Montana’s new slogan. No restriction on AI. Come here and ruin our state with data centers.
This is how I read it. Their slanted court and legislature will determine access goes both ways and force the centers into their communities. Funny how they are putting them as far north with access to water sources.
Let's hope that whole "Ultra-Volcano" underneath them doesn't turn out to be true.
That's Wyoming - Yellowstone. Though given it's size, I suppose it could also be there.
Yes, and...

This is such an insane map because a meter of ash is not that much when compared to other volcanoes, let alone a supervolcano. At the center would be dozens of meters of ash. Vesuvius in 70ad poured 60 feet of ash and debris onto Herculaneum and 40 onto Pompeii. Granted that was a pretty big eruption. But still, compared to fucking Yellowstone??
A shame because even after years of environmental abuse, the Montana we have now is still beautiful and could still be preserved.
Swap our rivers for cracked mud and pools of battery acid. Burn the earth for a crack-addled chatbot... or turn off your phone and go for a beautiful hike outside of Bozeman, MT? I know which one I would pick.
Of all the states it's a great pick. Cold weather much of the year to help cool systems naturally.
