The gaping maw of the AI data centre beast is threatening to devour all energy and water on the planet. Awakened to this threat, people are organizing. This is the story of the fight against the data centres.

Why James (Probably) Won’t Sign Your Petition
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. nmtroberts1@gmail.com 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 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.
