To answer your question: Texas. Running on a platform of clean energy is political suicide in half of America, particularly in the south.
Counterpoint: you're wrong https://texas2036.org/news-analysis/gale-force-growth-texas-...
pittsburgh has many old power plants that are perfect for data center converts when i go home and hear about this i'm conflicted. it brings short term economic prosperity. what's the cost if there's no commitment to clean energy in reality the developers on these projects will do whatever it takes to simply get the project done
People have legitimate complaints when they are built within audible distance of housing.

You think the folks who are successfully organizing against datacenters can’t use the same techniques and support networks to do the same thing against other nuisance uses?
Not really - China doesn't care about other nuisance issues. Look at how the TikTok kids (who went nuts for the Palestinians) don't give a crud about the Cubans.
Anyway, here's actual evidence of elected officials contradicting your anecdotal narrative:

Yeah if they were so committed to doing good, you'd think the billions of dollars they have spent would bear some evidence of that by now.
They must be "effective" "altruists". The only way to do good is to first do all the bad and consolidate power, so you can then use all that power to do good, pinkie promise!

Empathy is not a Chinese psyop. Anyway, here's actual evidence of elected officials contradicting your anecdotal narrative: https://apnews.com/article/cuba-embargo-congress-pocan-leger...
I'm not saying empathy is a Chinese psyop. The empathy is real. But empathy requires awareness - and awareness IS controlled by the algorithm.
How much does OpenAI actually control the way the data centers are built and deployed? I don’t know much about the impact of their data centers compared to others, but there weren’t many (if any) concrete commitments in this letter. The promises all seem like areas that even an evil corporation could pay lip service to.

So where are the street protests for Cuba then? I marched for Gaza three times. I haven't seen a single one for Cuba. I'm not saying empathy is a Chinese psyop. The empathy is real. But empathy requires awareness - and awareness IS controlled by the algorithm.

I noticed the same thing about effective altruism. Its fans are really good at convincing themselves the most self-serving action amd goals are noble pursuits.
If Virginia or Louisiana should profit by this then so be it. Californian land-use laws will have a net effect of -8 house seats against Texas. That is good. It should happen. If Texans will be poorer so Virginians will be richer, that is also good. May the American federal system reign forever. Allowing for states as experiments and letting them suffer their consequences is good. It is a machine for us to iterate on…
