Wondering why data centers are as unpopular as nuclear waste? It's not the data centers.
The problem is both more obvious and more fundamental: The daily lived experience of the AI boom sucks. www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/ai-is-maki...

AI is making everything worse
The political problem isn't the data centers — it's that AI is a turd mountain looming over daily life.

COMMENTARY: Gov. Jared Polis (D) removed a standard line from Tina Peters' clemency letter which reads: "I believe you will be successful upon your release."
If Peters is successful in helping President Trump overthrow American elections, that will be Polis' legacy.
