I found this piece clarifying: opposition to data centers is much more about betrayal of trust than in any engineering or economic pro/cons (a little sad for a guy curious about both, but alas) jasmi.news/p/no-data-ce...

Taking the OP’s clarification of ~75 years, I get to pick between nearly dying in a war, various factory jobs, or the US Postal Service. Sign me up for mail sorting 🫡

The weather in the Twin Cities today is perfect if you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to be a soup dumpling
Keep an eye out for this bike, MSP! (Also fuck this, hate that someone stole this bike.)

MNDOT is scoping a project on Snelling and on Montreal. You can make the world a better place bh telling them how hard it is to cross Snelling as a pedestrian, and tell them not to build a sliplane at Montreal and Snelling
The capability overhang from the models we have today (and that are coming soon) are large enough that large-scale change to work and society over the next 5+ years is now inevitable even if AI development stops. We should spend more time thinking about mitigating the bad & encouraging the good.
It is weird that there is still a substantial set of people who believe "AI is mostly hype" at this stage: Five Eyes is warning about AI, exponential revenue & token use at the AI labs, unit distance/Erdos proofs, and so on... There are many real issues with AI, not being real is not one of them.
