One thing I remind myself.... #AI relies on data centers. Data centers run on Electricity..

No power = no AI..

Just sayin.

The diesel tanks on the turbines don't fill themselves.

If they are powered from the public grid, one guy and a backhoe, can shut them down pretty quickly.

Also Data Centers generate a ton of heat That's what uses all that water. Cooling.

Turn off the water & the whole megastructure shuts down. Hard.

".... assuming you get a ballot..."

That's the part right there.

It is so outlandish, so unbelievable, that I think most people - certainly the average voter - GOP folks - don't even believe it's a 'thing'...

I like this idea, but.... one must consider that the US represents only about 7% or 8% of Facebook/Meta global user-base..

So in the end, that sort of limits the impacts of any US sanctions on #ZarkMuckerbergs campus rape-app..

Sadly.

I have spent 40+ years working "Big Tech".

Be clear.

Leadership - Never - wants to hear why their 'big idea' is flawed.

Never.

Even though all the crap from HR promotes 'teamwork',, and 'Transparency', and 'managing up', etc., blah, blah...

Remember HR does NOT exist to support employees. The role of HR in a corporation is to minimize/mitigate legal exposure to lawsuits.

That's it.

Not trying to be cynical - just sharing my experience, as an employee & also as a manager.

@Benhm3

The HR surveys 'say' they want to hear from you - so they can leverage your ideas & input to build a better 'experience'..

They do not. Not really..

Lower-level HR folks probably even believe it. They drank a LOT of kool-aid in school and afterwards to get this 'great job'.

But Director level and C-suites do NOT want to hear your complaints, ideas, or input.

They are just looking to cash out.

I say this for the benefit of any younger folks who are thinking things 'have changed'.

Well I guess #SoundCloud is dead to me.

Just tried to log-in to my existing account and they are demanding/requiring my gender and birthdate.

Thats too bad. I sorta liked soundcloud - but that is pure nonsense and I am not ever doing any of that...

Yeah, I know....'old man yelling at clouds'... but that is complete and utter bullshit that I will never cooperate with... so as I wander away muttering to myself ..

Fuck.
You.
