These are the worst people for this position.
Also, Meta just lost a case on child protections on their platform. Just want to throw that out there.

BREAKING: Trump will appoint Mark Zuckerberg, Larry Ellison and Jensen Huang to the President’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology. The council will weigh in on AI policy and other issues, per @WSJ.

@citadelchief @atrembath These are the types of laws that could be made instead of straight up banning them. I proposed something like each center needs solar panels that provide >=80% of energy consumed (just an idea). Much easier to implement imo and better than banning.
English
@Knightwolfbr @atrembath Yeah, but it's actually much more workable than they let on. Our Google center load shares between 3 different sources, one of them being quasi state-owned, which limits the strain on any one provider.
Since then, new centers aren't doing that though.

AI data centers are maybe the single biggest source of demand pull ever for nuclear, geothermal, batteries, transmission, and grid flexibility.
So naturally climate activists are trying to ban them.
Jordan Weissmann@JHWeissmann
Relatedly, it's not obvious that banning data centers is a net win for climate activists. Yes, they're keeping some fossil fuels on the grid. They're also arguably the key force driving the U.S.'s clean tech industry now, after Trump eviscerated EV subsidies.
English
@citadelchief @atrembath I know about the water stuff and looking at studies on it, they don't use as much water as previously thought. It is the electricity that is more worrisome. If data centers also provided a lot of their own power, I would have no issue with them.
English
@Knightwolfbr @atrembath Could be (and likely so in most cases).
I just know that in my area (we have a Google data center) people were complaining about them using up our water table and there wasn't much talk about electric bills. In fact, we had that center almost 10 years before any price hike.
English
@citadelchief @atrembath Oh for sure climate activists are using this as an opportunity. Climate activists are also the easy people to blame if something doesn't go their way.
I think the majority issue for people though is the spike in energy prices.
English
@Knightwolfbr @atrembath It's both. Anger/fear/uncertainty in local communities is being used by climate/environment advocacy groups for momentum.
Like most things, there's an "ally of convenience" aspect to the fight against data centers.

Do I personally think data centers should just be built wherever, whenever? No. But hyperscalers are already moving toward building out their own power, which I think is a much better solution.

Government in a nutshell:
✅Create massive 4 hour TSA lines
✅ Do nothing to address the problem for weeks
✅ Pass out free water bottles to people in line instead of fixing it
✅ Confiscate those water bottles at the end of the line, because TSA says they're dangerous
Daily Wire@realDailyWire
While Dems crash out over ICE agents in airports, ICE is literally handing out water bottles and saving spots so people can use the restroom.

Almost 300,000 seniors hold over $30 million in wealth.
Do they really need $100,000 a year in Social Security benefits too?
Owen Zidar@omzidar
They’re Rich but Not Famous—and They’re Suddenly Everywhere. Fun talking to the wsj for this story wsj.com/economy/wealth…
English
@JHWeissmann A quick thought is require all data centers to build solar panels to cover minimum of 80% of the electric used.

One thing about an AI data center ban is that, in any world where you could pass it, you could also probably just pass legislation making it easier to build out new power on the grid instead.

BREAKING: @AOC and @SenSanders are introducing a ban on AI data centers and other hyperscale data centers. The ban would remain until Congress passes new AI legislation. That legislation must ensure AI is safe, benefits workers, and doesn't raise electricity prices.

This would be a fire tweet if public and private schools didn't have different rules, laws, and standards.
Marc Porter Magee 🎓@marcportermagee
Public schools: “But how will we enforce this cell phone ban?!” Private schools: “We saw you using your phone in hallway. We will give you your phone back next month.”
English
This is not a new problem. Lots of job postings are looking for experienced professionals in fields for people fresh out of college which is impossible.
Emily Galvin-Almanza@GalvinAlmanza
I don't get how people are planning to sidestep the very basic problem that if you don't have junior hires right now, you won't have experienced people 5 or 10 years later.

The idea to have NIL transfer fees for all sports is fantastic btw. Should be implemented asap.

What....and I can't say this clearly enough...the fuck?!

Republicans advance Iowa’s “Medical Ethics Defense Act,” allowing providers to refuse care based on beliefs, while critics warn it could lead to discrimination. More details here: cbs2iowa.com/news/local/bil…

Meanwhile, the Senate just voted to block an effort by Chuck Schumer to hold a vote on a standalone bill to pay TSA workers.
Ninth time Republicans have blocked pay for TSA workers, per Schumer's office.

@EconBerger @ModeledBehavior But Guy...sometimes all you want is trash pizza after a long day lol
English
@ModeledBehavior Not only that, the pizza in a lot of these places is worse than wha you can buy frozen in the supermarket for less money
English
Pizza making has been fully automated. This has been true for years.
But if you go into a pizza shop across the country, it's mostly still people doing it by hand.
Can automate != will automate

This would require an inflation rate of 12.2% every year for 20 years.
Pete Mundo@PeteMundo
Because at the rate we are going, that $1 million will be worth $100,000 in 20 years!
