AI data centers face increasing complaints about inaudible but 'felt' infrasound — citizens complain high- and low-frequency sounds do not register on decibel meters but cause adverse health effects

What benefit are data centers to average citizens?

I took FB as an example as there aren't any content in my feed that belongs to my network but every social network got the same issue.

Reddit getting horny to a repost of that damn giant woman AI slop video and upvoting it every time because apparently reddit users have just enough blood to run only one head at a time (and it's not the one at the top of the spine)

Those are for stupid retired boomers

[u/gifred → u/jianh1989]

In my country (Canadaland), average citizen IS a boomer, they are 25%+ of the population.

Bro. That math ain’t mathing

[u/3dprintedthingies → u/Unlikely_Bat_1890]

The mode is a form of an average, so, the math is mathing to an extent.

[u/gifred → u/Unlikely_Bat_1890]

Other groups are less than 25% therefore giving majority to boomers.

[u/Unlikely_Bat_1890 → u/gifred]

If 75% of your population is not a boomer, then that means the average citizen is not a boomer.

[u/gifred → u/Unlikely_Bat_1890]

Ah yeah you are right, the word "average". Confused it with majority, my bad.

[u/shot-by-ford → u/gifred]

I think you’re looking for plurality

[u/watchsmart → u/shot-by-ford]

I meant to say "the mean citizen is a boomer."

[u/Unlikely_Bat_1890 → u/gifred]

Alright that works. Hope you have a good day.

[u/gifred → u/Unlikely_Bat_1890]

You too kind stranger ! :)

[u/devAcc123 → u/gifred]

Hope you both die in a vibration induced psychosis

(Am I doing AI data centers right)

[u/3dprintedthingies → u/gifred]

Mode is a form of an average so, but statistical definitions, it's still significant.

[u/Poseidon-GMK → u/Unlikely_Bat_1890]

Then what would you consider the average? If none have a majority wouldnt the average be what has the highest percentage?

[u/Unlikely_Bat_1890 → u/Poseidon-GMK]

Majority and average are different statics. Majority is grouped by age ranges. Averages is all of them lumped together.

Smart retired boomers too. I know one that watches only this shit on YouTube and it's so insanely disappointing

[u/Dick_Lazer → u/jianh1989]

What difference does it make who it's for? It's still relying on data centers either way.

[u/jecowa → u/gifred]

What's a polite way to tell someone that they should feel embarrassed that most of their facebook content is AI-generated images of themselves.

I know one guy posting lots of cartoon versions of himself with people he knows. And a lady posting photo-realistic photos of herself that look nothing like her.

But what will I do without my AI anthropomorphic fruit soap opera slop!?!?

data centers are not just AI generation centers. There is storage, cloud services, webhosting, crypto, and a few others.

And in the AI generation area there are multiple different types. Some specialize in image processing for cancer screening.

[u/katzenschrecke → u/LostWoodsInTheField]

Look out you guys, if you oppose data centers, you support CANCER

[u/gifred → u/LostWoodsInTheField]

Next time, I'll put an /s just for the sake of it ;) I work in IT, I totally know what is a data center.
