soon we will all have to sacrifice everything for the datacenters.
thirsty? save that tap water here's 10 tips on how to filter stagnant pools so your local AWS center can keep running!
rolling brownouts? here's 10 backup generators that only cost $50,000 or more!
i find it hilarious there is an energy crisis in the U.S. when residential use was cratering thanks to LEDs, heat pumps, and insulation so the data centers immediately built like a hundred square miles of interior space in regions where demand was dropping like a stone.
they are so universally reviled, like across all political lines, i guarantee there will be attacks against them when the rolling brownouts start next year. and then you'll see the first IOF-style armed drone swarms patrolling them the year after that. after the first groups of rednecks are picked off by unseen robots people in the U.S. will quickly and submissively accept a few hours of power a day. after all, businesses will have backup generators (so you still have to go to work!!!)
it will be like Skynet but instead of an AI superintelligence it's a single billionaire with a smart phone
