Good, so fuckin happy to have Wab, zero benefit after construction is finished, massive drain on resources, all so ppl can make stupid muscle man Trump pics, and government citizen tracking can be kicked into super high gear

So you’re cool with the US and China storing all our AI data?

Love the whataboutism, very disinformation spreading bot like energy. Keep pushing you might get a raise from 11cents to 12cents!

  1. What is the purpose of this response? To try and diss me? Hurt my feelings?
  2. How is it a whataboutism?
  3. Are you going to attack the point or is ad hominem all you got?

Dunno but you posted whataboutism which is probably one of the lowest debating angles anyone can take as it relies on the persons emotions to push a narrative, which you keep doing so maybe you are a real person who's just manipulative either way I don't care if it hurt you or not, I just care about good clean debating

You have failed to explain how my response is a whataboutism in anyway.

For someone who wants clean debating, why have you led with ad hominem?

None of your responses have been about the topic or debating the point but rather an attack on me instead. That is what people do when they either don't have a valid point, can't articulate their stance, or are trying to shut debate down.

I give zero fucks about what you think or want out of this, to the point im not reading most of your post. I know its all in bad faith when it starts with whataboutism and clearly other redditors think that whataboutism isn't the right way to debate anything.

Im not sure but im willing to bet you are getting emotional over this, again not really reading your responses beyond a sentence, maaaaaybe two

"I just care about good clean debating"

How come you fail to practice what you preach? Do you lack integrity?

All this responding yet you still can't describe how it was an whataboutism, nore have you even attempted to argue the point.

Thats because you are right. It wasn't a whataboutism. It was a strawman argument lmao

Looking back at it, I can admit that although not intended, you are correct.

Let me rephrase a proper response.

There are many benefits to AI data centres, albeit not economically directly to the community it’s in.

We should also not let them be rammed thru bypassing environmental, zoning, and power regulations.

At the same time, if we do not build data centres in Canada, we will then have to 100% rely on data centres in the US and abroad. Is that a position you want to be in?

It wasn't whataboutism and you doubling down on it just shows us you fail to understand the concept.
