The City hosts the companies, capital and culture driving a national backlash against artificial-intelligence data centers, giving us both responsibility and leverage.

Original Reddit post

“In San Francisco, the artificial-intelligence boom still has a remarkably clean public image. It looks like office towers refilling, restaurants getting lunch traffic again, young engineers moving into Mission Bay and city leaders building political careers on the narrative of recovery. Across the rest of the country, it looks very different: Data centers the size of small towns; new substations, diesel generators and gas turbines; water issues; noise complaints; backroom deals; and local residents once again being told that the national interest requires them to absorb the costs. As the global center of AI, San Francisco can no longer pretend these are separate stories.” submitted by /u/Classic-Acadia272
