Face plant is proposing to use our natural gas to power another
expensive piece of shit to make the Zucker richer still.

This shit belongs OFF PLANET, not here competing with the Living
for resources.

Do you mean if they used solar and wind instead to power their
international AI data center surveillance grid you'd be OK with
it?

No. The sun and wind are what powers our biosphere, so their
"on-planet" footprint should be seriously limited. Off-planet (say
at a lagrange point) they can be placed to not interfere with
Earth's solar compliment. And out there even nukes aren't gonna
interfere with the Tuna catch.

Ummmm ... Goog "speed of light".

The Up/Down speed rules out Lagrange points. It's
why sat internet sucks, and this would be much worse.

So, until we invent "sub-space radio" ....

Also, frankly, a big expensive data center in orbit
is a big expensive TARGET in orbit. Russian and China,
and likely N.K. and India, can swat satellites.

Good.

...and wither those damnable FLOC cameras down here...

Great arguments can ALWAYS be made for
more and more and more surveillance.

And that's the big problem, the path to
Big Brother.

Arguments against a surveillance state are
always more broad and subjective. BB can
easily find some or another specific case
to quote - and assert that it makes for the
general rule.
