This is so terrible on so many levels. The medical symptoms these folks experienced as a result of living near a Bitcoin mining facility will be experienced by more and more people as data centers dedicated to AI applications proliferate across the US. Generative AI systems such as #ChatGPT and #StableDiffusion run on the same sort of hardware as Bitcoin mining and the workloads have similar noise profiles.

We are running headlong into a tragedy by widely deploying #AI without careful scrutiny and regulation.
> 40 people in the Granbury area who reported a medical ailment that they believe is connected to the arrival of the Bitcoin mine: hypertension, heart palpitations, chest pain, vertigo, tinnitus, migraines, panic attacks. At least 10 people went to urgent care or the emergency room with these symptoms.

> There is an increasing body of scientific studies linking prolonged exposure to noise pollution with cardiovascular damage.
