I looked pretty closely at this, and OPB's reporting does stand up. There's a significant water scarcity situation developing in The Dalles, and Google really does seem to be the major driver in the upcoming crisis.
The Dalles city officials issued a public statement criticizing my investigation into data centers, Google and water. My editors and I have poured over every sentence. Here are the facts underpinning that story, and why we stand by it.

MN's AG: “We will not save our country in a courtroom. ... ultimately, this country will be saved by the people of the United States. And so that — you protesting, you gathering evidence, you sharing it with us, you communicating with us — is action. It’s actually how we’re going to win.”

I think we should just shut down the entire concept of generating images using AI. Outlaw it, or as close as you can come to doing so.
I know it's not possible to eliminate it completely, but we definitely can stop companies from scaling it up to "industrial-scale abuse".

@simonwillison.net quick question. Have you seen any tools that allow people to create prompt injections for ethical purposes? A good example is people are getting bombarded with spam emails or messages generated by AI, and they want to be able to identify it and possibly filter it.

In Schindler's List, the little girl in the red coat is the catalyst for Schindler to finally proactively work against the Holocaust. Taking that small child went beyond the pale.
The little girl in the movie looks about the same age as the small child whose picture is going around today.
