You: Should we really be burning through a swimming pool of fresh water just so a chatbot can write my birthday card?

Pro-AI guy: That's not water loss, that's temporary water borrowing for the greater good of humanity.

Big Tech 'thought leaders' really tried to host a panel to fix the massive energy drains they just built. Glad to see activists cutting through the corporate hocus pocus.

Effingham, GA, USA: Open AI has not yet done a noise study for areas around it's planned 3.2 gw datacenter, but according to OpenAI staff there is no plan to show results to the public once completed.

The world's largest data center is set to be built in Rincon, the county's biggest town. The facility will be next to two elementary schools and within 1,000 yards of residential homes.

Residents have filed two lawsuits so far, including one with the conservation group One Hundred Miles, Inc. These lawsuits target Effingham County officials and IDA for the secrecy in which the deals with OpenAI were made, violation of GA's Open Meetings and Open Record's Act, and the 15-year tax break granted to OpenAI that is estimated to be worth $900 million.

They are trying to ruin a beautiful valley with a horrible data center roughly 1.6 miles from my home.

If anyone would take the time to sign the petition I would greatly appreciate it!
