What a stupid thing to use as your conclusion.
"... If you don’t kiss the asses of the people that go to work every day, and are just trying to pay their bills, you will fall far far short of the capacity you need to make your business work."
It’s time for everyone to realize that the fight against data centers has nothing to do with data centers.
They have become a proxy for the hate towards AI and the concentration and accumulation of wealth it’s creating.
Until those running the big LLMs understand this and start a community tour, not to explain the benefits of AI, it’s too late for that, but to help towns and cities that may be impacted by job losses (and I’m a believer their will be a net gains in a few years), this battle is only going to get more intense and let me tell you now , no matter how much money you pay to buy politicians and races, you will lose.
One thing I have learned is being hated is not good for business.
How can they help ? They will tell you. You will need to do what they ask. Billions of dollars is a lot of money across towns and city programs. Across the major LLMs, it’s a cost of doing business.
At the same time, I would go to LA and NYC and ask the arts and creative unions what kind of programs would help and protect their artists. DO NOT GO TO THE MUSIC OR FILM COMPANIES. that will make it worse.
Don’t try to pay famous people to endorse what you are doing. That’s dumb.
Talk to artists and ask them what you can do to provide financial and creative support. Every creative I know is TERRIFIED about what AI will do to their profession. You must meet them face to face and basically do what they say.
The big LLMs have lost the PR battle. Why ? Because they all suck at putting people first. They have an SV attitude that makes them all think they are John Galt saving the
world
Given the number of data centers and power that is needed, today and going forward , If you don’t kiss the asses of the people that go to work every day, and are just trying to pay their bills, you will fall far far short of the capacity you need to make your business work.
This week, Republicans are putting a bill on the floor that CUTS veterans benefits—just as our servicemembers come home from Trump's deadly Iran War. Here's what's in it 👇

@FreddyLA7 Geauga County is very close to your route and there are Amish sprinkled all through there around Middlefield. It's the 4th largest Amish area in the US.
As a DC9 union painter with 30+ years in coatings, I’m looking at the failure not a conspiracy theory.
When a coating is lifting off in large sheets like this, that points to an adhesion failure: improper surface preparation, contamination left behind, the wrong coating system, poor recoat timing, or water introduced before the system fully cured.
A quality two-part epoxy system can perform well but the product is only as good as the prep and application. The substrate has to be properly profiled/cleaned, the specified primer or first coat applied correctly, recoat windows followed, and the full system allowed to cure before being put back into service.
That is not “vandals.” That is a coating failure that deserves a real independent inspection and an explanation of exactly what system was specified and how it was applied.

Police handcuff & detain Black 16 year old—for walking home with hands in his pockets.
"He was acting like someone who commits crimes," said officer.
"When people grab their crotch area it's fair to assume—especially in this neighborhood—they could have a gun."
Jeremiah said it was a chilly day so when he was walking on the sidewalk he put his hands in his pockets.
Officer could give no further explanation to his mother why he put her son in handcuffs—other than he "looked suspicious."
Police Chief Shannon Bagley issued a statement defending the officer's actions —but refused to provide the name officer involved.
Incident occurred in the Washington Heights neighborhood of Battle Creek, Michigan.
@berniemoreno You should take a look at the head of your own party if you want to see a rat, Bernie. Dr Fauci has served this country well and saved a lot of lives. The Trump regime on the other hand ....
@berniemoreno Only an idiot would look at the war Trump started and the MOU that allows Iran to control Hormuz going forward and think "no more endless wars". Trump was bored with Iran. He and Rubio have already looking at Cuba.
