What’s big and ugly and has united Republicans and Democrats?

A.I. data centers.

video    The Ezra Klein show    4 August 206

 

An overwhelming majority of Americans say

they’d oppose a data center being built near where they live.

 

In New York,

Gov. Kathy Hochul just imposed a one-year moratorium on data center construction,

and there are over 100 other local or statewide moratorium proposals

across the country.

 

A.I.’s explosive momentum over the last few years seems

to have finally run into a force that could slow it down:

the messy politics of getting things done in the real world.
 

 

So, is that a good thing, or a bad thing?

 

And how much is the data center backlash

about the actual construction of these buildings,

and how much is it about A.I. itself?

 

Jasmine Sun has an excellent newsletter

covering both the culture inside the A.I. companies

and the anger that’s been building against them.

 

And she just finished a reporting trip in the Midwest,

where she interviewed people on all sides of the data center fight.

 

So I wanted to talk to her about what she saw

and what she thinks A.I. companies can learn

from the growing movement against them.

When Betty Dukes signed on

as a check-out counter assistant at Wal-Mart,

the world's biggest supermarket company,

it was for five dollars an hour

and the chance of moving up through the company ranks.

'I thought I'd move forward quickly.

I thought I'd get promoted and get good pay rises,'

she says.

She got neither.

Instead she got the last thing she was looking for:

a starring role in an $8 billion legal battle

that could change the face of corporate America

and earn her a reputation as the new Erin Brockovich.

is leading the biggest civil rights lawsuit in US history
