It’s worth mentioning in my opinion though, because if someone were to say “we should ban chemicals” it’d be worthwhile to point out what that actually means.
I don’t actually think the broadness of the category is intentionally abused, it’s just that it’s an incredibly common thing to remove anything from the AI category that’s explicable.
I feel slightly more hanlons razor about it since there’s people in my city talking about and petitioning on the popular notion of banning all data centers from the state, and how it would be awful if s data center came here. I know what they mean, but it’s not what they’re trying to get the law to do, and our city already has six data centers I know of off the top of my head. The language drift is fine, but when it starts to conflate with policy it’s another issue.
Considering data centers tend to harm the local communities, yeah, I can’t blame them for wanting data centers out of their community. Make sure they don’t break the law to poison the air of local communities like Elon Musk’s data center did. Fix the other electricity loopholes. Make sure they don’t destroy local water tables. Tax them appropriately. Don’t let them lie about employment opportunities… And maybe then we can talk about whether they should be built.
I take your point. :)
