The rich are also more educated. Lemmy hates AI, but other upper-middle-class types might just see a datacenter as a big box full of cool technology.

To plumbers and cashiers, it's more of a new-fangled abomination we don't need.

Being more educated doesn't make llms more useful. Being less educated doesn't make them less fun.

Problem with them is the magnitude of the push vs their usefulness. There was no need for that massive of scaling. It's all "we must get all the investor money before we have to raise prices to become profitable".

If there was any education behind making those slopcenters, they wouldn't make them gas powered in a desert.

No, but appreciating what a big generic building does could require education.

Yes, they're designed and built by illiterate cavemen. /s

Like, obviously you know engineers do that, and are educated and well compensated. It seems like you've drifted off to a different argument here.
