    I'd be really hesitant with Benn's videos here. I think Andy Masley has a pretty solid piece describing how they are likely incorrect and possibly even deceptive. There's enough reasons to hate data center expansions and AI that I don't think it's particularly helpful to promote ideas like infrasound majorly affecting our health, as I'd think it dilutes some otherwise important arguments with things that are factually dubious.
