🦔Turn your sound on for this one. This is what it sounds like to live next to an AI data center, 24 hours a day. In Dowagiac, Michigan, residents sued after a facility run by Hyperscale Data ran around the clock at 78 decibels outside their homes. The company offered to buy their houses rather than fix the noise. One family has lived on that street for nearly a century. My Take This isn't one town with one bad facility. Microsoft faces a class-action in Wisconsin over data center noise residents can hear a mile and a half from the property line. In Virginia, one-third of data centers sit within 200 feet of homes. Noise from thousands of servers can hit 96 decibels, and diesel backup generators reach 105, which is a jet overhead. Residents report headaches, nausea, and sleep problems. Property values near this kind of infrastructure drop up to 20%. The company response in Michigan was to offer to buy the homes rather than quiet the facility, homes that families spent decades in, priced against a corporate buyout. Water in Oregon, wells in Georgia, ratepayer costs in Louisiana, river water in California, and now noise in Michigan and Wisconsin. None of this was in the brochure when these projects got approved. Closed-loop cooling and proper sound barriers exist and would solve most of this, but they cost more, so the companies skip them and the neighbors lose sleep and equity instead. Hedgie🤗

@thedailybeast Hell no. Everything with Trump is way over budget. He can pay for the fiasco himself.

Trouble is that with Trump and Hegseth in charge of military, this may not be far-fetched. PLA scientists propose a plan to destroy US carrier groups from 3,000km away sc.mp/vcu2y?utm_sour… via @SCMPNews

The Bureau of Land Management just approved an AI data center on public land. Never been done before. Not through a real environmental review either. They dug up an old solar farm's approval from 2023 and decided it counted for a completely different project. No new review. No public comment period. No public say at all. The site sits on desert tortoise habitat outside Boulder City, Nevada, three miles from residents' homes. The company behind it is Skylar Capital Management, a Texas hedge fund. Its water will come from the Colorado River Basin. The same river that gives nearly 40 million people across seven states their drinking water. The same river where farmers and ranchers use almost 80 percent of the supply, and it's already so short that farmers this year left fields unplanted and ranchers are shrinking their cattle herds just to survive the season. The same river so overdrawn that seven states have spent months failing to agree on how to split what's left, and this week, the federal government takes that decision out of their hands entirely. The same river where Navajo, Hopi, and Paiute nations have waited 118 years for water they were legally promised back in 1908, while states actively fight to block them from getting it. Now a hedge fund wants a straw in that river too, for a server farm. Who decided an AI data farm needs water more than the 40 million people who depend on the Colorado River? 💧 #DemsUnited
