We DRASTICALLY cut back on factories, and the awful pollution they caused, back in the 1970's with the Environmental Protection Agency. We can ABSOLUTELY get rid of Data Centers, ESPECIALLY when they've been built when the people clearly said they DO NOT WANT THEM.

DON'T TELL US, "PANDORA'S BOX HAS ALREADY
   BEEN OPENED," or, "THE GENIE IS OUT OF THE

   THEM UP EVEN WHEN THE PEOPLE SAY "NO."

Your little oopsie "mistakes" had me worrying for a year of my life about my partner going to jail for up to a decade based on lies likely fed to you by the top of the federal government.

My long-standing theory (and resentment) about CGI is that its rapid adoption was specifically boosted by a deluded belief that it would accomplish what AI-boosters dream about: the elimination of illustrative animation labor for a system that can be piloted by now-deskilled workers.
