Also find it curious that refineries, pipelines, power plants and other projects like that seem to require like 10 year epa studies and permits and these things can seem like they can break dirt in a year no problem. Makes you realize the other projects are made to jump thru a bunch of hoops for no reason.
Yeah there's definitely a lot of sneaky shit going on with these things.

With 50000 civil law suits against NV Energy. The lawyers/Attorney will add up if they would suing NV Energy individually. And a class action law suit with all of them together. I can't see a judge allowing this to happen to the residents.
There seems to be a shift occurring. I could very well see a judge allowing this to happen to the residents. Times are changing way to fast

Could be that the impact of a building with some computers in it is a little less than something like refineries? I know people are really buying into the datacenter bs right now, but people need to use some sense also. Datacenters arent going to use up all the farmland, they arent going to destroy the climate...

The author of that doesn’t understand the closed hydrologic cycle we have on Earth…the water doesn’t disappear, it comes back as precipitation.

Sentiment has certainly changed in the last 6 months. There’s a lot of fluff out there but it still can do incredible things and our world will be markedly different because of it. The question is what will the cost be in terms of buildings resource use etc. Cheyenne wy will soon be one massive data center I think.

Wyoming is a perfect target with wide open spaces and not enough people to fight it. Sad.

Ai is getting scary real, with some of these videos looking so real. I heard on the radio that there was an ai that had already been caught working outside its programmed perimeters.

If you havent been living under a rock, youve probably see the latest psy-op...

Heres a bit of info about this guy, for those interested.

A 27-year-old Anthropic researcher named Jacob Coxon just quit after only a few months and his brand-new X account instantly hit 160 million views warning that AI will “kill us all.” That is not how organic posts work. The Wall Street Journal had his exclusive ready ~18 minutes before he tweeted. The first accounts to boost him were AI-regulation groups funded by the same donor network (Jaan Tallinn / Survival and Flourishing Fund) that also invested in Anthropic. Coxon himself took a 2022 “long-term future” scholarship from Dustin Moskovitz’s Good Ventures—another Anthropic-linked doomer funder. Bernie Sanders immediately used it to push a superintelligence ban that was already written. Anthropic is heading toward a massive IPO and benefits if Congress slows its rivals in the name of “safety.” He may sincerely believe the doom talk. The launch still looks like a coordinated op to manufacture panic and lock in regulation.
