I had a boomer normie ask me how to use AI to develop his new “business” website telling me that he didn’t want to hire a developer if the developer would just use AI anyway.

This guy doesn’t know what a router is, and was asking me for help trying to understand what the AI was telling him, and it was the most basic shit.

When the normies are trying to invest in AI, they’re the last to invest and know to throw money at it. That was a big signal to me that the bubble is about to pop. Money is running out and the boomers are trying to get in on it.

Full disclosure, I did not read that. But I did see the headline.

Now that I have read that, I feel like it is a cry for help.

Eh, they’re an evil company and all that, but the force majeure seems like a non-issue:

Instead, the notice would allow the company to delay payments should the facility miss its 2028 target to come online.

It just means if the development misses the contractual deadline, they don’t have to pay until it comes on line. Seems reasonable to be honest, why should you be held to your end of the contract if the other party doesn’t meet theirs?

The real problem here is a combination of: the environmental and ecological impacts of the data center, the impacts on the local communities, the ethics (or lackthereof) of AI and lack of regulatory oversight, and the surveillance state that they’re using it to build.

Focusing your critique on the force majeure just kind of misses the point
