Premium: The AI Bubble Is A Time Bomb The Words of Ed Zitron, a PR person and writer.

Premium: The AI Bubble is a time bomb, burdening hyperscalers with billions of new depreciation a quarter that will soon eat away profits, VCs with dead equity in fallen AI startups, and Oracle with hundreds of billions of unpayable leases.

The people willing to destroy our town with an AI War research center are the same people willing to extrajudicially shoot protestors or lay siege to one of our neighbors for 30+ hours as he suffers a mental health crisis. If we want to beat this data center, we must love one another enough to be against state, imperialist ,and genocidal violence of all kinds, and find any way to resist it we can!!

Also you don't need the university to hold your hand to hear from us.

Are we meant to believe that the state legislature has no authority over UM and what gets built in our state? Why vote for you (or at all) if governance is this embarrassing and cowardly.

Unless you actually *believe* what they say about security, in which case we'd be happy to refresh you on basic object permanence and/or sell you a data center.

Embarrassing takes from State senator Jeff Irwin. "Uhh other bad things are happening so we should worry about $1.2billion of nuclear warfare in our backyard." LANL is literally calling this "the new Manhattan Project" It's a big deal and bad news for our community and communities all over the world

The UM/Los Alamos data center in Ypsilanti will most likely be used to continue these forever wars. We have to assume it will due to the classified nature of the that facility. Opposition to the data center in your district is opposition to unchecked militarism.

Say no to the umich - Los Alamos Data Center!

UMich is building the world’s β€œbiggest, baddest, fastest” supercomputer for the US military-industrial complex, in conjunction with Los Alamos National Labs. It will consume more power than all of the homes in Ypsi Township combined and more than 40 times the power draw of UM’s existing computing facilities. This facility will primarily be used for nuclear weapons development
and production.

The good news? Community activism works. We forced the University to push back construction of the data center two years, to 2028 – let’s keep going and shut down the data center project forever. Sign the petition today!

DOWN WITH THE WAR MACHINE! PROTECT THE HURON! FIGHT FOR YPSILANTI! INVEST MONEY RESPONSIBLY! TAKE BACK OUR UNIVERSITY! STOP THE DATA CENTER!

Claiming the excess heat from data centers makes sewage treatment a lot easier is a lot like justifying murder because the gun makes a good hand warmer after you shoot it

A Small Town Is Fighting a $1.2 Billion AI Datacenter for America's Nuclear Weapon Scientists Ypsilanti, Michigan has officially decided to fight against the construction of a 'high-performance computing facility' that would service a nuclear weapons laboratory 1,500 miles away.

@404media.co "I think about the impact of introducing nuclear technology to the world and deploying it on civilians..the impact on the well-being of my family from living next to a nuclear test site and the spiritual impact that it had on my family for generations..we dont need more nuclear weapons”

Our takeaway is that data centers exist in the context of their environments and exacerbate existing utility and pollution concerns.

What does that mean for us? Longer blackouts after a strong gust of wind? Higher concentrations of pfas? Who knows! It's all under an NDA 🫠🫠🫠
