So what was the outcome of saying weird stuff or stuff you did not believe out loud? I've pondered doing this also just to see what would happen.
This is a very good question, and one I don't have a concrete answer to. I just want to know myself better than the technology I use knows me in some cases. I can see it influencing recommendations and whatnot.
The goal of all the listening is to create a profile of us, so we can be predicted as best as possible. My goal was to try and make myself as unpredictable as possible in this regard. It's a work in progress.
I’m not following you, I believe that the entire Republican Party isn’t interested in helping Americans, they are interested in wealth and racism. They help the wealthy in turn the wealthy help them. It does happen with democrats but at a much lower leave. Republicans are doing everything they can to advance that agenda by any means necessary. Lie cheat steal! Trump just does it in front of everyone then says how it Biden fault.
I agree, I don't think you are following the conversation above. It's derailing the thread topic but it was related to intentionally feeding your phone/devices/etc. "bad" intel so you confuse it a bit. The point is to manipulate your digital profile so you aren't as predictable.
Algorithms rely on patterns to keep your attention or categorize you. By breaking those patterns, you break out of filter bubbles, protect your privacy, and reclaim your digital independence.

Anyone ever heard of the Ai program RealPage? I remember reading about it years ago and thought it was worth bringing up.
There is no chance those are built and online in the next 10 years.
Nuclear is great, just not scalable for our needs.
I don’t agree that the democrats are any better. It’s the entire political system that does not have the American taxpayers best interests at heart . When it comes to corruption and enriching themselves both parties are equally to blame for where we are now.
Why can’t these data centers be built as sky scrapers instead of taking up so many acres? If they do have to be built flat, why can’t the roofs be solar panels?
Amazon and the Department of Energy are sure gonna try though out here in Washington at the Hanford Reservation and it is all driven by AI power needs. I don't know if it will happen in ten years but everything is sure changing fast.
Press release if anyone is interested in Small Modular Reactor plans at Hanford. https://www.energy-northwest.com/news-releases/amazon-energy-northwest-announce-plans-to-develop-advanced-nuclear-technology-in-washington/
Reactor fuel. https://interestingengineering.com/energy/us-resurrect-cold-war-era-nuclear-plant
"The revival of these legacy sites reflects a strategic pivot to treat nuclear fuel as a national security priority. With electricity consumption in the US expected to hit record highs in 2026, the race to provide clean, safe, baseload power has become inextricably linked to the global AI race.
Regarding the specific sites involved, the Hanford FMEF has been dormant for over 30 years and will now focus on fuel cycle research and materials."
Are these serious questions or rhetorical?
Basic answer is because the equipment required, is way too heavy for a vertical structure to support.
Let me turn it around for you...
I believe the entire democratic party is trying to take my hard earned money and give it away to illegals and lazy people while making sure that rhere is no such thing as a criminal and all of my property and possessions are free for the takng.
See how easy it is for you to sound like a blind to reality moron?
There are moderates on BOTH sides of the aisle, same as there are the loud obnoxious jack wagons you only hear about it on the news feeds you choose to follow.
China is building them underwater which is ingenious for cooling and landmass savings.
They are also coupling them with big solar farms (some floating too), wind and battery storage.
The governments and businesses that want these centers aren’t waiting a year much less ten years for offsetting power plants to come online. For reference, Musk’s xAI data center in Memphis went online in less than a year and he brought in mobile natural gas/methane generators to partially power it.
These entities are looking for cheap land, cheap electricity rates and politicians who are easily swayed by the buzz of saying Meta (or anyone other major company) is investing in our area and I did a great job or they are just too dumb to know the downstream impacts to their communities from the few hundred jobs they created
My Google (thanks data center 😬) research on the link you shared makes it appear they are targeting the 2030’s and your press release was from 2024. Those are interesting though, they must be pretty small since they only output 80MW each
You are correct, it’s the money mainly! Capitalism creates greed, I don’t know how else to put that. Special interest groups are a problem, ethics rules are lacking. We need to eliminate the electoral college and go with 1 person 1vote. Corporations can’t give money and individuals can only give say $500 or some small number, then it keeps things more far because everyone counts .
One person, one vote gets you a State, and then Nation that is King County (Seattle) in this example.
The people out in the middle rural parts of the country are then completely alienated as they will NEVER have the numbers to overcome what the massive population centers in liberal cities can and will vote for.
The Electoral College serves a distinct purpose to put value to the voters in rural locations as was intended by the Founding Fathers.
Now what should be done 1st (IMO) is to make the Electoral College based on district and not the State. If Dems win the popular vote in say WA but only carry Sea-Tac and Vancouver when the rest of the State districts are all red EVERY Electoral College vote should NOT go all blue. If your district is red (or blue) that Electoral College vote should be for that candidate.
SLC shouldn't be speaking for all of Utah, same as Seattle shouldn't be able to speak for the rest of Washington, Denver shouldn't speak for the rest of Colorado or Minneapolis/St. Paul should be speaking for all of Minnesota. One person, one vote isn't going to fix that.
So in your mind a few thousand people should equal the same as millions because they live in a rural area compared to a city. That make no sense. How does that make everyone equal. But you kind of said it yourself, it’s not about being equal it’s about how they vote, so honestly that’s part of the problem.
I am talking presidential elections, but districts have to be represented in congress but in my opinion all the districts need to have the same number of people in them, that way everyone has equal representation.
Gotta push back on the "capitalism creates greed" part. There's no thing which makes good people turn bad. There are only mediums which allow people to show you who they are.
And our system is fine. Large states rule has big problems and small states having the same power as large states has big problems, so our house/senate mix is the balance between those two. It's the KTM690 for when you need to get through some singletrack and also do 80mph on the way home. Yes people are unhappy when they want to hit Larocco's Leap and people are unhappy when they want to do a buck eighty across Nevada, but you can't have it both ways, so we just have to live with "somewhat decent at everything".
Pit Row
The refrigeration needed for the cooling of these facilities is incredibly large. If they build the data center itself vertical, then the refrigeration equipment would occupy the space that the data center would have because you wouldn’t be able to sit enough on a single roof for more than a floor or two.
That’s one of the reasons that so much power is needed. Yeah, the servers themselves chew through a lot of power but the refrigeration electrical demand is insane as well. It sounds like the more advanced servers needed for AI computing actually generate more heat so the electricity demand for cooling might actually increase.
You’d think that in colder areas that the demand for cooling would go down drastically in the winter, but it sounds like it doesn’t drop all that much.
Here’s a rooftop on a data center. Not all pack the rooftops this much but if not then the chillers wrap around the whole exterior.
Yes saying “Capitalism creates greed” is a bit over simplified. But like crime it create motive. It drives politics and it shouldn’t. Greed is a problem.
Word, a massive problem. I just always feel the need to push back on stuff like that because of where the fix for it is implied. If we say that capitalism is the problem, then we focus on getting rid of capitalism and then yayyyy the problem is gone. In reality, after a herculean effort of replacing our system....the problem would 100% remain. And it comes with the bonus of further division, because the left wants it gone and the right wants it to stay, so then the problem is clearly the other guy that won't let you fix it, and not only do you not fix it because it's impossible without their help, but now you have a huge enemy when really you should be on the same side. It's lose-lose.
How do you mean not scalable?
That would never happen, the people who create the laws are the ones taking the money, what motivation would they have to stop?
These data centers go up in 12 to 48 months depending on size and permit delays. Nuclear power plants take a decade minimum and usually decades to build and get online. This means nuclear power plants are not scalable to match the energy needs of these data centers.
Okay, I see where you’re coming from now.
Yeah, it would be difficult to match the pace of demand right now, but the demand is still going to be increasing for quite a while and fast tracking nuclear reactor power plants should definitely be part of the long term plan. If we could add another 10% of our current electrical generation, that would be huge. That would take about 12 plants the size of the Vogtle plant in Georgia. Throw in some of the smaller plants regionally, and we’d start to see a bigger impact.
Of course that still needs them to be built faster, and copying them from the current Vogtle plant, for example. I think you’d also want to make it a public entity, not privately owned, so that it can be stabilized for consumer cost instead of being operated to maximize maximum short term shareholder returns. But that’s a different topic altogether…..
Understand, but the money needs to come out of politics so then you will have politicians there for more of the right reasons!
According to Mike Johnson the only way to get people to do the job is to let them get rich while doing so.
The rich just keep on getting richer
I agree, but politicians will stop it happening.
Apparently Musk is about to be a trillionaire
Over $100 for every man, woman and child on this earth
Meanwhile billions are being spent blowing up rockets
Climate science is proven
Climate change, global warming
And ai mega factories are being built in oceans and arctic areas to cool them?
Why
Why?
