AI stans dont actually affect company policy as much as they like to think they do.

The US government already favors corruption as an approach so I am not sure theres anything to be done here.

>congrats, you have regulatory captured the entire industry and the U.S. government.

Incredibly cheap date.

>everybody hates you because they can see money leaving their community to inflate the stock portfolio of some asshole on a yacht.

Having issues parsing this. If you hate AI just dont pay for it?

Datacenters are cool and good. Electricity production is cool and good.

"OH NO BUT WHAT IF THE DATACENTER HAS CUSTOMERS I DONT LIKE" - I couldnt care less.
