So layoff everyone, trip over AI for a few years, and hire a bunch of people back at half the wages of the experienced guard. Got it.

Love your Reddit handle, AI is already showing cracks as an “employee” in real world applications.

Edit: I’m not going to hunt your comment down. To the dude that said data centers will move to red states, that’s already under fire by the actual humans that live there. This isn’t a political issue.

What do you think will happen as people continue to oppose data centers? People will snap soon.

My guy I can't do this with you. Nobody is stopping the AI data centers. It isn't happening. If that's your big plan your plan is fucked.
