I mean, I get what she’s trying to say, but I also wouldn’t want a sewage treatment plant right in my backyard and those are definitely good and necessary for the healthy and safety of everyone and living near one doesn’t automatically make you “backwards and poor”. In fact, I’d say at least with a minimal amount of distance, the further you live from a sewage treatment facility, the more backwards and poor you and at some point you’re literally in a 3rd world country.
Replace “data center” with “sewage treatment facility” in the argument
Trump: you are backwards and poor if you don’t want a sewage treatment facility in your neighborhood
AOC: let’s put one in Mar-a-Lago and see how “backward and poor” that is.
Yes, it’s backwards and poor to have one in your actual backyard. But it’s also backwards and poor to refuse to live anywhere near one.
See how that works?
Yall keep equating these to just big buildings that only run LLMs and image generators for gifs. You do realize that the cloud service that’s running Reddit is dependent on a data center, right?
