Need them to come to Memphis and drive around the rich White parts of town as Musk's data center destroy an Africian-American neighborhood.

Need them to come to Indianapolis as well. Government is pushing hard for a center in an already struggling east side

The visceral terror I feel when I see anything about AI is so difficult to explain to people around me who are like Yeah, I used it for this little work project… and then you sound like a lunatic when you try to tell them that these data centers are literally destroying the natural world. But no, you’re the jerk because you don’t care about the slop picture of them with a mullet.

My friend works in a very artistic field and we were just wondering about some random music fact. While I was combing through Wikipedia to get to the bottom of it she texted me "ChatGPT says it's xyz" and I was so disappointed. And it wasn't even correct.

With a “don’t vote for Byron Donalds unless you want more of this permanently” sign on the truck

Can we get a schedule and perhaps book appointments in various locales? This would help a lot in my area with a couple of small towns beset by looming dc’s.

Wow very effective. I truly hate that sound. I feel like I can still hear it even after turning off the sound.

Last place I lived in had vibrating pipes in the wall after they upgraded the central heating unit. You can't live in these conditions. It's not a background noise you get used to, frequencies like that drive you insane.

it's entirely unclear to most that this is datacenter noise. those who know it already know what it is, but we need to be reaching those who don't know, meaning the truck needs to say somewhere "datacenter noise is bad for your health" or in some way indicate it's datacenter noise

Wow this is a great form of both protest and informing others! There is a community in my city (Dublin, Ireland) who are dealing with this noise right now. It’s exactly like the one the truck is making and runs all day and night. It’s driving the locals crazy.

This is a genius move. Wherever those data centres get put, utterly ruins the environment.

I’m so grateful for all these people out there resisting like this. So many of us are not safe to and it means everything ❤️
