Alex Volkov(@altryne):The misinformation we saw about water usage, the coordinated attacks by chinese-linked sources that OpenAI caught, the very strong polarized political apparatus that thrives on scaring the bajeesus out of the population to get votes, all of this is causing the ridiculous datacenter backlash. Let's hope that the recent news of a literal cancer vaccine (being created of course, inside a datacenter) + the recent news of innovative tax techniques from datacenters will somehow be able to change this message, otherwise, we're in a bad risk of losing this race to China
