My take on Project Blue - David W Fitzsimmons


Amazon wants
Amazon wants to build cavernous data centers in the middle of a vast dry desert which is destined for extreme heat and chronic drought thanks to climate change.

Bezos will form a technological bucket brigade to deliver water and his AI data centers will share the water they’ll use with the Los Reales Landfill. And they’ll bring in more jobs than a baseball stadium. And we’ll all get a piece of Mr. and Mrs. Bezos’ Wedding Cake. Or not.

Just ask any Chat GPT. Do not ask Alexa.

The Inevitable
AI and massive data centers are inevitable. Hundreds are planned in America.

Just not here, thank you.

David Fitzsimmons is the legendary internationally syndicated cartoonist and opinion writer from Tucson who spent nearly 40 years scribbling and scratching away in the pages of the Arizona Daily Star until his retirement last year.

He is truly one of the weirdest people we’ve ever had the pleasure to know. And his newsletter — The Dave Fitzsimmons Newsletter/Arizona’s Progressive Voice — is just like talking to him. You’ll love it.
