Data centers already exist for numerous reasons and will continue to exist so long as we rely on technology. He wants to make sure that they don't exploit people . This clip cuts him off before he even explains because you're retweeting republican attack ads.

The Twitter Police going after the ACTUAL criminals for once, we love to see it :P

Datacenters are the new moral panic, and Crowley is laying out a rational and reasonable position. More of this!

What's Krystal's endgame here? Get Tom Tiffany elected?

Oh really? These people are being bad faith? Oh my god what a shocker. It's almost like we've been calling them Blue MAGA for a while now yet other people are just catching up to it.

The moratorium would allow the guardrails to get constructed, no? Then you ease up on the moratorium once those carefully crafted guardrails he’s seeking have been put in place.

I wonder why would she do that.

Why do so many people on the left do so much work to validate right wing talking points? What is the goal here? We have enough problems fighting off right winged hypocrisy, we don't need help.

she's knows what shes doing, but it was an opportunity to attack a non leftist democrat so she's going to take it.

trueeeee.

even soypill seeing clearly here. these socialist dumb fucks have REALLY lost the plot.

@thepondering_ does this count bro…? Cutting these people off now or….??

@josecanyousee

So should we ramp up their construction with tax payer dollars while the benefactors feign profitability with circular financing? I hope you’d say no and Crowley likely will be fine but he ought to read the room on this if he wants to secure the W.

@LSynnove

This is the pushback liberals like to see against the left. Good job

Sadly, that's the thing though he really has to change his position 180° ASAP It's not about the technology and the fact that we were relying on it It's the fact that we never relied on it this heavily before so we don't need to start doing it now and if we do, we should start with a moratorium to see what happens if we do put in a data center Discuss with the residence may be find an alternative that doesn't destroy the environment as bad

Google the word moratorium. You know absolutely nothing.

She not on the same team

@thesoypill Regular data centers sure, but there must be a nation wide moratorium on any that are built for Ai. The American people are not in an Ai race with China or anyone. The billionaires are in a an Ai race to replace humanity and all of us.

True, but his stance is not meeting the moment. Data centers threaten to destroy our green spaces and make life more unaffordable, all for the chase of profits from AI

@notsoErudite THANK YOU SOY PILL! So many lefty’s and righty’s clipped the hell out of @DavidCrowleyWI.

Leaving the ability to approve or deny large projects to local municipalities whose officials are easily bought out is one of THE dumbest policy positions I've ever heard, but keep disingenuously framing it as "community control." A moratorium is a much more effective policy

being pro data center is wild

Gonna re quote the argument I made to someone else; when are we gonna learn that it is our job to reduce reactionary salience of a political issue and reshape the narrative? And newsflash to everyone; the very internet you use relies on data centers.

Why are the republicans attacking their own?

Crawford takes a lot of money from Republican mega donors who invest heavily in AI. Now those chickens are coming home to roost.

BBBASED SOYPILL

@notsoErudite It’s almost like she wants democrats to lose 🤔 weird right?!?

“ He wants to make sure that they don't exploit people .” By doing what? Only thing I heard him say is he might get involved in local elections after it’s too late A moratorium may not be the answer, but it’s at least an attempt at a solution

who could have expected this

rare soy pill w

not every voter has the time (or cares enough) to find the actual context or full clip of everything, like yes the clipping is in bad faith but also maybe he should have a comms person tell him to maybe not word it in a way that can get so easily clipped and used against him

These are the people you want to build a coalition with, you moron.

The premise you give of "They exist and will continue to exist" is the problem. This doesn't need to be the truth.

Leaving them to the communities doesn’t work because the data centers just buy off local government officials
