Last night, the US military invaded a quiet residential neighborhood in Pasadena for a “training exercise” that went until 1AM. Mayor Victor Gordo didn’t inform residents until right before and supposedly the military didn’t tell the city until yesterday

Meta is building dozens of massive tents at campuses across the US, sticking billions of dollars of chips inside, and powering them with off-grid turbines.

The AI race has officially entered its Mad Max phase.

Over the last month, I reviewed hundreds of documents and satellite images for Cleanview's latest report on behind-the-meter data centers. Meta's data center strategy, which is very visible from space, was one of the weirder approaches I came across.

Mark Zuckerberg recently ditched the data center designs that Meta had perfected over the last decade and told his team to stick tens of thousands of chips in tents outside their data center in New Albany, Ohio. Each of these chips costs about $60,000. Zuckerberg plans to stick billions of dollars worth of them in the tents.

The strategy has helped cut the time to build compute in half. The first five buildings at Meta’s New Albany, Ohio data center took between two and three years to build. Meta started building five ~125,000 square foot tents between April and June of 2026, according to city permits. Satellite images show the structures have all been built.

To power those "rapid deployment structures", as they are officially named, Meta signed a 10-year deal with Williams to build a pair of 200 MW off-grid power plants. Those power plants began construction about a year ago and are nearly complete.

Meta is using the same strategy to build a data center in Tennessee, bringing the total count of tent data centers to three.

Strategies like this are part of the reason behind-the-meter data center capacity is growing so quickly.

In Cleanview's report, I found that there's currently about 2 GW of BTM capacity online today. By the end of the year, it will likely be 3 GW—equivalent to three nuclear power plants. By the end of 2027, it could be as high as 13 GW—more than the power demand of NYC.

I've been talking to a lot of reporters about this research. When I told one reporter about these tents and other companies powering their data centers with jet engines, he said, "It's like a scene out of the movie Mad Max."

Among all the cute and funny Ajax videos I wanted to make a more serious post about his care since I’ve had quite a few concerned or critical comments. 👇

He fell from the nest before he could survive. Many birds spend time on the ground hopping around and being fed by the parents before they learn to fly. In this case you should not interfere. This was not the case for Ajax. He was not mobile enough to evade predators and his health was poor. It was not possible to put him back up in the nest.

In most cases, if you find an immobile baby bird, the best thing you can do is take it to a wildlife rehabilitation shelter. However, I am able to provide the proper care and have good contacts with a number of experts whose advice I can follow. I also work from home when not on fieldwork so have the flexibility to offer the intensive care necessary. By staying by with me, Ajax gets constant personalised one-on-one care. It also allows him to remain in the area where he was found and where his relatives are.

I am feeding him the highest quality possible diet and monitoring his health carefully which includes regular weighing and checks for parasites. The care is not easy. It involves feeding him at least every hour throughout daylight which in practice is around 5am to 9pm. Usually feeding means manually pushing the food down his throat with my finger because he is not old enough to eat for himself. He also requires a diverse and specialised diet including live and wild-caught insects and calcium supplement.

There are many ways that incorrectly caring for a chick can be fatal. For example, if you attempt to give them water or do not give them the environment necessary to properly develop their bones and muscles.

The clips of Ajax watching videos may seem silly but they have serious purpose. By playing him videos of wild birds when he is inside, I ensure he continues to be exposed to their sight and sounds. By watching clips of adult birds foraging, he is able to learn these behaviours for himself. I also play him videos of predators with corvid alarm call so that he learns to associate them with danger. This comes in addition to the practical enrichment and training I am giving him.

He spends hours in the garden each day, free roaming (now that he can hop) but carefully supervised. There he is exposed to the calls of wild birds including his own relatives in the trees. The wild corvids have seen me with him and communicate with him vocally. They can see me feeding him and helping him teaching him insect-catching skills. Corvids are extremely social and intelligent, often compared to chimpanzees. If they saw me with Ajax as a threat or something distressing, they would be making alarm calls. They don’t.

Ajax is not caged and will not be kept in captivity. He is being very carefully rehabilitated and will have the option of flying freely as soon as he is able to and if it is safe to do so.

Magpies usually stay with their parents for several months after learning to fly so that they can be taught essential life skills like how to find food and evade predators. I am aware of this and fully prepared to give him personal tuition. It is literally my job to conduct ecological surveys and find and identify insects. It is also something I do all the time for interest anyway. I taught entomological field skills to humans for years. I can teach them to a magpie too.

If he decides that he wants to stay with me then he is very welcome to and I will care for him in whatever way he wants or needs for as long as necessary. This could be at best 10 - 20 years, though average wild lifespan is more like 3 years and only around 20% of magpie fledglings survive their first year. For those from rehabilitation centres, the survival rates are likely even lower.

Anyway, I will do the best that I can and appreciate all the concern. Yesterday, I had Ajax checked over and professionally ringed so that he will be monitored and protected for life.

An Ohio fire department is warning that AI data centers are quickly becoming a full-time job for first responders.

In Jerome Township, northwest of Columbus, emergency crews have been called to two Amazon data centers a staggering 84 times in just four years. Since the first facility opened in 2021, firefighters have responded to dozens of incidents, averaging about two calls per month.

Then came the major fire.

In April, a two-alarm blaze at one of the sites caused more than $50 million in damage and tied up emergency crews for over 24 hours.

Local officials aren’t just worried about the fires themselves. They’re concerned that precious emergency resources are being repeatedly diverted to these massive industrial complexes, all at taxpayer expense.

Data centers are sprouting up across America as tech companies scramble to build the massive infrastructure needed to power artificial intelligence. These facilities house thousands of servers that run nonstop, consuming vast amounts of electricity and generating intense heat that requires constant cooling.

While data center fires remain relatively rare, they can be exceptionally challenging to fight. The buildings are packed with electrical systems, battery backups, complex cooling infrastructure, and high-security zones that often hinder emergency access.

Ohio has emerged as one of the nation’s fastest-growing data center hubs, with more than 170 facilities already operating and many more under construction or in planning.

This growth mirrors a global explosion in hyperscale data centers, driven by the skyrocketing demand for AI computing power. Every response, AI image, or large language model ultimately relies on physical servers somewhere in the world.

While these facilities bring jobs and economic investment, many communities are feeling the strain, on power grids, water supplies, roads, and now, local emergency services.
