Here's what the internet will soon become because of AI: An infinite library, with infinite truths and infinite falsehoods, and a complete inability to tell those two things apart. This is straight from the 1941 Jorge Luis Borges story “The Library of Babel”. In it, he imagines an infinite library made up of books of random letters. Because it is infinite, it contains not only every book ever written, but every book that could possibly be written. It contains every possible truth as well as an infinite number of falsehoods. The secrets of the universe, of life, of everything, are hidden somewhere in that library. The only issue is: that magical book is impossible to find. And if you found it, how would you ever know you found the book of truth, and not one of the infinite books of lies that surround it?

@PIP1111111111 Struck a nerve did I? I'm guessing it's because underneath your layers of snark it really does bother you that actual human lives are being trampled on. Good luck!

It's hard to exaggerate how stupid the concerns over AI data centers using water are. It's like being against building computer chips because people in corporate tech offices might use parking spaces. The value of what's being built versus the cost of the resource concern is so out of proportion that no serious person can talk like this. The anti-data center movement is the new Epstein files. It gathers all the stupidest people from across the political spectrum.

When this guy is QT you in support, you know that, whether you’re paid off or not, you’ve fully chosen the dark side, but please - keep hyperventilating on behalf of billionaires

Data centers are targeted not because of the actual things activists complain about, but because it’s a way for people who are conspiratorial or hate capitalism to express themselves. And that’s a lot of people.

Over at Substack, @JoshEakle asks: "It's 2026, and I have yet to see an anti-almond farm protest."

@RichardHanania Almonds don't have a logo. Data centers do. Protest follows narrative, not data.

@TaylorLorenz @marketurble The profiting is happening overwhelmingly by pro-ai accounts. This is obvious, and is why people don't trust your full throated support of data centers and complete lack of nuance around the topic.

@marketurble Also I removed my RT based on ur feedback. My point still stands that far too many grifters are profiting right now on anti data center slop, I hope more people can follow the actual journalists reporting on these things. 😔

@lthlnkso A data center is ruining my county right in front of my eyes, but some basement dweller on the internet is here to tell me I'm imagining it. Cool!

No AI data center is worth losing this. And guess what? There's no choice between them! We get to have both! Data centers in no way infringe on this nature.

@TaylorLorenz You are spreading a lot of misinformation about them and dismissing a lot of legitimate, serious concerns about them. Pretty clear you have an agenda

@jaeporeon I don't think most people even know what a data center does, and they don't immediately see the tax revenue they might generate hit their own pocket. But I do think it's revealing that they weren't controversial until just this past year

@Rahll @tim_tyler @dcexaminer Nobody needs to live near a datacenter. All the datacenters right now are being build in the middle of nowhere. Do you want to live near a coal mine? No? Well nobody needs to anyways, because coal mines aren't built in residential areas you dumbfuck.

the great thing about AI is that everyone seems to think "well it gets things wrong in my area of expertise but its so good for everything else"

@BernieSanders We were never meant to be one. The framers gave us a Republic, and the Constitution guarantee Republican government. The Founding Fathers hated democracy.

@PeterTwinklage Wait until you find out what knowledge people can gain from Google and even these things called BOOKS. The Heritage Foundation also wants to regulate the shit out of this, I’m sure aligning with them on those efforts will go great!
