Also the first time I have seen this happen; Maybe it's the public bias toward bad news, but good grief do we need to see more of this.
@toerror it's far from the first time I've seen this happen -- the data centers are being blocked right and left. People do not want that shit in their neighborhoods and public awareness is really high about it. That's why the AI corps are trying to get the politicians at the federal level to make it *illegal* to block the data centers or regulate AI in any way. Because they're getting massive pushback.

@susankayequinn Good, and thanks.. I only hope this manages to happen in the UK before it's too late.

@toerror well, it only happens if we make it happen. I really don't believe in "too late" (or "too early" either!). The thing I think is most powerful in the world right now is making sure everyone knows they have *agency* in the world. They can do things differently and it doesn't just *matter*... *it is everything*. ✊
