeyman stories about water pollution were bullshit (no pun intended) and the NIMBY folks crying about their power grids are actually feeling the effects of outdated and degraded infrastructure, to which their closest data centers aren’t connected.

[(Anonymous)]

No sources

How sad

[(Anonymous)]

I'm up in the air personally on this issue. AI has tremendous potential for good and bad. Will AI navigation systems reduce accidents? Sure...eventually, when they suck less. Will AI solutions help researchers cure cancer? Maybe. Will AI also kill tons of jobs? Definitely. Will investing in AI make enrich some people? Also definitely, and maybe me?

[(Anonymous)]

Not OP, but there are a surprising amount of people that are okay with data centers. On the good news, we do actually have a say. Twice now a proposed sale of land and a building that were going to be data centers has been halted because of loud public protests in my area. You absolutely do have a voice, and saying otherwise just gives the ones in power more power.

[(Anonymous)]

ok doomer

[(Anonymous)]

Umm...

If you actually talked to the average FF7 fan, I'm willing to wager you'd find the majority of them oppose AI data centers.

[feotakahari]

Does the average FFVII fan use Google? Because opposition to data centers doesn’t mean much in that case.

[(Anonymous)]

Other search engines exist. And even if they use Google, searching for a term is not the same as using generative AI to create slop.

[feotakahari]

Yes, I’m against real-life terrorists. I’m also against real-life kings, and I play loads of video games with those.

Do you think this secret is meant for a specific person?

[(Anonymous)]

Like do you think the "you" is a specific mutual or person OP knows and is frustrated with?

Re: Do you think this secret is meant for a specific person?

[(Anonymous)]

That's the feeling I got. Everybody responding like they got personally targeted is showing they could be that person, which is funny to me.

Re: Do you think this secret is meant for a specific person?

[(Anonymous)]

Nobody is "responding like they got personally targeted." Otherwise, they wouldn't be asking for clarification.

Re: Do you think this secret is meant for a specific person?

[(Anonymous)]

Taking the worst interpretation of a secret seems to be about 90% of FS comments these days

Re: Do you think this secret is meant for a specific person?

[(Anonymous)]

I thought this secret was OP venting. Like the "you" was probably somebody they know. But pro-AI people are so fragile that they throw a tantrum over any negative opinion.

[(Anonymous)]

we live in a society

[(Anonymous)]

I see the AI users got triggered with this one.

I think OP was talking general "you", btw.

[(Anonymous)]

Man, I never got far in FF7 but I know the spoilers from osmosis. It's sad how an old game's plot feels less like a wacky JRPG plot.

[(Anonymous)]

Data centers are significantly less harmful to the environment than animal agriculture, really wondering when I'll start seeing like 1% as much hate for that as I do for AI.

[(Anonymous)]

I mean, you can oppose both...? Golf courses use more water and I absolutely am against those. It's all bad.

[(Anonymous)]

Oh don’t be coming in here with facts, you know no one wants that!

Joking aside, this thread is really interesting to me because I thought FS would be more likely to attract people who are aware data centers aren’t just for generative AI and that not all AI is generative AI. I also thought this would be a crowd that knew that modern agriculture practices are destroying our planet faster than everything else combined.

[(Anonymous)]

Are we back to the "if you hate waffles you must love pancakes" thing again? You can dislike two things at once...

[(Anonymous)]

I just still love how in Advent Children, the solution for "we need an energy source to replace Mako" was "we, the former environmental terrorist group, are now gearing up to be an oil company".
