No we hate data centers for sucking up a disproportionate amount of water and electricity which ends up hurting the community. They create a finite amount of jobs and are just a parasite on local community resources. They serve no benefit.

[Mark Cuban @mcuban]

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.

[Mehdi Hasan @mehdirhasan]

This is an official Republican Party account attacking the Muslim mayor of New York merely for saying the word “inshAllah” (God willing). It’s difficult to overstate just how extremely and dangerously Islamophobic the GOP has proudly become. Be nice if top Dems called it out!

[Mac @GoodPoliticGuy]

These people literally believe they own your votes. They want a static political operation that insulates the establishment from any pressure to actually represent their constituents. No questions allowed. Loyalty to incumbents. Shut up and accept nothing.

[shredded Denim @denimneverdies]

Democrats complaining to their donors about their voters

[Brian Tashman @briantashman]

Still zero, ZERO self-reflection by party leaders

A self-funding incumbent lost by 33 points

A caucus chair lost to a candidate who was virtually unknown to the political world until a few weeks ago

Instead they attack the voters

The only reason I go on Instagram at all anymore is because every so often you find a reel that was worth the scrolling

[Zachary D. Carter @zachdcarter]

The response from Letitia James, Hakeem Jeffries, Jamie Harrison etc has essentially been to claim their candidates were entitled to victory and that it was underhanded (and maybe racist) to primary them. Not exactly a mystery why that wing of the party is struggling with voters.

[Susan Abel @susylicious2023]

Why is zlatan So funny.

[Secular Talk ([email protected]) @KyleKulinski]

This take will age as poorly as his Jalen Brunson hate. Nobody asked you unc go slap fight with grandma Skip Bayless and swim in a pool of your $90 million net worth.

Jennifer Welch: “What happened in New York last night are the citizens standing up against corporations, against fascism, against MAGA, against corporate Democrats, against establishment Democrats, and this is hopefully going to sweep the entire country. Not wanting to fund a country that intentionally targets children is not radical in the least. It is radical, homicidal, and genocidal to kill kids and then to call the people who oppose that antisemitic assholes. This is the biggest bunch of gaslighting fuckery on the planet”

[Melanie D'Arrigo @DarrigoMelanie]

When anti-choice, anti-LGBTQ, pro-Trump Dems run, it’s “build a bigger tent,” and “vote Blue no matter who.”

When the energy, volunteers and enthusiasm to revive a Dem party that has failed to meet the moment are to the left of the establishment, lobbyists, high-priced consultants and big conservative and corporate donors, it’s “leave the party.”

Maybe pay attention to the voters on this one.

This is why getting a left wing president is so overwhelmingly important. Nothing in the world can expand your appeal within a party as much as the leader of it being from your faction.

[Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald]

In the case of the Colorado small bakery that refused to sell same-sex wedding cakes, the core conservative defense was that small businesses shouldn't be forced to provide services that violate their core beliefs.

Why doesn't that principle apply to a coffee shop that doesn't want to serve a Congressman who supports US financing and arming of Israeli aggression?
