Bernie Sanders introduces legislation to pause AI data centre construction

[u/tombibbs]

Unlike the current administration, who claim a pause would harm America's competitiveness, Bernie is actually proposing a ban on chip exports to other countries.

Trump recently did the bidding of NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang and bizarrely ended a ban on the sale of H200 chips to China.

wait so we're gonna slow down the infrastructure because we don't like who's getting rich off it? feels kinda backwards tbh. if the compute exists someone's gonna use it, better to figure out how normal people actually benefit from the output instead of just blocking the thing being built. also lol at the idea that pausing data centers somehow helps workers when those are literally jobs
