New essay. A little off topic for me! “The Fences Were There for a Reason”. I spent my career building data centers inside the rules. Now the rules are being cut & the anger is landing on the tool instead of the fire. Receipts, dates & one planning commission that told us no. #AI #DataCenters

He scrubbed the green off his jacket until the napkin tore. The stain stayed. He'd seen colleagues burned for less; one clean detail to anchor suspicion. The face had to match the story. #WIPSnips #FacultyOfMatter #dreampunk #cyberpunk
