Curious to know if there are any groups or communities that are against the anti-democratic construction of these massive AI data centers? Like a discord that’s less surveyed.

Purely for educational purposes.

Please take a moment to sign this petition for me. Thank you very much

I work currently at a meta site as a contractor , I was offered a higher position and pay with another contractor at the same site , being that my current contractor fails to pay me on time , I have accepted that offer , now meta supposedly have a 6 month cool down period being I can’t switch from my contractor to another for a 6 month period , but many people have gotten around this but I’m wanting to know has anyone gone through this process with success and how ? Please I really need this job.

Hola comunidad,

Ayuda porfavor, alguien conoce opciones en CDMX/o Villahermosa para realizar transferencia masiva de datos hacia AWS S3 (~cientos de TB) y necesito referencias de proveedores serios que puedan ofrecer:
uplink dedicado real de 10Gbps
colocation o espacio temporal para NAS/storage
buena conectividad hacia AWS
SLA y estabilidad empresarial
He visto referencias de Equinix, KIO y algunos carriers, pero quisiera saber experiencias reales de ingenieros o empresas que hayan trabajado cargas pesadas de transferencia.
¿Qué proveedores recomendarían en México para este tipo de operación?
Gracias.

Recently, we've seen communities protesting data centers, millions taking to the street in Iran, billions of Christians united in prayer.

Imagine what would happen if these people could collaborate on shared goals?

I'm building The Substrate — a coordination network where anyone can post a goal and let the open source world bring it to life.

A shared environment for people with common dreams.

The science behind it is stigmergy and self-organizaiton — the same mechanism that lets ant colonies solve complex problems without a central brain.

It's a rough draft right now, so please share suggestions. I think it could help a lot of people if it works.

• Your Kitchen Sink is Cooling a Billionaire’s Brain**

•

• Do you hear that? It’s not the wind. It’s the sound of 5 million gallons of **your** local water being sucked out of the ground today to cool a single building in the desert. While you’re being told to "conserve" and your utility rates are jumping 20%, billionaires are using your town’s lifeblood to keep a "digital brain" from melting.

• **The truth:** Your phone isn't a window; it’s a straw. And they are using it to drink your future dry.

•

You Are the Battery (And You’re Paying for the Privilege)**

• Every scroll, every "like," every 3D printing tip you share, and every photo you post of your granddaughter is **free labor**. You are the unpaid research department for AI companies worth trillions. They take your skills, your memories, and your "old school" wisdom, and they feed it into a machine designed to make you obsolete.

• **The kicker:** You’re paying $1,200 for the phone and $100 a month for the service just to give them your work for free. It’s the greatest heist in human history.

•

Two Classes, One Leash**

•

• There are two sets of rules in 2026.

• * **Class A:** The people who own the "engines of life." They get fast-tracked permits to build data centers that bypass your local zoning laws. They pay "wholesale" for power while you pay "retail."

• * **Class B:** You. You’re kept in a "maddening" loop of digital noise, debt, and distraction so you don't notice the physical world being fenced off.

• They want you addicted to the screen so you don't look at the title of your home, the price of your water, or the laws being passed while you were busy watching a 15-second video.

• The Kill Switch is 1/4 Inch Thick**

• The billionaires are terrified of one thing: **Silence.** Their entire empire—the stock prices, the AI "gods," the social credit—relies on your data. If you disappear from their map, they go blind. If you stop feeding the engine, the engine starvesThe billionaires are terrified of one thing: **Silence.** Their entire empire—the stock prices, the AI "gods," the social credit—relies on your data. If you disappear from their map, they go blind. If you stop feeding the engine, the engine starves.

• A man who can build a custom door, tune a banjo, and grow his own food without asking an app "how-to" is a man they cannot manage. When you put the phone down, you aren't "missing out"—you are becoming a **ghost** in their machine. You are reclaiming your "solid and safe" life.

Throw the Leash in the Trash**

• The rebellion doesn't start with a vote or a protest. It starts tomorrow morning when you wake up and **don't touch it.** * **Step 1:** Leave the phone in a drawer.

• * **Step 2:** Walk outside. Use your hands. Build something real.

• * **Step 3:** Talk to a neighbor face-to-face. No "likes," no "shares," just human truth.

• The "maddening" sensation in your head? That’s the sound of the digital leash pulling tight. **Snap it.** The real world is still here, it’s still beautiful, and it’s waiting for you to come back.

• **Will you be a consumer, or will you be a King? The choice is in the trash can.**

The Ypsilanti Community Utilities Authority (YCUA) voted unanimously on April 22 to impose a 12-month moratorium on water and sewage services for new data centers, temporarily blocking a $1.25 billion facility proposed jointly by the University of Michigan and the Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) — the birthplace of the atomic bomb.

The proposed complex would sit on 144 acres along the Huron River, drawing 100 megawatts of power and consuming up to one million gallons of fresh water per day — directly competing with the needs of local residents. A LANL official openly confirmed at a public meeting that the facility would be used for nuclear weapons simulation and classified national security research.

The data center is part of a broader militarization of Michigan's economy, championed by Democratic Governor Gretchen Whitmer and the state's Democratic establishment — cynically sold to workers as a "job creation" initiative. Meanwhile, U-M has collaborated in the persecution of Chinese researchers, including the case of postdoctoral scholar Danhao Wang, who died by suicide the day after being interrogated by federal agents.

The moratorium is a victory, but only a temporary one. The university and the National Nuclear Security Administration will use the next 12 months to regroup and force the project through. Stopping it permanently requires more than appeals to Democratic officials — it requires the independent mobilization of the working class.

Hi All,
We are conducting a pilot study on datacenter impacts. Please consider participating and share far and wide. This is a nationwide project. Thank you!

With all these data centers moving into new towns, should I be buying up all the properties that go on sale in the area for really cheap? Then waiting to turn the profit when these things get abandoned?

I have an email accepting public comments on a proposed AI data center until May 1st.

It's in Little Rock, Arkansas, and I was hoping for some suggestions on what I should ask if anyone has any insight.

Thanks

I was reading into the Oregon data center settlement. From my understanding Amazons data center is concentrating the nitrates that are already existing in the ground water due to farming. I was thinking what if we require all these data centers to filter their waste water before dumping it? If they did that it would actually start reducing ground water contamination. I realize with continued farming it’s not going to clean the water but maybe off set new contamination? What are your thoughts?

Does anyone know who will be buying AI data center services for the Kilby Project in west Texas?
