You want Windows 11/12/13 and CoPilot+ running on an ARM CPU so bad you
can taste it.  No need to deny it.

I have absolutely NO desire to have anything AI anywhere near my computer. I
just read today that AI server farms each require more electricity than
whole cities. So much for the "green revolution." Wonder why the Climate
Screechers aren't screeching up a storm about this?
 
This is not the article I saw, but it's all I could find with a quick
Internet search...

Even the Woke should like this article as it's printed the Washington Woke
Post.

In case you're not already aware, Microsoft is looking to relaunch the
Three Mile Island nuclear reactor to power their data center... but you
should definitely trust them when they tell you that they're not
gathering data on you.

I became aware of this because of all the AI server farms they're building
in northern Virginia rural areas. Apparently they think they have the right
to claim eminent domain on farmland to build the power lines across
Maryland to power these server farms. The reason this bothers me is because
part of my childhood was spent in that farmland in Maryland. Beautiful
country.

It pisses me off that they find a remote area to build these AI server farms
and then demand that the states bend over backwards to supply power to them
— which will cause the price of electricity to rise all over Maryland. And,
of course, the worthless politicians bend over backwards to give them what
they want, despite what it costs to the average Marylander.

What should be done is that these AI server farms should be built in the old
rust-belt zones of crumbling cities, like Baltimore. Where the
infrastructure is already nearby, and it wouldn't require miles and miles of
new high voltage electric lines. But I guess that's not good enough for
these entitled bastards who are building these damned AI server farms.
