    All these Epstein billionaires can fuck all the way off. Zero responsibility and accountability. Data centers are basically just poison for people, nature and the economy. Time to get a good old pitchfork and round them up for a French revolution. Just as a metaphor, of course…

      Literally. Including fan favorite AI Company, Anthropic:

      I live about 18 miles downwind of the new Colossus sites, the airport, and lots of truck logistics sites, and a large refinery.

      I definitely will be getting 2x exposure to ozone and particulates from both Colossi when they are running full bore. Plus an extra dose of ultrafine particulate with my morning fresh air.

      Airplanes by virtue of their mode of operation stay out of the unhappy regime most of the time. Also, engines at/near idle produde orders of magnitude less emissions. Those aeroderivative generators are running at full capacity 24/7.

      Dumping exhaust at ground level continuously is probably much worse than the airport. Even if it’s a FedEx world hub.
