AI companies will conspire to shift the cost of electricity on consumers
Poast new message in this thread
Date: November 3rd, 2025 1:13 PM Author: Federal pale plaza I don’t mean that prices will increase with increased demand, but rather they will scheme with the power companies to make it so consumers subsidize their electricity costs through rate hikes while they pay lower rates under the guise of a bulk discount (https://xoxohth.com/thread.php?thread_id=5792986&forum_id=2#49397906) |

Date: November 3rd, 2025 1:41 PM Author: the White jensen huang these kind of arguments don't hold up very well, because AI proponents just point out that the benefits of AI to society outweigh these kind of small externalized costs. you can make this same form of argument for every technology and industry. our brains don't do this for already established technologies and industries because we implicitly understand them as a "cost of doing business" with those industries/technologies that benefit society as a whole
the only good argument against AI is also the most effective one: that the actual effects of AI on society will be negative, rather than positive. that it is qualitatively different from all other technologies, in that it displaces humans themselves, rather than just human labor
anti-AI polemicists really need to hammer this point home at the exclusion of all other complaints about AI, which really only serve as red herrings that de-legitimize AI complaints in the eyes of the public |

Date: August 25th, 2026 2:22 PM Author: the White jensen huang I was completely vindicated on this point btw. Cross-partisan anti data center sentiment only finally took off when the general population started recognizing that the effects of AI will be negative (https://xoxohth.com/thread.php?thread_id=5792986&forum_id=2#50092017) |

Date: August 25th, 2026 2:45 PM Author: Concupiscible Church It’s wildly underappreciated how much benefit and potential for long term savings could come out of this though. I want the 2028 potus winner to support AI companies who take the approach that utilities are another inefficient government monopoly they should look to disrupt and exploit. They would quickly get to 100xing our solar build out and undercutting the Chinese panel companies plus they’d have micronuclear plants going from groundbreaking to fully operational inside of 12 months. This plus AI robotics could severely damage the Chinese economy, which the U.S. desperately needs to balance things out after Trump’s retarded war with Iran. And it would have the added benefit of destroying the businesses and careers of millions of boomers who have built their lives around the assumption that the quasi-governmental powers of utilities will always shape the economy and energy policy. Everyone from the c suite of Exxon to environmental attorneys would get pwn3d by this. (https://xoxohth.com/thread.php?thread_id=5792986&forum_id=2#50092130) |

Date: August 25th, 2026 2:46 PM Author: shivering center You trust our black and brown population of ever increasing illiterates to maintain micronuclear powerplants? We are all going to die if that shit ever takes off. (https://xoxohth.com/thread.php?thread_id=5792986&forum_id=2#50092139) |

Date: August 25th, 2026 2:54 PM Author: Concupiscible Church Micronuclear is operationally far safer than the median chemical plant in the U.S. and we will eventually have enough software and robotics automation that any dependency on actual flesh and blood workers will be minimized. The better objection is that we haven’t ever really solved spent fuel/waste storage, and any expansion or new mass adoption of nuclear requires that we do. I’ve always said we need to get treaties with desolate shithole countries to bury it there. A giant nuclear waste pit in the middle of the Sahara desert seems like a reasonable solution for the next 100 years of human progress at a minimum.

Date: August 25th, 2026 2:58 PM Author: Copper Laughsome School Jap lol at libs being these massive AI fanboys until a situation presents itself where we actually build something in this country instead of outsourcing to China. we have plenty of oil here plus plenty in our Venezuela and Canada colonies. let libs turn Death Valley into a massive solar farm if it makes them happy (unlikely).
libs literally just don't like this country and want it to fail |

Date: August 25th, 2026 4:23 PM Author: Useless infuriating son of senegal corn cake part of the reason we outsource shit to other countries is that we don't want it here shitting up our land. trust me, you do not want a bunch of gigantic ugly af data centers plopped everywhere causing you to go deaf. we also don't want to deplete our strategic oil reserves and destroy our and some of the world's most pristine land in the process when we can easily get it elsewhere. this has been our (obvious) policy for decades
maybe you are one of the 2010's influx of ... more rural ... poasters or something and I should be nicer about this... |

If you are like 125 IQ + and know how to get AI to enslave other humans with tasks you can basically be a new Aquarian Age class of Digital Landed Gentry just paying fealty to your regional or provincial Jewish overlord
Or you end up in a future USA favela |
