Will Hollingsworth is his name

Give him a listen

Talking against a #dataCenter proposal in Ravenna, #Ohio

Speaking eloquently on how he trained the #AI that replaced him, bad #regulations, lying #techBros...

Witty, passionate, persuasive

Will is a #citizen in the finest sense of the word

"I am not a cynic when it comes to #technology. I am believer in #community. I believe that a drop of clean #water for a Ravenna child is worth more than a billion #AI generated images"

👏 👏 👏

@benroyce So well articulated.
@CStamp i'd vote for him!

@CStamp

i've been to city council meetings

he got a belly laugh at the 2-3 minute mark where in the usual speech 90% of people listening are having their eyes glazed over

@benroyce

An unfortunate subtitle at the end. Instead of "Ravenna child": "revenant child." 🧟

@darth_hideout

I saw that. Then I thought, why yes, that's what PFAs do to children

@benroyce He speaks for me, without doubt.
@benroyce
Powerful speech by Will Hollingsworth. So glad I took the time & thank you Ben for sharing this.
@benroyce Wow. This needs to be translate in every language possible.

Reed Memorial Library Event
@fracicone @benroyce My local library is having a ‘prom pop-up’ this weekend.
@fracicone @benroyce I think it’s an idea that is catching on in lots of places
@grammasaurus @fracicone @benroyce what is a prom pop-up?

@fazalmajid @fracicone @benroyce People donate formal wear for teens to pick something out for prom (which gets insanely expensive otherwise!)

The pop-up part is that the site is only open one weekend, so they have to act quickly.

You might be surprised how much wonderful clothing is hanging in closets for years.

@benroyce thanks for sharing this excellent intervention about the damages of hyperscale data centres.

@benroyce Absolute brilliant speech! He absolutely nailed the issue!
@benroyce this applies to every effing AI datacenter being planned globally. it's beyond desgusting. and Will is absolutely spot on!

@benroyce oh wow, well-said!

Our city commission only allows citizens three minutes to speak, so we always have to break our speeches up over more than one person. 🙄
