Sooooo ...
Does this election impact data center developments in NJ? Nope.
Virginia? Nope
West Virginia? Nope.
Pennsylvania? Nope.
Georgia? Nope - the big OpenAI one was approved in August.
Texas? Guess what happens next month, folks? Oh, the current data center moratorium EXPIRES.
New York? Guess what happens in July 2027? Oh, the current moratorium on data centers expires.
Florida - Edgewater voted against data center development .. of which there isn't any happening anyway.
Kansas? El Dorado voted to ban massive projects but guess how many massive projects are going on there? NONE Emporia? Also voted against data centers ... of which none are being built (one was abandoned already). Ottawa KS? Oh they banned "utility-intensive" data centers. Guess how many are being built in Ottawa? NONE
Maine? Berwick banned large projects of which there are NONE. Peru, Wiscasset and Wells implemented 180 day moratoriums on projects that also don't exist.
Missouri? The towns of Chouteau, Granite City voted against data centers ... guess how many are being built/proposed there? ZERO
Illinois? The towns of Nameoki and Venice did the same thing. As for projects impacted? ZIPPO
Colorado? Boulder voted against data centers. Take a guess how many applications for data centers are in process there? Did you guess ZERO?
North Dakota? Uh, the people of Mandan actually voted in FAVOR of a data center and natural gas generation campus is in the planning stages by Stark Power.
Ohio appears to be the only state where meaningful projects may be impacted. Maybe.
People litterally voted against ghosts yesterday.

Idris Elba is backing a $1 million
AI filmmaking program.
Free training, mentorship,
and funding opportunities.
This is what democratizing
filmmaking looks like.

Steel Force is a sci-fi horror comic book. A squad of space marine must go to an unexplored planet to save a research team from a horde of aliens. If you like GI Joe or the Alien franchise take a look. Xenomorphs globalcomix.com/read/ddd2e2c…

Perfect month to check out my comic book Blades in the Night on Globalcomix.
A slasher stalks the woods, a superhero on the search for others like himself. They're on a collision course with one another. globalcomix.com/read/0a712d2…

Labeling it is inherently a scarlet letter. It implies theres something intrinsically wrong with AI and there isnt. Its amazing tech

VALVE ALREADY updated the AI Disclosure since my/Tim’s first X incident late 2025, changed it to not require disclosure for AI coding assistance. We take that W.
Valve NOT caring about coding agents is TOO nuanced for all of the “devs” that were baited by Epic’s “vibe coding” tweet apparently
CLEALY the next step is the all together remove it for art, music, voice overs etc. Every major game engine, DCC, platform will have native generative AI creation tools built into them, disclosure is pointless and harmful to devs and artists
Generative AI is a HUMAN creation and games made with generative AI are HUMAN MADE 🦅

Where are the artists who use AI?!
AI artists, assemble!
Show me your AI gemmies

Correct. I knew the whole "water usage" and "intellectual property" arguments were bullshit early on. In reality, people don't want to have to compete with a.i. Because 99% of them can't. But nobody except them cares. Nobody cared about Mexicans doing my fathers job cheaper than he could. Nobody cares about a.i. doing an artist's job cheaper than they can. Every other person stands to benefit from this replacement. So this cannot be the primary argument an angry artist uses. Because it has no persuasion value.

Unfortunately, for many, the art isn't what actually matters. It's the ego boost they get to associate with being an artist. And hiding behind the "I just love the process" argument is an egoist's way of othering processes and workflows they are unwilling to wrap their head around. So they choose to see those who use AI as lazy, instead of accepting that they themselves are shuttering themselves from undertaking larger projects with these same tools. Every single person now has the option to be more ambitious, even if they only have access to an open weight model. But when confronted with this reality that they might not be as creative as their ego's standards indicate, many choose to wish it all burnt down.

This is bullshit, Kenney. I’m the same tech tree following optimist who moved from C to C++, from 2D to 3D, and from closed source to open source. I run a company. I write code. I contribute to published papers. I’ve upped my expectations of AI. Up yours!

A gentle reminder!
Coming to theaters Dec 4th.
And if you’d like to help spread the lore and help it expand to more theaters (worldwide), join the ambassador program (and receive rewards for your valiant efforts)!
