In between the stories of horrific human rights abuses and trade war insanity I remember that they have also destroyed all our research and data infrastructure and effectively ended any environmental, health, or labor regulation.

Gov. Abbott and his allies have long touted cheap electricity, no corporate income taxes, low state regulation, and weak local governments to attract businesses to TX.
The governor’s 6-month ban on new data centers conveniently ends after the election but before the Legislature can pass new laws.

As GOP postures against data centers, here’s what their moneyman Elon Musk just demanded at G20 on data centers:
“It is pretty straightforward, you have to have an environment that is relatively free of regulation. New things must be default legal instead of default illegal.”

The Lone Star state is just the place for the data center revolution because of its friendliness to business and lax regulation. And while industry leaders promise economic gains, some Texans fear the pressure data centers could add to the state’s already strained resources like water and energy.

Wonder whether the vaping regulation Trumped the hiding of positive vaccine data, or that initial denial of the Moderna MRNA flu shot application, which data shows is more effective than conventional flu vaccines.

I think this really depends on what kind of “anti-AI” you mean here because it is a rich text. Advocating strict regulation (or any regulation tbh), Glonzoing a data center, and “ban it all” are all very different things!
