I’d be really hesitant with Benn’s videos here. I think Andy Masley has a pretty solid piece describing how they are likely incorrect and possibly even deceptive. There’s enough reasons to hate data center expansions and AI that I don’t think it’s particularly helpful to promote ideas like infrasound majorly affecting our health, as I’d think it dilutes some otherwise important arguments with things that are factually dubious.
I have to agree, sadly. I’m a huge fan of Benn Jordan’s work but I read the Masley post last time this topic came up and even looked at the original sources that Benn cites. There really isn’t any credible research out there to show that infrasound has negative health effects. Fuck data centers in general, but yeah, this argument lacks high quality data to support it.
No offense but that blog is a massive wall of text that is equal to asking someone to read a whole scientific paper (which is too much to ask for in the current context of discussion).
I came as far as dissecting the video about the DCs. It’s not much, maybe 1/10 of the total length.
It seems okayish written but I can’t add much else opinion to it as I havent read much further :/
I am sorry.
You better watch this video by Benn Jordan about exactly this issue: https://youtu.be/_bP80DEAbuo
He measured the reported issue.
Here is a timestamp witg the datacenrer noise isolated: https://youtu.be/_bP80DEAbuo?t=540
