• I always forget Erin Brockovich is a real person and not just a character played by Julia Roberts

    • If they make a sequel movie based on her current activities, who will they cast to play Julia Roberts in the in-universe version of the film based on the first movie?

        Julia Roberts played fake Julia Roberts in one of the Oceans movies, so she’s qualified.

    The site explicitly mentions “AI data centers”, but how do you differentiate AI data centers from… non-AI data centers I guess?

    I understand the anti-AI sentiment and environmental issues, etc. but I also think a lot of non-technical people don’t realise that literally everything they do online uses a data center.

      You can have servers at home or in the office, no need for datacenters for everything.

        The post is about data centers though.

        No serious business is hosting an internet accessible serve in their office.

      It also says the goal isn’t to track every data center out of the 4000 operating in the US, just the ones the public is concerned about, yet there are over 8000 user submissions shown.
      This erodes my confidence in the data, as there appear to be no checks or filters.

        There’s some dots on the map in places where I know for sure that there’s no data center. I think people have submitted addresses of some tech company headquarters for example.
