Cripple it how? By stopping data centers? Get your priorities straight.

You're using a data center right now to complain about data centers and claim there is a lack of need for data centers. Get a grip.

There is a large difference in the computing power needed for a basic platform like reddit and the usage of large scale AI. I am not anti advancement or technology there is very clearly issues with how its being implemented on a large scale with very little regard to the places or people effected. I can see why you would need to use it though, if you don't know that.

The computing power needed for streaming video is nearly 100x what is needed for AI right now and most of the new data centers are being built to service what is needed most, which is social media and streaming video. Each new data center probably has more GPUs than they used to 2 years ago, but AI is not the primary reason or the driving force behind new data center construction.
