A website advertising the rallies lists what it sees as the dangers of data centers: secrecy, water use, air pollution, national security, energy, land use and noise.
This sounds great!
If you go to their website and see some more valid concerns mixed with these valid ones. Noise pollution. Children being driven to suicide. But wait, there's some weird stuff.
if we lose control of superintelligent AI…
[ellipsis theirs]
And then you look at their call to action, and it features nothing about water, air, noise, energy, land pollution, child abuse, suicide. The only part left is the wacky stuff, warning AI will become super powerful and begging for strict regulation and testing that would squeeze out anybody but the biggest AI companies.
No no no, trust me, they all use AI. They just don't want it in their backyards.
This is the kind of stuff they use to build in predominantly minority neighborhoods. White people are angry that their skin color is no longer protecting them from it.
I think the US, but the website is paywalled so can't be sure. Not bet on brand for them I must say. Normally that are all in favour of killing the future in favour of a quick buck.

This project is a fucking bait and switch.

Frontier AI models will be restricted only for government and megacorp use, not available to all, that was always the goal.
This just gets plebes on board with it.

How shocking that this suddenly coincides with every AI model now charging even for “free” use
