Don't be a sheeple on the AI CONundrum

Don't be a sheeple on the AI CONundrum
Datacenters are big ugly, loud, power sucking industrial sites. Look closely at the size of cars and trucks in this picture to get a sense of the scale. By Tedder - Own work, CC BY 4.0, https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?curid=173551144

Dear Representative:

  1. Many of the claims about large language model AI industry are unproven and the business case is weak. Experts have grave doubts about its viability. Be prudent.
  2. Protect States' rights to regulate AI to serve their citizens and consistent with our founders federalist design.
  3. Don't offer excessive tax incentives for data center development because job generation claims will be overstated.
  4. Make data center developers pay full costs for increased electric generation, transmission, and distribution. Ensure they protect and compensate for the water supplies.
  5. Force the concentration of these data centers in discrete State established development zones planned on a regional basis.
  6. Make it illegal for tech companies to subvert sunshine laws through use of aggressive non-disclosures with government officials.

Sincerely,

John
