We have to understand the right to protest and the first amendment are gone.
The FBI just invented a new domestic extremism category called "anti-tech violent extremism"- and it doesn't exist in any public document.

WIRED got 1000+ leaked pages proving they're already using it to track Al critics and data center protesters.
What the leak exposed: - Photographing a data center is now officially "suspicious behavior" in
Virginia
- Fusion centers are surveilling town halls where residents complain about water
- 61% of Americans believe Al will destroy more jobs than it creates
- Even Marjorie Taylor Greene snapped:
"how dare the peasants complain"

They built a new extremist category for you before they told you it exists.

We would like to give an update on the attorney situation. Unfortunately, we have not been able to find an adjacent property owner (that goes within the guidelines) to sign onto this with us. This was necessary for the retaining of an attorney. The family whom we thought would qualify, unfortunately did not.

If you donated to the cause, feel free to go and pick up your money that you donated (there have been several people). Should something change in the future regarding this matter, we will post an update.

Thank you for your attention to this and for the people willing to donate to the cause in order to try and save our community for this monstrosity.

"Anthropic had already rejected an update to its contract with the Pentagon because it felt the language didn’t adhere to the company’s redlines around the use of AI in mass surveillance and autonomous weapons. The Pentagon blacklisted the company as a result, designating it a supply chain risk."

"Many employees “really respect” Anthropic for standing up to the Pentagon and are frustrated with OpenAI’s handling of their own contract, one current employee told CNN on the condition of anonymity to speak freely."

"After OpenAI published some of the terms of the contract on Saturday, many outside observers immediately questioned how the redlines on autonomous weapons and mass surveillance would actually be upheld, with some saying the language would still allow the safeguards to be disregarded."

"In response, Altman fielded questions publicly over X on Saturday evening and announced on Monday that OpenAI had adjusted its Pentagon contract to more clearly establish guardrails that would prevent OpenAI services from being used in surveillance programs. (Autonomous weapons were not mentioned in the added language he posted online.)"

Messages written in chalk covered the sidewalk outside OpenAI’s San Francisco offices Monday morning: “Where are your redlines?” “You must speak up.” “What are the safeguards?”

Dearborn County update! Another instance where their county counselors listened to their constituents.

"The Dearborn County Commission passed a moratorium on solar farm developments and data centers unanimously at a special meeting that lasted less than 10 minutes on Tuesday."

"We've covered this topic since you told us it was important to you at our 'Let's Talk' event in Lawrenceburg."

We've been covering solar farm development in Dearborn County consistently for more than a month since our "Let's Talk" in Lawrenceburg. Now, the county put a pause on all projects for up to a year.
