And maybe if many of the AI scientists are OPs, they will even claim that all the bases have been covered and the weaknesses people see aren't there at all, they're just imagining things or they are anti-AI. Anyone who is not an OP will not only see the weak points, but it will be blatant as other functionalities are dramatically improved in contrast.

Even worse, AI developers may be psychopaths. Here's one now. One thing he's very good at, is lying....

I wasn’t up to date on how fast datacenter construction is progressing in the US. What’s interesting is that a single Cerebras CS‑3 node consumes as much power as 60 consumer RTX 3090 GPUs (the lowest spec you can run an LLM on with some acceptable results).

When a Data Centers is built; the local residents near/ closer to its location all have their Electric and Water Bills hiked up within a short time span. Those bills more than double for some. This is the experience of the residents in Atoka, Oklahoma. When the Chinese operating DataCenter 'Tokyo Energy Park' moved in. Because these Data Centers do not operate on Gas. Gas bills are the only bills to not increase when a new Data Center is built near a residential area. For Atoka the DataCenter did not bring more jobs for the local community as most of jobs were contracted to out of state companies.

Asking AI to color in an old Black/White Photo

What he discovered when he tasked multiple AIs to recolor his childhood black/white photo. For items the AI couldn't identify it would insert its own items into the picture. It was rewriting/ reframing historical records however it wished. He asks what other avenues/ use cases for AI- are similar- minor edits being made and going unnoticed?

On Monday, an Indianapolis councilman's home was the target of a shooting. A note was left on the door step that read "NO DATA CENTERS." Upon reading the news article more closely, I realized the approved site of the data center is 1.5 miles from my home. Time to move?

'No Data Centers': Indy councilor's home hit with 13 shots in targeted attack

INDIANAPOLIS (WRTV) — A targeted shooting at an Indianapolis councilman's home is under investigation after the politician backed a controversial data center project.

Indianapolis City-County Councilor Ron Gibson reported the attack early Monday morning, police said. Gibson represents District 8 on the city's near north and east sides. He has served since 2023.

The incident occurred just before 1 a.m., Gibson said. A suspect fired 13 rounds at his home. Gibson and his 8-year-old son were inside but were not injured.

The attacker left a note on Gibson's doorstep reading "No Data Centers," according to the councilman.

The shooting happened days after officials approved a data center in Gibson's district.

The Indianapolis Metropolitan Development Commission approved the Metrobloks data center April 1. The facility will be built on Sherman Drive near 25th Street in the Martindale-Brightwood area.

The project has faced significant opposition from residents and others citywide since it was first proposed.
