Comment on Tim Sweeney Is Still Crying About Steam AI Disclosures

Since when the fuck has AI been partisian? It sounds like he’s trying to make it partisian. In reality, everyone hates the data centers. The only thing that’s partisan-adjacent is that the Trump administration (Trump specifically) loves it, but that’s just because he’s a boomer and boomers, for some reason I do not yet understand, tend to like the shitty photo/video generative AI more than others.

People like this have two reasons to make it partisan:

It’s a way for them to stay delusionally self-victimized that "AI would be a total success if it weren’t for that group of haters."

If they succeed in making it partisan, that means they gain about 30% of the population as supporters via political team sports, versus 90% bipartisan hate right now.

The only reason Trump loves it is because it’s propping up our entire economy.

  Is paying for tons of political advertising, and republicans are using it most to create their ads too.

As aggravating as this might be to hear, there is at least one state where workers unions have been pro-datacenter under the belief that the work to build them will at least bring them some contracting/construction jobs. Some states are destitute enough to accept anything, even if it’s only a short-term bandaid for their economic troubles.
