Resisting the construction of datacenters for pretend intelligence is not mere nimbyism. They are the only aspect of pretend intelligence that people have a chance to oppose. *In the words of the antitrust expert Zephyr Teachout: "If you want democratic governance of AI [sic], block datacenters. Google's not coming to any democratic table, not listening to any rules, without people showing force."* I see one other point where we can resist — by refusing to call it "intelligence".
