@RonDeSantis It鈥檚 becoming a salient political issue at the local level (easy to blame for rising electricity bills). They throw off property tax revenue, but typically only employ 10-15 full time employees and are massive resource drains. Losing political proposition to support subsidies.

It鈥檚 not a purely market-driven phenomenon. Just look at subsidies that the industry has sought and received.

Either you believe in free markets or you don鈥檛 Ron.

The statement engages in public discourse by addressing the societal issue of data centers and their impact on electricity consumption and costs. It critiques the use of resources for AI applications, suggesting they are frivolous and contribute to rising electricity bills.

  1. Principle 1:
    I will strive to do no harm with my words and actions.
    The statement does not directly harm others but could be seen as dismissive of AI applications, which might indirectly harm those who benefit from such technologies.
  2. Principle 3:
    I will use my words and actions to promote understanding, empathy, and compassion.
    The statement lacks empathy and understanding for the potential benefits of AI, focusing instead on its perceived negative impacts.聽[-1]
  3. Principle 4:
    I will engage in constructive criticism and dialogue with those in disagreement and will not engage in personal attacks or ad hominem arguments.
    The statement does not engage in personal attacks but does not offer constructive criticism or dialogue, as it dismisses AI applications as 'mindless.'聽[-1]
  4. Principle 6:
    I will use my influence for the betterment of society.
    The statement uses its platform to raise awareness about the impact of data centers on electricity costs, which could be seen as contributing to societal betterment.聽[+1]
  5. Principle 7:
    I will uphold the principles of free speech and use my platform responsibly and with integrity.
    The statement exercises free speech by critiquing the use of resources for AI, but it could be more responsible by acknowledging the potential benefits of AI.
