The executive accused the media of spreading “misinformation and outright lies,” arguing that “in the age of social media and 24/7 news, myths take hold faster than ever before.”

Dude, you are literally trying to build the lying pipe, that makes the lying more conversational, and this is your argument. You are holding 40 bloody knives and yelling that THEY are sending a dude with a knife if we don’t act right now… You are in the hot dog suit.

These people should be elected to the “Sun council for exceptional beings”. Very prestigious… Very wow… It’s where we shoot you into the sun.

Have any of these AI CEOs, politicians or tech bros that try to rally behind a nationalistic “gotta win the AI race against China” ever explained what is actually consequential about this race in their view for anyone but themselves? Like other than your personal company’s outlook, your stock portfolio or your political influence/military usage over what is, best case scenario (being generous), a valuable and useful advanced tool for some types of work… what difference does it make to the average internet user if their AI chat bots or agents are developed in or run on data centers in the US or China?

Or more realistically, if they have the largest market share in the world, because there’s no lose state that means that the US AI companies can’t still exist… unless the AI companies keep pissing people off enough for the public to actually just shut down every data center.

It seems pretty clear that the only real motivation is an unimpeded return on their massive investments. China having market share in AI applications does not, inherently, threaten anyone’s safety any more than if they have a minority share in the market.

This gentleman can eat a dick.

The tech industry has fully lost its plot.

It never had one, those companies are complicit in genocide, war crimes, news manipulation and part of imperialism since two decades, so destroying the earth is like a side hustle.

I mean wikileaks documents in 2012 showed that google were intentionally involved in the proxy war of Syria, this was lead by western governments co operated with islamist terrorist to start a civil war.

Julian assange wrote an article in 2014 warning everyone about google.

Amazon wants communities to stop »defying« its AI data centers, which is a fascinating way to describe democracy when democracy becomes inconvenient. Apparently locals should provide the land, water, power and infrastructure, then politely shut up while one of the world’s richest corporations decides what »progress« looks like.

“Just like the national highway system, our country’s economy, national security, and everyday lives stand to benefit immensely,” he wrote.

Right out of the gate, the national highway system is owned by the public, not fucking corporations you knob.

In our county Amazon is being allowed to build a massive data center right next to our reservoir, take over maintaining a dam on the creek that comes out of the reservoir, and discharge 98 degree water into the creek.

What else needs to be said other than, yeah, these criminals have lost the plot.

The executive accused the media of spreading “misinformation and outright lies,” arguing that “in the age of social media and 24/7 news, myths take hold faster than ever before.”

Misinformation and outright lies? Isn’t that “executives” playbook?

I don’t believe anything what “corps” are trying to tell.

Remember the tale of the kid crying wolf? That’s on them.
