  These memes always make me feel awkward considering I work at a data center

  But also I’m not the one guzzling all the water and power, I’m just a guy working here to get paid

    It’s very hard to live in the system without somehow taking part. I work in marketing adjacent industries. My job is fully bullshit. But I love my team, I love problem solving, and I love working with research data. So I’m definitely part of the problem, but where I live there’s not much else my skills work for. And as the sole income earner, renting, I’m insecure enough financially that I don’t really have a choice. Almost like the system was designed that way…

    You don’t need to feel bad for having a job that keep you alive.

    But whatever you do feel bad, just work slower.

    A Datacenter is what enables Lemmy to exist, so don’t feel bad. I guarantee most instances are hosted on VPS or Cloud providers which run in…. Datacenter’s. Not everyone can afford a fat pipe with a public IP at home.

    The problem isn’t the data center, but rather that the data center is being wasted on running AI. AI is a uniquely wasteful application, like crypto mining. If the data center does something actually useful, then it might provide utility greater than its expenses and externalities.

  If they externalize costs to the community, and property damage is “violence”, then these are WMDs. I’d make sure your affairs are in order while working at one.
