however they are fighting like hell to force townships in Michigan to approve the data centers here, so they will build them everywhere
when water is scarce, i.e., not available to the people in one area, they will be forced to move, "voluntarily" into the 15 minute cities they've cleared the way for and will continue to do that.
it's like the Great Dust bowl era, if people remember what happened with that.
it's more "efficient" to corral all the people to manage the herd allowed to live to serve their neo-technocratic masters
i had a feeling they were going to be looking into michigan. dying infrastructure that wants its detroit glory days back and will trade anything to get it. this is going to be a nightmare.
one more thing i have learned through the years, that explains when the seemingly inexplainable is happening.
Rule #1:
“When everything “they” (whoever “they” are) do seems to be completely insane, contrary to common sense and common decency, and it is 100% of the time consistently insane and wrong, and it seems nobody can understand why they’re doing it, then “they” are doing it intentionally.
And, their reason is utterly contrary to the people’s understanding of what is right, true, caring, good, or just.
We can end our oppression now. They divide us to conquer us. The 1% know that there is no other way to enslave the 99%. We fight each other and do their work for them! Ask yourself what would be their greatest nightmare? ❤️ UNITY ❤️ Once we are unified we will be UNSTOPPABLE! The few will no longer be able to abuse the many!! Let us bring in our new era of love, light and truth together!!
The United States Government (Corporation) needs to be removed from top to bottom, the Supreme Court, Executive Branch, Legislative Branch and Judicial Branch, they are 100% corrupt. If We The People do not remove this Tyrannical Government nothing will change the direction
Our entire federal govt and agencies need to be razed and the states can create some if they think they need an EPA..toss out everyone. It is no longer fit for purpose
Hey wolf, thanks for this wonderful investigative journalism. Contacted EVERY rep in my state and filled them in forwarding them your article. Alone we are small but as a pack we are powerful. :) Also - thrilled to hear you are finally getting those teeth dealt with. You & Lily are on my daily prayer list. Rock on!
What you wrote provoked a big awe. AI really seems to wish for the end of civilisation. The Great Lakes may end up like the Colorado River, so exploited for golf clubs and agriculture in California it has turned into a rivulet.
As for the expropriations, turning people out means more homeless, desperate people, ready to anything. Does AI want a post-apocalyptic world with the many killing for a bottle of water while the rich sip mojitos in their climatised pools?
The best I can do is to download this article to quietly read, the problems looming ahead and the possible solutions to try and turn this catastrophe around.
Here where I live, Google is building the "Ciudad de Google", once several acres of farmland whose owners rang me when they needed me for their animals. The older generations have sold the land because the younger ones don't want this kind of work. Fertile soils buried under buildings and lawn.
you are partially wrong. search port Washington, wi data center. and pleasant prairie, wi data center. 2 data centers being built now on land taken from private owners. The second sort of planned and the first one taken by eminent domain. I know a guy who lives there and is being forced out. he will likely not find a property that replaces his.
You said are states had laws to deter the take over of private land. That does not appear how it's working out here since there are data centers being built right now on what was private property
'They' are not human. There are many aliens here plus loads of NPCs. They want humans gone.
I had all my teeth out at once in Tijuana when I couldn't afford dental care any longer. It was a long adjustment but I have learned to live with it. I am healthier now.
There is a very old but much-loved Australian movie called The Castle and it touches on this issue of "compulsory acquisition" as we call it in Australia. It's tired now but absolutely glorious. Worth the watch and it might take your mind off some of the pain for maybe an hour and a half. Great post.
Incredible work. These centers are also very vulnerable and open to risks such as weather events, fire, breakdown, maintenance costs, never mind reliance on 24/7 power supply.
My LOCAL AI DEVELOPMENT RIG THAT I BUILT WITH MY OWN TWO HANDS and a 62 SQUARE MILE DATA CENTER THAT RUNS ON 9 NUCLEAR POWER PLANTS ARE NOT THE SAME FREAKING THING.
I am not writing ‘against AI’ - I am writing against CITY SIZED DATA CENTERS THAT USE MORE POWER THAN EVERY RESIDENTIAL HOME IN THE USA COMBINED.
I understand that but you need to understand it doesn't matter to anyone viewing your content how you go about making your AI content. All they will see is a large channel using AI to get ahead, and because they want to get ahead too, they will will follow your lead. Only they won't do it with their own custom built rig, they will do it with Suno, Chat GPT, and whatever other big AI platform is most convenient. And they will use those same big data centers to do it. So while you may be against the data centers, by using AI you are functionally acting as a commercial for them. This is why Christ says you live by the sword, you die by the sword. You might say you weild your sword fairly, that you built it yourself and that you don't harm anyone with it, but everyone watching you will only say "Damn I got to get me a sword too." And they will not be so responsible with their weapons.
The medium is the message. And the message you are spreading by using AI is "Get ahead at any cost."
I rarely spend this much time writing a reply but this guy has gotten so far under-my-skin that he might as well be part of my body now so I invested some time in actually cogent prose for a change.
You're sitting on a COMPUTER complaining that my computer is better than yours. Why is it okay for YOU to use a computer but not okay for ME to use a computer?
I generate images locally on hardware I own. No data center. No cloud service. No Midjourney subscription. The AI runs on MY machine in MY room using MY electricity. When you typed that comment, you used more of someone else's data center than I did creating those images.
Your argument is that my LOCAL COMPUTER sitting in my room is somehow the same thing as Kevin O'Leary's 62 SQUARE MILE DATA CENTER consuming 9 gigawatts of power and increasing Utah's greenhouse gas emissions by 50%. That's not just wrong, it's aggressively stupid.
A desktop computer running local AI is not a data center. A desktop computer is not 40,000 acres of server farms. A desktop computer is not billionaire-controlled infrastructure designed to centralize AI power. They are literally opposite things. One is decentralized ownership. One is corporate monopoly. You're comparing a guy with a rifle to the entire US military and saying they're the same.
I lay out every single image in Photoshop first. The AI finalizes what I've already designed because I don't have 6 hours per image to waste when I'm already spending 40 hours a week researching and another 20 hours writing.
You're just mad that I have 67,000 subscribers and a bestseller badge and you don't, so you've convinced yourself the only way I got here was by "cheating" with AI.
I spent THREE YEARS working 70-90 hour weeks making ZERO DOLLARS to build this. Where were you? What were you building?
You want to blame my tools instead of looking at why you failed as a writer. That's on you, not me.
excellent and accurate

the people are furious and the meetings very heated (no fan needed)
Microsoft has not been fully transparent about the effects of their proposed data centers so approvals have been blocked temporarily.
I've seen in my lifetime however the maneuver that gets what they want:
they back new members for the zoning or township boards and in a year or so, a revote is done.
big money backing whoever will vote their way. they never give up.

I am glad I am reading more articles on substack about solutions rather than venting. I hope people are tired of being cowards.

This legal fight is tailor-made for groups like Institute for Justice.
There may also be legal angles from common law / statute law about water usage.

Highly valuable information and a spotlight! Excellent work Wolf! 🐺

Unfortunately they are giving Clarence hantavirus right now
you are partially wrong. search port Washington, wi data center. and pleasant prairie, wi data center. 2 data centers being built now on land taken from private owners. The second sort of planned and the first one taken by eminent domain. I know a guy who lives there and is being forced out. he will likely not find a property that replaces his.
how am i ‘partially wrong’? this article is literally about eminent domain being used by tech bros to seize property illegally.
You said are states had laws to deter the take over of private land. That does not appear how it's working out here since there are data centers being built right now on what was private property
it’s because people are not filing the paperwork in the court. law does not just automatically invoke itself.
'They' are not human. There are many aliens here plus loads of NPCs. They want humans gone.

Good article but also pretty hypocritical of you to use AI graphics, don't you think?
Local AI that I own and trained myself is not the same as a 62 square mile data center.
Excuses excuses.. You can't complain about the problem and participate in it at the same time.
Apparently apples are now oranges?
My LOCAL AI DEVELOPMENT RIG THAT I BUILT WITH MY OWN TWO HANDS and a 62 SQUARE MILE DATA CENTER THAT RUNS ON 9 NUCLEAR POWER PLANTS ARE NOT THE SAME FREAKING THING.

Hey my son uses catnip and clove oil when he has really bad teething pain lol it might help? The brand is Earthly
