Insanity.

Oh yeah. It's got what they call data center alley, there's so many. I knew from work (data center = large electrical load).Leisher wrote: Wed Jun 03, 2026 4:29 pm Erin Brockovich is going after data centers.
I did not know Virginia was a hot bed for them.

When I saw that graph, the first thing that popped into my head was the scene from The Wedding Singer where Jon Lovitz watches Adam sing his song and says "He's losing his mind, and I'm reaping all the benefits!"
Re: Artificial Intelligence
It's been so long since I've seen that movie, but that seems like an apt pull.
BTW, as it turns out, Jon Lovitz is a dick in real life.

Anthropic says the world needs to pause AI development right now.

Re: Artificial Intelligence
Exactly. We're too divided as a species to stop, and honestly, it's not in our nature. It's the purest form of optimism to think it could happen.
The real solution is to get out ahead of it. Convene a panel NOW of the world's foremost minds, and not necessarily AI folks, in various fields to come up with "AI behavioral laws" designed to prevent AI from running amok and destroying humanity. Get the world to agree to include it in their AI's base code.
Far, far, far more of a chance for that to succeed than getting people to stop developing something they believe will get them fame, fortune, power, pussy, etc.

You know how RAM prices are skyrocketing putting thousands of SMBs at risk of closing, driving up the cost of all electronics for consumers and businesses, and even hindering technology growth?
Turns out, the three companies behind all the RAM have been working together to ensure they have the market cornered and have been forcing up prices. You can find articles all over about the lawsuit, but here's a good YouTube breaking down what's been going on and how they have been operating.
When your illegal behavior negatively affects the entire globe, including basically every other company and most human beings, the people involved should be thrown in jail forever.
