re: I just created this image using AI which requires a Data Center
Posted by funnystuff on 9/20/26 at 10:19 pm to FLTech
The fact that people have only just begun complaining about data centers in the last couple of years is pretty strong evidence that it’s not the data centers that they are actually upset about; it’s the AI.
The data center is just the only part of the AI production process that a local municipality has any control over. So it’s the fight that average people actually have the capacity to wage.

No, inflation is a rise in aggregate prices.
Increasing the supply of currency is the biggest driver of inflation, but it is not inflation itself.

Yes it is
Inflation is when the price of everything goes up, including factors of production. Labor is a factor of production.
With that said, well under half of the population has a wage that is keeping up with inflation right now. If inflation accelerates, that portion will be even lower

Guns don’t have their own objectives, nor do they have the ability to independently pursue those objectives without human intervention.
That is a horrible analogy. A far better one would be receiving a transmission from another solar system that read, “people of earth, we are coming to your planet… prepare”.
The fact that we apparently have no interest in preparing is mind blowing

Check out The Last Invention podcast… it’s probably the quickest way for a newcomer to best understand the state of affairs (even though it’s still about 10 hours in total)

The Chinese have no more interest in a digital god than we do. They would leap for joy if we were honest and sincere about a nuclear-disarmament framework for dealing with superintelligence.

I’m sorry you’ve gone through that. Toxic femininity is very much a thing, and the fact that it is on the rise is unquestionably a harm on the world.
You are also right to take consolation in the fact that you are not alone.
But your companionship does not need to be one shared with those who are vengeful, spiteful and jaded. If you will it, it can instead be one with Christ. And I promise you, his love is far more satisfying and fulfilling than any lone wolf narrative you’ve built up in your head.

Those are also very poor proxies of human companionship. They are bandaids patching the deeper wound… they are not evidence of one who is thriving alone

God doesn’t have all control… he gave us free will. Many of use use that free will to terrible ends
Making yourself a better person is a terrific North Star; it’s something I wish more men would be intentional about. I applaud you for focusing on this goal.
I would just encourage you to consider that becoming a better person requires combating our inherent selfishness. Not embracing it.

In one post you state you are fine being a lone wolf… in the next, you say you are saving $75,000 to purchase a synthetic companion.
Do you not see the contradiction in those two statements?

I’m very strongly encourage you to pray about that plan.
When you do, consider this line of your post as the center of your examination:
If you truly listen, I believe you will hear that those two things are axiomatically opposite. And that you cannot thrive if you live only for the self.

There will never be any such thing as an AI companion or an AI girlfriend… yes, there will certainly be companies who will try to convince you that what they call a girlfriend or a companion is an adequate substitute to the real thing. But they will be lying.
You will never have a more satisfying relationship with something without a soul than you could have with someone who has one.

Yes, women are more social than men… no, that doesn’t mean men want to be left alone.
Loneliness is as damaging for a person’s health as smoking 15 cigarettes a day, and is worse for you than extreme obesity and lack of physical movement. It raises the risk of premature death by 26 percent.
Simply put, God did not make us to be alone. Any lies that modernity has told you which leads you to believe that you were made to be alone should be seriously examined. We have the entire history of humanity to dispute them.
