The NYT had an article today about data centers in Georgia and the havoc and damage power companies are inflicting on neighborhoods by running giant metal power poles/lines through their yards. They are monstrosities. Maintenance will bring constant herbicide application and disruption.

It's routinely horrifying to discover the ostensibly educated people who have never had thoughts like 'the world is crowded and complicated' or 'being discriminated against makes you poor and being poor is a self-replicating hard problem'. Like, literally never had a soul say it to them.

"why would a civil rights group be angry that Elon Musk is running unregulated data center turbines that are pumping toxic pollution into minority Memphis neighborhoods with an already disproportionate level of pollution illness?? I am very smart and operating in good faith!"

Whenever I read something like that, this is the first thing I think of.

If he's mad that the NAACP is suing to enforce the Clean Air Act he should probably take that up with Congress for putting in a section called "CITIZEN SUITS"

I would say these people need to read some critical theory but Karp did his PhD in it and it didn't help at all

If they want data centers so badly let them put them in Bel Air or Jupiter.

Andreeson is somewhat of a has been but he has money. Funny how the DOJ always relies on the "national security" argument - especially when they don't have other arguments.

“Of all organizations “. Not so thinly veiled racism. Fuck this egghead motherfucker. A vile piece of excrement.

this is slowly getting close to the famous 'sell their houses to who?? aquaman!?' level of unawareness.

Ever seen Davis, WV? Part of the Canaan Valley with breathtaking waterfalls. The Director of the WV DATA ECONOMY Ofc (total wanker title)is holding a "spotlight" event --"Data Centers: Opportunity and Risk." They always eat the poor for breakfast.

Why isn't Andreesen and his ilk setting these datacenters up next to their homes? If they're so frickin' concerned about "national security" they'll make the necessary personal sacrifices. Right? Doesn't M*🐀 have a huge spread in the Texas hill country?
