When the reality is there is probably hundreds of full time jobs created directly from the formation of said data center

you pay taxes => government subsides natural gas => electricity => AI data center

though with Trump it could be tariffs, still the energy is not Nuclear energy, which means it comes with a higher price, Nuclear energy is expensive because of regulatory barriers, so there is no BI or AI or intelligence that advocates for building nuclear power plants

in my city we used to have big pharma/metal/glass factories they were all destroyed and on their ground ~10 new data centers were build. They argued back then that energy was too costly but the new data center use even more energy given they are advertised as mega buildings. Its retarded and brought net negative jobs.

They create less than 20 jobs per data center.

im not anti-ai, im pro-Nuclear power. ive posted it here but got 0 replies. 0 because youre bunch of lefties or $1 whore advocates for bullshit.

every project has to be justified, you cannot just build 100 airports a year (or something like that), it will be a waste and money laundering.

in my post i listed power station projects for datacenters, the biggest one is 7GW burning natural gas subsidized by the government of USA. that is a camouflaged welfare.

No AI-tard ever advocates for Nuclear power, because AI-tards are lefties, those who brainwashed by Nuke apocalypse movies and media, while it being practically almost free energy source.

You seem to know a lot about reddit. This allocation to group identity is retarded. I'm anti generative AI and I supported Trump in 2024 and admire Margaret Thatcher. I see human intelligence and the pursuit of knowledge and creativity as a moral good, and generative AI in particular seeks to replace that. I'm not against specialized uses of AI such as self-driving cars.

why should MAGA advocate for Nuclear energy? MAGA is about politics. Nuclear energy should be advocated by those who say have "intelligence", but they dont have it. not artificial, not biological, like you, pol/tard

it should be advocated by AI'tards the first hand, its their duty to propose such projects to admin.

>we're going to drive up your electric and water bills
this is a falsehood. maybe try electing politicians that actually create legislature in your interest? in my jurisdiction it is illegal for utility companies to subsidize any expansions or increased usage for datacenters via residential customers.
>automate a bunch of jobs away
this is an idiotic take, who cares if the jobs are automated away? ever since the dawn of humanity we've been automating jobs. it's a natural cycle.

in the long-term it mostly creates a dozen jobs for remote admins from Bombay

Who cares if it's a datacenter or a self storage or a car wash or an auto parts store? It's all stimulating the economy and it can be repurposed as needed. It's their land, their money, their property, their investments. they're free to do what they want. this is america.

now we are dealing with progressive push towards AI this AI that. build 100 airports a year, accelerate bla bla bla. i actually worked with those APIs, gemini and google's cache was first promoted by dudes like me, while you were eating own snots (because i dont even know what other stuff techlets can do).

- Cutting short the Iran war in June 2025 and ordering Israel to cease hostilities.
- Forcing Israel to agree to a peace plan instead of defeating Hamas, with Gaza sympathizers such as Qatar.
- In the current Iran war, refusing to bomb civilian infrastructure, and going after Israel for blowing up an oil storage facility in Tehran. Also repeatedly attempting to make a peace deal with Iran, to the dismay of the Israelis, Saudis, and UAE.

i dont see MAGA obsessed with Israel or its prime minister, the opposite, some losers like Cucker Retardson and other RINO/rats are obsessed with it. but it is good - now everybody see who they are.

what has paleskinian/goatfucker opinion has to do with it? you are losers too, you and your retarded ideas. Iran never stopped the war against USA, it was 40+ something years and about 1000 service members killed, so Trump simply crushed those cockroaches whom US democrat delivered literally cash on airplane. i dont remember any goatfucker voiced about obama sucking Ayatollah penises.

so MAGA performs well, now it should be informed about Nuclear power, which goatfuckers may have too, but only water based, so they cannot enrich uranium. though they couldnt anyway, those came from commie lands. so behave goatfucker, move back to yer homeland from EUs Mandela street and start working for middle east prosperity

There are better things we could be spending money on to make jobs.
Like manufacturing.
Data centers create relatively few jobs for the amount of money they cost to build and amount they generate for the economy.
