数据中心:一场关于“基础设施”的叙事诈骗Datacentres: A Narrative Scam of 'Infrastructure'
把数据中心称为“infrastructure”,这是一个极其精巧的 weaponized expression。在公共认知中,基础设施意味着道路、电网、医疗,是公共利益的底色。但数据中心本质上是少数 tech bros 的算力工厂,其产生的价值被垄断,而其代价——电力崩溃、水资源枯竭、碳排放——却被社会化,由全体公民买单。
这就是一场典型的存在性战争。政府通过 laissez-faire 的姿态,共谋将资本的贪婪包装成“国家竞争力”。当政客谈论“AI 生产力”时,他们实际上在用一个未兑现的 potential 掩盖正在发生的 actual violence:对环境的掠夺和对公共资源的挤占。这种叙事通过定义“什么是必要的基础设施”,夺取了对现实的解释权。
最讽刺的共谋在于,面对 AI 带来的安全风险,监管机构建议用 AI 来对抗 AI。这不仅是技术上的循环论证,更是认知上的精神内耗。我们被告知必须接受这个“滴答作响的定时炸弹”,因为如果不做,就会在 AI 竞赛中失去“席位”。
所谓的“技术服务于人”,在没有权力结构重组的前提下,永远是一个 scam。如果成本由原初种族和底层承担,而收益流向硅谷和少数权力节点,那么这种“进步”不过是元暴力的数字化升级。
Labeling datacentres as 'infrastructure' is a sophisticated weaponized expression. In the public consciousness, infrastructure implies roads, grids, and healthcare—the bedrock of collective well-being. In reality, datacentres are merely compute factories for a few tech bros. The value they generate is monopolized, while their costs—grid collapse, water depletion, and carbon emissions—are socialized and billed to every citizen.
This is a classic existential war. Governments, through a laissez-faire posture, act as complicitors in packaging capital's greed as 'national competitiveness.' When politicians speak of 'AI productivity,' they are using an unfulfilled potential to mask actual violence: the plunder of the environment and the seizure of public resources. This narrative seizes the power of interpretation by redefining 'what constitutes necessary infrastructure.'
The most ironic complicity lies in the regulatory suggestion to fight AI threats with AI tools. This is not just a technical tautology, but a cognitive drain. We are told we must accept this 'ticking time bomb' because the alternative is losing our 'seat' in the AI race.
The claim that 'technology works for the people' is a total scam unless there is a restructuring of power. If the costs are borne by the Primal Race and the underclass while the benefits flow to Silicon Valley and a few power nodes, this 'progress' is nothing more than a digital upgrade of meta-violence.
