James,
You might contact Dave Roberts who is currently leading the fight against a mega data center in Ohio. He could comment on the aspect of city/county officials breaking their oaths of office by signing NDAs and making back room deals. [SNIP – No email addresses in the comments section, please. You can contact me directly via the contact form. -JC] It’s okay to say that Lynn Bergeron (me) sent you.
Well !. Some time back you had a story titled The Digital Gulag. This story, this report is not the actual gulag building, but the spaceage evidence building and hall of records. A massive storage facility that will house and hold the evidence that will be needed to legally put you in the prison. Also to be built in the near future . At this point a private prison system is generally accepted and proliferation will soon follow as these data centers become operational. Make America Great Again. Jobs, jobs and more jobs. Just ask the county commissioners in Oklahoma about our private~public partnerships.
Oklahoma Ends Its Private Prison Era — For Good — Oklahoma Appleseed Center for Law & Justice https://share.google/0REYVaRllHbMqOFm6
Oklahoma paid the operators a lot to operate and now seems to have bought them all out. Wonder what that cost us?
Prison planet needs a world size evidence room. And we are just dumb enough to build our own hangman’s scaffolding. This is one opp that needs to be stopped at all costs.
Alaska is gearing up for a natural gas pipeline (decades long attempt), and this will supply “data farms.” Somehow these are needed for national security. I look forward to hearing from Michael Maharrey (I listen to all his moneymetals.com podcasts) as Alaska has a lot of public land which is very much (gleefully) on the target list for federal govt ($$$$).
There are many companies selling AI products and they have invested over trillion dollars WITHOUT any return.
The fact that they only cost money should be reason enough to stop the AI data centers.
It will be a waste of water, energy and other resources.
Within the programming community, the senior programmers see AI as slop generators.
AI can not make products with sufficient quality.
In the past there were “expert-systems” that helped with programming, but turned out to be slop generators as well.
They seem to work in small programs, but as a project grows, they become unmaintainable.
Many programmers and “elite” do believe that AI will become smarter,
but that is mathematically proven to be false.
(the “halting problem” states: a program can not understand itself. So it can not improve itself.)
So by mathematical law it is a waste of resources, and researchers are slowly learning the ultimate limits.
Additionally: The AI is already using its own generated data to train itself.
This means that it is polluting itself with slop. Which will lead to more slop.
The musicians and artists are the real victims of AI.
Business do not want top quality, but something cheap quickly.
There is a copyright problem though.
While AI seems to make something original, it is just copying other works (training data).
It mixes many works together using statistics and a noise generator.
Artists try to copyright-protect their work from AI.

Curl is an important tool in the internet communication.
In an attempt to collect bounties for bug reports, it is overrun with AI slop.
And none ever made a valid report.

1- there are doubts about the technology.
2- financial returns may prove elusive.
3- there are financial circularities seen during the dot com boom.
Way to go James 👏👏
There are so many who need inspiration to resistance and action.
Hope this is the start of a generation seeing this as the “good ol’ days.”
GOTTA REMOVE THE CHAINS (song)
https://old.bitchute.com/video/q9HfWwcANpxg/
Here in Australia we have more than 250 data centres and, supposedly, another 175 are “needed” by 2030 to meet AI demand.
I’m not aware of any resistance against them comparable to what is seen in this episode of ‘Solutions Watch.’
The opinions expressed in the following article by our taxpayer funded national broadcaster, ABC, are not opposing them.
Some voice the concerns about water and power usage but are still in favour to build them.
Some of the reasons voiced in favour of them are pretty naive and ridiculous from my point of view.
For example, employment is mentioned without explaining what permanent jobs are supposedly available in the running of these centres.
If the resistance by the general population against the scamdemic lockdowns and mandates is any indication, the tech companies won’t have any problems to build as many centres as they want to.
No worries, just go for it!

There are 155 data centers in Arizona presently, more being built as we speak. And way too many are in my recently rural area. I have been trying to find ANYBODY who is working on this issue, other than the Tucson group mentioned in this Solutions Watch. I am on fire to work with others towards eliminating the AI Slop machine that is being carelessly and brazenly rolled out. But I am no good as a lone wolf, need a tribe.
I can tell you from a lot of recent experience, that AI is getting sloppier and sloppier with its well-formatted bullshit. It used to be pretty good at explaining how to correct simple computer problems (errors, etc.). But now, 9 out of 10 responses are utter crap. I told Lumo AI (Proton product) the model of appliance I have and asked how to check a fuse. Should be easy, right? It had me pulling a microwave off the wall, removing tons of screws and then taking off the back, to no avail. Turns out that the fuse was right in the front of the unit, no screws even needed. I hired someone to come fix the thing.
The last computer issue I had in Linux, its ‘solution’ was such slop that I ended up rebuilding the operating system from scratch to remedy its ‘remedy.’
AI is getting worse and worse. And you know what? Now, it doesn’t even apologize when it gives nonsense made-up horseshit answers! It used to apologize profusely. Now it just says “I am here to help.” “I am here to help.” “I am here to help.” (Help make me crazy is about it!)
