Mainly because of supply chain issues (thanks, Drumpf tariffs!), but these delays give local communities more time to build their opposition. #DatacentersPollute #DatacentersWasteWater #AIKillsJobs

Because it's more expensive than polluting the Earth and destroying communities, and bottom line costs are all the oligarchy cares about. #AISlop #StopTheSlop #Slopaganda #AIFail #StopUsingGenAI #FuckGenAI #AIKillsJobs #DatacentersPollute #DatacentersWasteWater #SaveTheEarth #ClimateCrisis

this is why there’s been mass revolt and opposition to data centers being built in communities. it is genuinely a health hazard to live this close to something emitting this much sound. these need to stop being built

At a bare minimum, California (and the rest of the states) need to enact laws like this. Honestly, I think it should go much further, but it's a great start. #DatacentersPollute #DatacentersWasteWater

The real problem with data centers: they inherently create a serious pollution problem. There is no "closed-loop system" cooling those centers. They consume large amounts of water and produce toxic byproducts. Studies are compromised to hide these problems. REJECT! /P.1

Peace of mind become increasingly rare when we knowingly use the tools of the oppressor and destroy communities and the environment. And for what purpose, clicks? #AIFail #DatacentersPollute #DatacentersWasteWater #SaveTheEarth #ClimateCrisis

I wonder how far this image lowered the water table in the community where the datacenter that produced it is located. #AIIsNotArt #DatacentersPollute #DatacentersWasteWater

Renders moot whether or not to dump daylight savings time. But seriously, the #DatacenterBoom must bust, and soon. #DatacentersPollute #DatacentersWasteWater

Oligarchs are shoving AI down our throats at every turn, and people don't like it. We all have to stand up and scream "ENOUGH!"

The gap between how AI companies talk about themselves and how the general public has experienced the technology (and its side effects) has grown into a chasm. And now the results of these divisions are starting to show. trib.al/ipz6T3Z
The AI Industry Is Discovering That the Public Hates It
If there was any doubt over the brewing public backlash to this technology, the last few weeks have erased it.

It's a first step, but 18 months is not nearly enough. After they conduct a study, there will be no other choice but to ban them permanently. #AISlop #StopTheSlop #Slopaganda #StopUsingGenAI #FuckGenAI #AIIsNotArt #AIKillsJobs #DatacentersPollute #DatacentersWasteWater #SaveTheEarth #ClimateCrisis

This is just a pause for roughly 18 months, but it's a step in the right direction. Communities must be vigilante and fight these atrocious behemoths. #AISlop #StopTheSlop #Slopaganda #StopUsingGenAI #FuckGenAI #AIKillsJobs #DatacentersPollute #DatacentersWasteWater #SaveTheEarth #ClimateCrisis

By Joanna Slater

Legislators in Maine on Tuesday passed the nation’s first statewide ban on large data centers, part of a growing backlash to the energy-intensive facilities that fuel the rise of artificial intelligence.

The bill would block new data centers that draw more than 20 megawatts of power until the fall of 2027. It also calls to study their impact on the electrical grid.
