For those of you defending the data centers, go up to data center alley near the Ashburn rink or the new cluster of data centers near Ion training center, spend a full day, and report back how you feel. Headaches? Weird fatigue? Maybe take an EMF detector and see what you are being exposed to. It’s not pretty.

Not sure Ashburn is an exurb and if it was, why would this matter? People live in these places, and their lives are no less important than yours.
I really don’t want them built anywhere because they are a huge resource suck no matter where they are built and they are ruining peoples’ way of life (and probably all of our livelihoods).
I am lucky I live in Fairfax county where it is already very filled in and there are no data centers very close to my house, though it looks like they are building one across from my kid’s school. Hopefully our county government doesn’t get any big ideas and start selling park land.

I would be very happy if these data centers - and AI in general - simply imploded.
Why? AI is great and we need these data centers for progress. What is your problem with them exactly? Why do you hate progress?
