    It makes sense for a debate, but most interactions here are just plain conversations.

      You’re saying the same thing I’m saying - that these discussion fora don’t have well-substantiated content. Makes it easy for emotional arguments and groupthink to go off in whatever direction and exclude any contradictory viewpoints.

        Yeah, were observing the same thing. The only difference is that you seem to be saying that it’s wrong for people to hold casual conversations here.

          Well, I did say it would be nice if people made reasoned comments instead of just repeating whatever makes them popular.

          But ultimately the question this thread is about is “What’s behind the growing backlash towards AI data centers?” And I’m answering it. I think the backlash is a moral panic and it’s magnified by the nature of fora like this one.
