The Data Center Problem

How much you want to bet the data center gets the water instead of the crops... 🙄

Its not just water and power. AI even states there needs to be a minimum 50mile buffer zone around the complex for health and saftey.
Spurious Omissions/RF from taxed High voltage transmission lines and LF from the Center themselves will increase negative effects on humans and larger buffer zones in those areas.
Heavy metal contamination to effluent will permanently poison ground water and wells. Millions of Gallons of Water poisoned with Lead and Mercury.

Even with Reverse Osmosis plants and H2O RECLAMATION Plants the contamination zone will be 100s of miles of permanently destroyed land and water.

AI doesnt have a scenario that is compatible with human existence.
 
What are these called? DATA CENTER. Data centers store data. Why do these people want a 10x increase in DATA storage? To store more data. That means every drive you take, every thing you buy, every search you do, every heart beat on your fitness tracker, everything.

Your 5 year old iPhone has the horsepower to process an AI search. They don't need more horse power, they need storage capacity. In government, there is a class of politicians that seem to think it is perfectly fine and desirable to store everything about you, down to the minute of your day and night. In the business world, there are people slightly smarter than politicians, that have figured out how to get politicians to pay for their grand idea. It's that simple.

The Chinese are hot on tracking every step of every citizen. Do we really want to follow their example?
 
Actually running a local LLM takes quite a lot of resources.
I'm looing at starting one, but the people I have heard of doing it use a fairly new GPU along wit a bunch or RAM and a fast CPU.
I do have a spare laptop with a good Nvidia RTX and a good chunk of RAM so I may host it there, with a mountpoint to my SAN.
 
Think the Flock camera and similar are owned by foreign corporations/ individuals and are separate from U.S. laws.
The information is taken and stored here, but accessible to foreign powers.
Why you to need to petition the " Company" 1st before you are granted a Hearing for a violation of US law/traffic law.
Someone steals yer shit and speeds through a school zone you're getting the ticket and considered guilty with no burden of proof on accuser.

Data centers are just platforms to predict your future crimes, like in Persons of Interest or Minority Report.
Lmao
 
And not a tree hugger or eco-warrior in sight... 🙄

How in the cornbread fuck did you not see this freight train coming? You open the door to 37 data centers and didn't consider the consequences?
Fuck no!
Tell the data centers to throttle back to save energy! đź‘ż

The largest AI infrastructure commitment in history just got even bigger, and it's moving faster than even its own creators expected.​

OpenAI, Oracle, and SoftBank announced five brand-new AI data center sites across the US, expanding their massive "Stargate" project. Combined with the flagship site already running in Abilene, Texas, and ongoing projects with CoreWeave, the total buildout now sits at nearly 7 gigawatts of planned capacity — backed by more than $400 billion in investment over the next three years.
The new sites include:
🔹
Lordstown, Ohio — where SoftBank has already broken ground, on track to be operational next year
🔹
Milam County, Texas — developed with SB Energy, a SoftBank Group company
🔹
Three additional undisclosed sites, together capable of scaling to multiple gigawatts of AI infrastructure
According to the companies, this puts them on track to hit their full $500 billion, 10-gigawatt commitment by the end of 2025 — ahead of the original schedule set when the project was first unveiled at the White House in January, alongside President Trump, as part of a broader push to boost American AI investment.
Meanwhile, the flagship Abilene, Texas campus is already live, running early AI training workloads on newly delivered Nvidia GB200 chips — one of the most advanced AI computing systems in the world.
To put the scale in perspective: 7 gigawatts is roughly enough electricity to power more than 5 million American homes — all dedicated to training and running the next generation of AI systems.
This is one of the largest private infrastructure buildouts in US history, unfolding in real time across small towns most Americans have never heard of — until now.

While we cannot condone this sort of thing, especially when people are inside, it does send a needed message to tone deaf council members that choose $$ over following the wishes of their constituents and what's best for the community.
All you have to do is read up on the ones already built and the impact it has on the people who live near it.

This guy cast his vote, one for each of the 13 original colonies. I wonder if he planned it that way? :unsure:

Sneaky City Council approves secret data center by calling it a "Computing Center". Public doesn't find out until construction commences on it and huge power plant to run it.
Oh, and the gave tax breaks to the company.
And after it is operational, it will only create 27 new jobs.

A $2.8 billion data center was kept secret. Now residents are furious.

SPARTANBURG — Elon Musk’s idea to send data centers into space might prompt smirks in some quarters but probably not in Spartanburg, where a mega data center slipped into town, catching residents by surprise and spawning a revolt.
