Let’s talk about AI Water and Power Usage as a Shared Resource – Informed Consent of the Governed?
Let’s talk about AI Water and Power Usage as a Shared Resource – Informed Consent of the Governed?
A great comparison of Prevailing Narrative v. Actual Events:
This massive and sudden thrust to build data processing facilities throughout the USA at great cost in money and resources? The narrative it seems is to win the AI race against China and the rest of the globe. Is that a national priority? What is the cost exactly in terms of regional water usage and power supply? How will be address other national concerns such as new gasoline refineries?
Are Americans actually represented in commitment to using our shared natural resources?
Shared resources.... Responsible use? Informed consent by citizens? https://t.co/EaXy25emrD

Excellent questions raised about forever chemicals released into the atmosphere, not to mention jobs lost, and the costs imposed on the public while the tech companies reap the rewards. Just how much water and electric are we using? How much does it affect reservoirs and aquifers? What is the exhaust and by product consequences?
This was the best take of the entire thing IMHO. pic.twitter.com/wJnzVKejqt

And the original short covering the Oregon Town Hall. Why are they FOREVER Chemicals? Because they can’t be boiled away.
"Forever" Toxins needs to be spotlighted in the narrative. https://t.co/5l3MyLnMpV

Takeaways from our Audience
AI is Imminent Death if We Don’t Fight Back
These AI data centers only drive home the fact that generative AI is nothing more than a coverup of the death of humanity. We’ve all seen the Sci-Fi movies: Terminator, The Matrix, Wall-E, and more. They are no longer fiction, it is actively coming to our lives unless we resist NOW. If we don’t stop relying on generative AI, not only will our environment and natural resources disappear, leaving only enough for the ultra-rich; it will also steal our humanity bit by bit. “Chat, help me make a grocery list.” “Claude, write me an essay.” “Grok, tell me the weather even though I’m looking out a window.” These menial tasks being made “easier” by AI has only made us complacent. Do your part and stand up to these corporations, expand your mind by taking the time to be human and communicating with someone besides a chat bot.
Our freedom from AI has to be taken back now, or else it will be us in the Matrix pods, taking to our chat bots for eternity.

Loading...Here’s a New Data Center in GA Where Big Tech Meta is the Villain
When a data center moves in next door to your dream retirement home, your dream could suffer. I wonder what the lead up to the building of that was in Newton County, GA?

Loading...Forever isn’t always a good thing…
If the water output from data centers is polluted with “Forever Chemicals” i.e., heavy metal toxins that don’t rapidly disappear from the ground water, then what happens to drinking supply? What good are lakes and rivers for when boil water alerts and self-sufficiency require these sources for human consumption?

Loading...Opportunity for Full Public Exposure
The appropriate Congressional Committee should publish a report with gov’t and private sector concerns/findings and spell it out on a 6th grade level. Then locals apply their specific concerns. There needs to be levels of representation here, and this is a great place to start.
