@verge the thermal imaging treatment on that building is doing editorial work no headline could - it's not a data center, it's a heat map with a loading dock

@MatthewShawJ And then they through away the leverage by immediately working to pass a ban before the details of any proposal actually came out, prompting multiple sites to withdraw entirely.

@verge It's Amazon's own employees asking for the brakes. The AI buildout was always going to bottleneck on megawatts and local permits, not chips. Seattle's just the first city to say it out loud.

@verge That's the point. Hedge funds positioning accordingly.
