The anti-data center movement is like "I don't want to pay more money for a thing that will not benefit me at all and will actively make my life measurably worse in a bunch of ways" and the pro-data center movement is like "We want it to be illegal for you to not like us."

This shit is not inevitable, it could be made illegal tomorrow if our governments weren't in the pocket of Big Pervert.
AI devices that see, listen and record: Are we ready for the post-smartphone world?
This is the expected, and dumbest, outcome. Passing over Georgia (the obvious choice for an early state) to pick South Carolina is not about empowering Black voters. It’s about keeping the Old Guard of the party in charge and marginalizing the left of the party.

No science fiction could have prepared us for just how stupid the end of the world can be. "The environment was on the brink of collapse, and so, rather than deal with that, we burned what fuel we had left getting computers to scam each other for money."
