“Their mode of operation prior to AI was that for them to get an industrial project of any kind, they had to offer incentives to attract the companies to come. … Why are we paying them to come when they're so desperate to build in places that are five times bigger than us? So they're literally making that switch in their brain right now. … We have all the leverage. We're not giving you a dime. You got to pay us to do this and do that.”

Yeah, I think there are actually two interesting mismatches in that dynamic. One is, of course, the big tech just needs to fork up, right? These numbers are literally the rounding error of the rounding error of the entire size of the project they're trying to build here. When it's sweet, how little, yeah, it's like having like two racks of GPU worth of money that could be improving local communities in a very tangible way. Now, I would also say a lot of the local communities, a lot of the cities that are city councils who hold the power, they've been blindsided by this dynamic too. So I got the chance to actually interact with a lot of local city council people because of my dashboard. People like start emailing me, be like, hey, did you get this moratorium? Make sure you include this one in your next dashboard. And I get to like talk to them a little and activists too, which is that, you know, their mode of operation prior to AI was that for them to get an industrial project of any kind, they had to offer incentives to attract the companies to come, right? That is their mode of operation for eternity. So their first reaction is always, okay, please come to us. We're this little town, Wisconsin. We'll give you tax…
