Neither? Like, I'm not even disagreeing about the energy usage of data centers and stuff. I'm mainly saying that I find this particular story hard to believe. I can dislike data centers without believing that the electricity company more than doubled someone's electricity rate 🤷🏿♂️
Have you considered shutting the fuck up instead of calling people liars in a way that defends data centers? Cause it sounds like you didn’t and just came to call someone a liar in a way that defends data centers Imma go ahead and pick for you: enabler
Bahahaha. You don’t like being called out for the most basic of things like getting your math right? Sounds to me like I’m in your head. For free. Not much to see though.
Like for a guy so weirdly smug and accusing someone of being brainless, you'd think you would do some basic fact checking before absolving AI datacenters of any blame for nearby residents' power bills increasing. But no, just another arrogant and dismissive man.
Go back and read the posts again. Seems reading comprehension has fallen way short of “normal”.
What math did you even do to conclude that the woman's rate going up had nothing to do with an AI datacenter built near her home? > Simply adding a datacenter won’t drive costs for individuals unless they don’t have usage-based billing www.nytimes.com/2025/08/14/b... ^Read this article and learn.
I should probably clarify that I don't necessarily think this person didn't see their bill increase. I just don't think it's due to their electricity costs ($/kwhr) more than doubling and there's probably more to the story than this.
This! We’re absolutely missing part of the story or data.
You're not. You've been given the info, you guys are just boxing the wind.
