University of Michigan and Los Alamos National Lab are working together to build a $1.25M computing facility. Prof Joy Rohde argues that it poses grave intellectual, institutional, and ethical challenges, based on the history of similar partnerships since World War II. #umich #scipolicy #techpolicy

SCOOP: A pro-AI dark money group backed by a powerful super PAC funded by execs tied to Palantir and OpenAI, has been secretly paying influencers to push pro-AI, anti-China propaganda on TikTok and IG.

Reportback: we successfully scared off the execs! No ground breaking ceremony was had! Instead folks gathered in the park and enjoyed the wildlife, 50 burritos, and each others company. No AI nukes in our town!!

Wonder why AI heads want a data center here to help with nuclear weapon research 🙄. Especially in light of the trump admin's latest actions we have to remain clear eyed about the connections btwn imperialism, immigration, and information technology. NO MORE WAR, NO MORE DEPORTATIONS, NO MORE DATA!

Thank you @aljazeera.com for the wonderful graphics showing the excess of AI spending visually. Also interesting is that the US is spending 471 billion, roughly 4 times as much as China, in second place at 119 billion.
Graphic showing 1 billion dollars takes up 2 by 2 by 5 meters in hundred dollar billsGraphic showing different investments.
ISS: 150 billion
Apollo: 250 billion
Original interstate construction: 620 billion
Total AI investment: 1.6 trillionThe US is spending more than the rest of the world combined on AI.Ai spending is forecasted at 2.5 trillion in 2026.

Abolish ICE, defund the police, UM out of Ypsi, US out of everywhere!!!


The people willing to destroy our town with an AI War research center are the same people willing to extrajudicially shoot protestors or lay siege to one of our neighbors for 30+ hours as he suffers a mental health crisis. If we want to beat this data center, we must love one another enough to be against state, imperialist ,and genocidal violence of all kinds, and find any way to resist it we can!!

Embarrassing takes from State senator Jeff Irwin. "Uhh other bad things are happening so we should worry about $1.2billion of nuclear warfare in our backyard." LANL is literally calling this "the new Manhattan Project" It's a big deal and bad news for our community and communities all over the world

The UM/Los Alamos data center in Ypsilanti will most likely be used to continue these forever wars. We have to assume it will due to the classified nature of the that facility. Opposition to the data center in your district is opposition to unchecked militarism.
