"A data center is one of the absolute worst economic development tools that you can have in a community. It doesn't create any jobs. It doesn't create any knock-on economic effects, because the only thing that wants to be located next to a data center is a data center."... show more

Your Summer Anthem Has Arrived: Data Center JFK! "Tax breaks here, tax breaks there, data centers everywhere!" John Kennedy voted for the data center tax breaks. I voted against them. If you want to end the data center tax breaks, you have a choice: Data Center JFK — or me.

🚨NEW AD: David Crowley wants Wisconsin to become a data center hub for the “entire globe.” That’s not my vision. No new data centers without strong standards that protect our farmland and water, shield Wisconsin ratepayers, ban secret NDAs, and end data center tax breaks.

News just broke that Rick Jackson is currently investing in a Texas Data Center and wants to bring them here to Georgia. Same Rick Jackson that accused me of putting a data center on my land! So to put the record straight, here it is! The fake data center they have been lying about is just green beautiful Georgia pasture.

David Sacks Responds to Kathy Hochul’s Moratorium on Data Centers “Everything she's saying is a false accusation on the data center … These data centers have become the scapegoat for all of the angst that people have about AI.”

Lutnick: If you are building a data center, you were going to give power to the grid and drive the energy costs of everybody around that data center lower. Trump is going to bring lower energy prices. Everywhere that a big company builds a big data center, they are going to lower the price of energy in the entire area around it.

Meta is now running pro-data center ads featuring small towns. The ads tout job creation, but a data center may only create 50 long-term jobs. Residents near Meta data centers have complained about nonstop noise, pollution, wells running dry and rapidly rising electric bills.

Theo Von on data centers: “It reminds me of Dr. Frankenstein. To be building the thing that’s going to hypothetically take you over. Building a data center that you think may poison your kids or may damage the air or that could be the thing that takes your job”

Hasan Piker convinces three voters in Denver driving by to vote for Melat Kiros before polls close at 7PM "What do you guys think about the data center that just popped up over here?" "Yeah! That random one? We hate it!" "Alright listen, Diana DeGette, who's represented this district for 30 years in congress, is saying nothing about the data centers because she's in the pocket of corporations. Melat Kiros is gonna fight back with a data center moratorium. She wants to put a stop to these data centers being getting popped up left and right. You guys are stuck between a data center and a Purina factory and that's not good for these little guys back there." "It's poison, yeah." "Do you have a ballot in your house right now?" "I have three."

One day your grandchildren may ask about the Data Center JFK era. The time Georgia politicians gave away tax breaks and turned the most beautiful state in America into a playground for big tech data center developers. John Kennedy helped start it. I'll help end it.

"The most important thing in the next 3-4 years is data centers in space. In every way, data centers in space, from a first principles perspective, are superior to data centers on earth. In space, you can keep a satellite in the sun 24 hours a day. The sun is 30% more intense, which results in six times more irradiance than on Earth. So you don't need a battery. The cooling in these data centers is incredibly complicated. Space cooling is free. You just put a radiator on the dark side of the satellite. The only thing faster than a laser going through a fiber optic cable is a laser going through absolute vacuum. Link satellites with lasers, and you have a faster and more coherent network than any data center on Earth."

How much were these city council members in Utah paid to allow a data center in their community that affects so many lives? Should not plans to build a data center be put to a vote on the ballot by the community?

A massive 350,000 square foot data center in Massachusetts is nicknamed “The Dungeon” by residents The data center promised it would provide lots of new jobs to the community. Only about 12 people work there…. The data center is causing constant visible pollution and a lot of noise to residents It’s using about 120,000 gallons of water per day and using as much power as 40,000 American homes Residents were lied to Get this, the data center is buying nearby homes and properties to expand….

SICKENING: AOC Just showed off the Georgia drinking water from Meta's AI Data Centers. Thank you Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez: "This is the current drinking water in Morgan County, Georgia. Right after a data center was constructed, the metadata center was constructed, the only difference between the clean water and this was that data center. I have another one as well. So this wasn't just one well, these wasn't just one family's situation. This is what the drinking water now looks like next to that data center. And I think both of us can agree that neither one of these things are drinkable. These families now have to ship, in a rural area, have to ship water to their house in order to cook and bathe themselves."

ASML CEO on Elon Musk's Data Centers in space and Terafab: "I think you need a certain amount of data centers and they will be in space, they will be on the earth. I think the discussion about data centers in space is to address another potential bottleneck in the ecosystem, which is energy. I think the discussion around putting data center in space is there because if you do that, the energy consumption or the energy availability will be there, about trying to solve another potential big issue, which is energy for data center. I think the Terafab is an example of a major fab project."

🚨 NOW — PRESIDENT TRUMP: "If I were a community? I would WANT the data center!" "It means jobs, it means income, and it means lower taxes." Q: Do you want Republican candidates to take the same stance? TRUMP: "No, I want them to do what they want." "If a Republican is against the data center, that's okay with me. I'm only saying that if I ran a community, now there are different types of communities." "But generally speaking, if I ran a community, if I was a mayor or if I was a governor in the state, I would want to have the data centers because they bring tremendous income. They're clean. They produce their own energy. The new ones are producing their own energy. I would want to have data centers."

🚨Byron Donalds says Floridians should EMBRACE data centers. “You're going to have data centers. We need to embrace that, not run away from that. We have actual land in our state that is still pristine, available to use. We can build up that stuff. I would rather build a data center in one of these deals or probably FOUR data centers.”

Perplexity CEO Aravind Srinivas on the biggest threat to the data center industry: It's not competition. It's not regulation. It's decentralisation. "The biggest threat to a data center is if the intelligence can be packed locally on a chip that's running on the device and then there's no need to inference all of it on like one centralized data center." He outlines how this could work in practice. Personalisation doesn't necessarily require on-device model training. Retrieval augmented generation, tool calls, and local data can already tailor AI to individual users. But the real unlock? Test time training. Aravind Srinivas describes a future where AI lives on your device, watches how you work and gradually automates your repetitive tasks. "Imagine we crack test time training where the AI watches tasks you repeatedly do on your local system, adapts to you over time and starts automating a lot of the things you do." The key insight: in this model, the intelligence belongs to you. It's your data, your device, your personalised AI brain. And if that future arrives, the economics of centralised infrastructure start to collapse. "That really disrupts the whole data center industry. It doesn't make sense to spend all this money, 500 billion, 5 trillion, whatever on building all the centralized data centers across the world that do a lot of the intelligence workloads for people." The companies spending trillions on centralised infrastructure may want to rethink where intelligence actually needs to live.
