      Thanks. Kinda ugly that she’s implying that Oracle should make another one near some other sleepy town with relatively inexpensive power.

      Fuck this data center moment generally, but where is source of lead image/headline, OP? This is the only quote from her in your article?

      “I will only ever open Michigan to companies that respect our strict environmental standards and protect our air, land and water, the Barn meets all those high standards,” Whitmer said. “Here in Michigan, we are setting an example for the rest of the nation, the rest of the world, for that matter. We have the right guardrails to ensure responsible adoption of AI and create jobs.”

        Like Clinton said, “You need both a public and a private position” to navigate political negotiations and deal-making. Talk populous to the public and do it regardless of public demand is the modus operandi

          You are tge one who introduces false premises without credible support and then you are here arguing them as if confirmed in your own unsubstantiated thread days later? You’re a mess, friend.

        Wanted a source, myself, so I went digging. Found a video here (sorry to have to link to X, even if via xcancel, but it’s what I’ve got).

        Obviously this is a fairly brief snippet, but with the context of this being her talking to the CEO of Oracle at a data center groundbreaking event, it’s hard to imagine this not being exactly what it looks like.

          Appreciate the caveats, but in the age of AI fabrication like breathing, if the only source is a nazi twitter post, makes a lot of sense to wait for the larger context. Whitmer hasn’t really shown this in her character, so we will see.

          Doesn’t hurt that OP has a pretty fraught post history on top. Some good philosophy mixed in, but someone who is definitely lost in middle of it all.

            I feel weirdly like the very noisy audio quality makes this video less likely to be AI, because that’s not really the sort of thing it’s going to have been trained for, but I definitely respect your reservations here. Would like to see more reliable info about this as well.
