Your Friendly Reminder: Sean Lee Robinson, AKA "Geek With Social Skills" is a known scammer. He has run cons on video game, arcade game, and vintage computer communities for decades - and is still doing it-. Just look up his name.

“I've sold data centers to Brockway, Ogdenville, and North Haverbrook, and, by gum, it put them on the map! Well, sir, there's nothin' on earth like a genuine bona-fide electrified six-terrawatt data center! What'd I say?”

Hassett: "Data centers are very good for towns bc they create so many jobs & bring people in with high incomes that can buy houses & stuff like that. So if you take a sleepy town that hasn't seen much in the last 30 years & put a data center there, there are gonna be a bunch of happy residents."

At the beginning of the year Stanford economic researchers calculated that it would cost $170bn to end world poverty By the end of the year the spending forecast for AI is estimated at 2.52tn And whatever they tell you AI will not solve world poverty, but it will exacerbate it.

This is more like a natural resource than like something you could license or buy. When people talk about "ethical LLM training" they're describing something analogous to getting a chicken coop and waiting for your little feathered dinosaurs to turn into oil so you can fuel your car.
