Wow good one.

What about the water treatment plant? Or the power station? Or the new subway line?

Why don't you go live in the woods since building anything where anyone doesn't want it built is so evil?

Maybe because you only think of the consequences of building things when it's for anything other than AI?

In many places these data centers make communities money. It's really not as black and white as you are making it. If I'm getting paid out I also am not sure why you think it's a trade nobody would make. Maybe you live in a very nice house.

I support UBI. No one should be poor in the United States. My goal would be telling someone "why don't you trade places with someone in x" in the United States should never feel like a threat. If I were to have to reside next to a data center to make this happen then so be it. Data centers are not the problem. Income inequality is. I think you have me confused with someone else.

What's your plan to solve income inequality? Don't build anything, crash the economy, and push more kids into student debt so they can take up bullshit knowledge work jobs?

If they make the communities enough money the community will be happier to let them be built. Try increasing that amount and offering it up front, maybe.
