Our primary adversary, China, is currently eating our lunch on AI development

Yeah no. See also, not sentient.

Data Centres consume massive amounts of energy, which they force their neighbours to pay for, and water. They are massively polluting, and AI is not the societal boon that tech bros would have you believe. Rep Zinke should try listening to his constituents instead of his donors.

As a former geologist, he's an expert on the subject.

Zinke is lower in popularity than GOP Congress. He does zero work for Montana. Notice he doesn't mention "power" being price affected. They should be demonized, but no one mentioned "children" except Zinke. He is heavily invested in the companies that are building Data Centers.

Rep Ryan Zinke is an American adversary and in it for the money and power. This is the first he has made a public statement (even in Montana) for months, if not a year or more. He pushed the clearcutting of National Forests on the Continental divide that destroys the wildlife corridors to Canada.

Tech companies themselves are warning of the job replacement by AI.

We should all fear an unregulated AI. We should all be missed that billionaires are stealing our resources for data centers.

Christ on a cracker, I'd 😡🤬🤬like to shove a data center up his ass sideways.

Bullshit, they suck resources, don’t provide jobs. We don’t need them

i am more concerned with the power drain of idiotic and corrupt crypto mining operations. they hold no inherent value and are primarily a way for drug dealers to launder their money (or the Trump family) get rid of crypto, the data center bubble will burst on its own soon enough

Actually it's from the people whose backyards are being poisoned from the pollution generated, but we know you don't believe in that.

Wow these guys are really clueless. They’re gonna be voted out of office

Quick, somebody buy the land adjacent to Zinke's home and install a data center. Point the gas turbine exhaust at his house.

And water shortages

I'm seeing more and more ads promoting AI and data centers. That tells me they are on the wrong side of humanity and are desperate to create a fantasy about how great they are.

Data centers should build their own power source and water reclamation facilities. Putting the burden on communities so they can reap in billions should not be allowed

Liar. 🙄

Not sure i trust it. I’ll admit, why do we need these as I don’t get it. Terminator vibes

He’s got a point about Congress.

Put all data centers in red states.

“The enemy of AI is my enemy. And they need to stop talking bad about us”

The problem with AI and the need for data centers is-there are no regulations and zero transparency- society as whole needs the plans and ability to have a stake in any profits or benefits that may come from the technology- we all know the tech bros don’t care about taking jobs plus all the profits

He knows they suck everything out of a state. Such a fuckin liar.

A fucking henchman straight out of an environmental catastrophe movie.

”Demons have been demonized.”

"largely"?

Zinke has always been a spokesperson for the highest bidder.

If it looks like a demon and misinforms like a demon… futurism.com/artificial-i...

Those adversaries being anyone not serving a fascist oligarchy that demands to control the world through mental manipulation, misinformation, and just plain human extermination. bsky.app/profile/atru...

The adversaries that this administration is courting every day? Like North Korea (just yesterday!) China, Russia? I hate that this blatant and appalling hypocrisy is never getting called out by anyone the press. It’s so infuriating!

Spokesman for Cyberdyne system. Largely from our adversaries that don't understand Skynet

Zinke looks stinky

That's me, your adversary

It’s not we fear AI, we fear (and oppose) the mass consumption of resources and materials along with the massive pollution created by these projects

Dear democrats, please make a moratorium on data centers and tearing down flock cameras part of your official platform.

Bitch, here's a data center. You wanna live next to this? www.facebook.com/watch/?v=102...

"This opposing rhetoric is coming from our rhetorical opponents"

Just shut up.

The very first corrupt trump appointee to resign in disgrace and still gets elected to congress. The gop is an endless fountain of corruption and pedophiles

"They take away your children." ????

Sure thing hoss, it's definitely not the people living near them that are complaining 🙄

His check from Ellison must have cleared.😏

It really doesn’t take anything other than 500,000 water A DAY to make me question what could possibly be worth it. I see zero reason to rush this construction. We need better plans first. Better understanding of what advantages there would be. Making rich people richer is not a valid reason.

Yeah, AI is reliable. 44% of Moby Dick was written by or assisted by AI.

HUMAN BEINGS???? 🙄

Hey, Ryan - until you live with a data center in your own backyard, SHUT UP.

I think it more has to do with the pollution and being a pain in the ass resources wise for those who live near one

So wanna be Skynet is now pushing who the enemies are.

America's enemies have nothing to fear from our AI. Almost all of the bandwidth is being used to create images of Donald Trump giving George Washington a tour of his imaginary ballroom. What's left over is barely enough to put addresses on junk mail.

We have the intent and have heard the tech bros talk about replacing humans with robots, culling the planet of a large portion of the population,using women as incubators,implanting tech in people,and them using tech to live forever.Not to mention the destruction of land, and environment,and energy.

Technology makes life easier, water makes it possible.

Largely because people are afraid that they might run out of fresh water and energy, and that costs for both will rise.

Love to follow the money and see how much money he’s taken from Ai

Still an insipid idiot I see.

Reminder: The AI boom relies on cheaply-built installations. That means, no on-site electric generation from solar or wind, no water discharge processing from cooling units, no noise abatement. To say AI is a bad neighbor is an understatement. www.fastcompany.com/91563531/rea...

Buddy you're losing www.facebook.com/share/v/19So...

And the water they require! There is no place in this country that has enough water to spare for a data center.

Okay Boomer

[CITATION NEEDED]

Congress needs to start addressing people's real concerns about data centers and AI. Blaming it on adversaries misses the point entirely youtu.be/sQysEweaLjA?...

And of course the poor communities where these are built that have new horrific noise pollution, new water supply and water safety issues and even more dramaticly skyrocketing energy costs... with zero say or interest/benefit directly to them. Just that too...

The data centers to demonize are the hyper-scale ones built by Oracle'n'Nvidia for OpenAI, since they're wasteful and we know they're all destined for the auction block when OpenAI inevitably goes bankrupt. As for the data centers where we run Apache or Postfix, leave Linode and DigitalOcean alone!

you have to give me property but I'd let them build. there are 16 planned or active in Lehigh Valley: Upper Mount Bethel Palmer South Whitehall Upper Macungie Upper Saucon North Whitehall Lower Saucon Lowhill Bushkill Washington Plainfield Allentown Moore Upper Nazareth Lower Nazareth Chapman

Don't be silly. Ryan isn't poor and brown.

We have Rep. Ryan Zinke's political snapshot for anyone unfamiliar with him 📸

How much money have the AI people paid him?

🤔

Those teenage girls in Utah were agents for North Korea. Right?!

Moloch has largely been demonized… and where does this rhetoric emanate from? Largely from our adversaries that hate the money Moloch will grant us.

My bigger concern is that these buildings will be built and then abandoned within a decade because that amount of space won't be needed any longer. They'll be just like all those abandoned Walmarts...eyesores that the taxpayers will have to pay to tear them down.

Where is this coming from? Humans. It’s coming from humans.

That’s literally what is happening.

Me, a decade ago: MAGA ate RU talking points until they are fucked in the head. MAGA then: HOW DAAAARE YOU??? I HAVE AGENCY!!!!

No. It's just me.

Just like windmills, solar and renewable energy has been demonized by big energy and Trump. Way behind china. Record heat and drought.

Or the people who, unlike you, will have to live near them. Nobody's building a data center in whatever gated community that rich prick lives in.

I doubt that...some people (those who are pro data centers) have one-way vision...others see the "big picture". "For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction" Newton's 3rd Law of Motion.

It’s coming from people concerned about their water supply, electricity bills and other costs for something that benefits very few very much and very many very little.

No, from the people with polluted water, noise and jacked up electricity bills. Plus if you need a stick of RAM its eye watering price is terrible.

Incline Village, NV. That's the rich part of Tahoe.

pls tell the dude that they are demonized because they are behemoths polluting our air, land, and water.

So citizens in small town America are adversaries now?

It’s always ok to put one in someone’s else’s yard. Put one on his backyard and see how quickly his attitude changes.

For supposedly super smart people, these AI guys are super dumb AI will come and take your job! Followed by: AI data centres will come take all your electricity and water! Leaving a low hum in your area Benefit? AI slop drowning out the last semblance of human interaction on social media

*This* Ryan Zinke? It is amazing how criminals with zero integrity and no credibility make bold statements and expect to be taken seriously. www.citizensforethics.org/reports-inve...

Zinke is just another MAGA grifter that should never be in a position of power of any kind!

It’s interesting for a human being to refer to the human race as “our adversaries.”

Develop it in your own fucking back yard.

Exactly this.

Put data centers in wealthy communities then.

No, stupid ass. It is coming from the destruction of our resources and communities. Take those techie balls out of your mouth.

Okay, Ryan. Where do you live so we can put a data center near you? How long before you try to sell your house and move? Would you stay and endure all the air, heat, noise, and environmental pollution it puts out with no tangible benefit to the people in the area?

Rinky-dinky Ryan Zinke.

no credibility

So terrified of us that they are pretty much ignoring the tech in favor of kicking our ass with solar and renewables.

bsky.app/profile/sara...

Ummm, yeah.

I’m sure he has in his backyard.

Nearest hyperscale data center from Whitefish, MO 240 miles in WA state. From Santa Barbara, CA? 100 miles. Sure, he's not bothered by them.

My electric costs have tripled and there's no potable water in my community; but yes, I'm just an adversary.

Yup— the neighbor mad about the 24/7 hum and the tripled water bill turns out to be a Chinese asset— nothing says “national security threat” like NIMBY…

Maybe he wants to drink brown water like the people in TX?

These people genuinely cant fathom other people having opinions on shit that aren't being paid for by foreign governments

The only "good" place for a data center is in the middle of an industrial area, away from schools and homes. Even then they need to PAY for the upgrade in infrastructure and use green energy.

Fuck these corporate, Trump loving assholes.

We've had enough "artificial intelligence", just look at bozos like Zinke, RFK Jr. We need leaders with Real intelligence.

He also allegedly has a drinking problem.

All I’m hearing is that Zinke wants an AI data center set up in the neighborhoods of his wealthiest donors. 🤷🏽‍♂️

He's referring to the American public as "our adversaries".

Ryan has one right next to his house. He loves it!

Republican traitors

Whose adversaries? Fuck AI and fuck everyone who develops or supports it. This message is coming from *inside* the house.
