    To call the unimpeded development of AI data centers anything other than the rape of the natural world is confusing to me.

    Yes, and if the comment I replied to, which started this side conversation, had contained such explicit context I wouldn’t have had a problem with it. But in fact it was a top-level comment that simply said, “That’s called being a rapist everybody,” leaving the meaning of “that” up to the reader. I took it to mean a state governor getting caught callously disregarding the will of her public. You might be preoccupied with AI and datacenters, but I think politicians not doing their jobs is a much larger issue - because if we really had representative government the public would be able to stop datacenters when they wanted to, not to mention handling other important issues.
