@vicfroh Is the sprinkler guy a billionaire?

[crazyeddie@mastodon.social]

@yacc143 @vicfroh No. He just votes for them because they let him waste as much water as he wants and don't give him shit for it. They just bill him more and more because they're better at it.

@vicfroh
They are both wrong, but certainly the Data Centre for AI is nearly a million times more wrong.

People should stop using it. Don't they realise they look ignorant and immoral when they write ChatGPT/Google/Grok etc says…

Either shut up, if you don't know, or expertly use a real search engine and only quote reliable sources.

@vicfroh Both should be shamed.

[somevegancheeseisok@mastodon.social]

@vicfroh I should have gotten a loan to build a data center, then bought a massive chunk of land and donated it someplace like a nature preserve. Then gone "ooops!" To the bank and declared bankruptcy and disolved my llc.

@vicfroh I stopped giving a fuck about water restrictions when I learned that coin-operated car washes were allowed to stay open during a drought.

My cat would look pretty badass as a medieval knight, though...
She’s a girl-cat, so we’d have to use Jeanne d'Arc for reference.

Hmm, i might be coming around on AI...

(No, not really! Geez.)

@meanidea @vicfroh don t forget swimming pools

[beggarmidas@mastodon.social]

@vicfroh I don't see the point in getting worked up over something that represents a minor fraction of what an average gold course uses. If you're just looking for things to flip your shit over, I could suggest a few tangents that'd be far more productive.

@vicfroh The machines don't have any emotions. Who will win, Data or Lore?

[madcodger@calckey.world]

@vicfroh@mastodon.social Don't forget to skip that plastic straw!

[theowrites@ack.nerdfight.online]

@vicfroh every time I'm cleaning out an empty peanut butter container, I think about Taylor Swift's and Mark Zuckerberg's personal jets.

[passwordsarehard4@mastodon.social]

@SomeVeganCheeseIsOk @vicfroh because the bank wouldn’t want the “optics”? Who is that we think both has shame and controls a bank?

[droinor@mastodon.social]

@vicfroh

That's funny. Our watering day is Tuesday (although I haven't used the sprinkler system much lately).

[kitkat_blue@mastodon.social]

@vicfroh

"weird" doesn't cover it. More like an *unhinged* era.

[starduster75@mastodon.social]

@vicfroh Agreed. "Shaming" culture is weird.

[indivisiblebremen@norden.social]

@vicfroh Not only that, but your town will be paying for all the electricity used by the Data center and you will not be able to afford your own energy costs. Life before AI was better, even if AI makes many things easier.

@vicfroh

Dahlias before data, I say. I didn't stop watering.
