Yo Washington! Events are popping up for the 10/4 data center moratorium day of action, but... We need more people to step up and host! If you need support or have questions about hosting, we're holding office hours to help. Learn more or create an event: actionnetwork.org/event_campai...

MORATORIUM NOW: WA Statewide Day of Action to Stop Data Centers

We're coming together across Washington state on October 4 to make sure our leaders receive the message: we demand a moratorium and real regulation of data centers and AI that puts people first.

“An astonishing theft of unprecedented proportions” and the “largest theft of labor in human history” is what a Microsoft executive privately said about GenAi as shown in newly unsealed court filings. And these court filings get worse. These execs knew all along the immense theft they committed.

‘Doom Loop’: OpenAI and Microsoft Admits LLMs Are Destroying the Web and Built on Theft

"Millions of people around the world will soon consider large models ‘hoovering up’ all their work to be an astonishing theft of unprecedented proportions."

"Syltebo said they used two types of paint on the street — Sherwin-Williams Forte and Sherwin-Williams Pro-Park. Both are acrylic. Neither advertises itself as temporary." lololol Whoopsies it's a pedestrian street now 💃

sooooo.... if someone paints colorful circles on a street using some secret method to make them impossible to remove, the street has to become a pedestrian street? That's what I'm hearing here. Does anyone knows the method used and wants to spill details...? www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news...

When life gives you lemons, at least it doesn't ask how thirsty you are. 🍋 Tell the Seattle City Council to ban unfair surveillance pricing on groceries. Email council@seattle.gov or send a letter using this link: tinyurl.com/2zwsx9mx

Meta "announced a $1 billion 'Future Is For Everyone' fund to pour money into the communities where Meta has data centers. The company is planning up to $145 billion in capital spending this year, largely to build out AI infrastructure." I see. $1 for communities, $145 to destroy them.

Inside Big Tech’s Frantic Race to Quell the Growing Backlash to AI

Tech companies are holding listening sessions, offering guaranteed jobs and writing big checks to win public support for the data centers they need.

Sooo good. “This is where the decisions are made,” said Christina. “We are living in a place where we have influence, & it’s our responsibility to show up here & to fight in solidarity with all those places where people are fighting data centers on the ground every single day.” With rogue agents!

Energetic protest at the Bellevue building expected to be the second biggest OpenAI office if the expansion goes through. “No chat, no Palantir, your super PAC’s not welcome here.” You can say that again!

NEW: “They have given us two presentations in the last three years at the request of our police department who wanted to implement them,” Stephen Tyler Holman, the mayor of Norman, said. “They haven’t been back since I’ve been mayor.” @mjgault.bsky.social spoke to him about why he rejected Flock.

The Mayor Who Said 'No' When Flock Came to Town

“I guess all crime could be eliminated if you put cameras everywhere, surveillance everywhere, and had drones patrolling the skies [...] but what life are we living then?”
