A covert security camera system was spotted on a telephone pole on SE 67th ave in Portland. The camera is concealed inside of a box that is attached to the top of a telephone pole. The box is designed to look like some kind of electrical equipment. The front of the box has writing that says “Danger” and “High Voltage.” The bottom of the box has a cable running out of it which appears to attach to the electrical service line. There is a rectangular black square in the center of the box and on the sides of the box. Based on similar devices, this is likely a one-way window for the camera to look out of.

A group of six masked people vandalized the Southeast Madison Street office of the coworking space Kiln at about 6:45 pm on Thursday, in full view of diners at nearby restaurants and food carts. Flyers left behind at Kiln’s office suggested Kiln was targeted for hosting an artificial intelligence networking event.

The incident appears to coincide with AI Portland’s Summer Soiree event held last night. The networking event, which began at 6 pm, was organized for AI professionals and fans to nerd out over data and algorithms.

2 Flock cameras were destroyed in so called Eugene OR the other night. Those of us responsible reject the tech bro dystopia that the city of Eugene has decided to sign up for. We refuse to live in a world that looks more like a panopticon than a free society. Cameras that track and store our every move for the ever widening eye of the empire will be brought down no matter how many time the city repairs them. Flock cameras do not protect us they only protect the wealthy and their property who look down on us in the south hills as if they were better than us. They do nothing to stop the abuses we see each day, such as our friends having their only earthly possessions stolen by the city parks department under the approving gaze of the cops. Flock can only be used against us. It was revealed just this week that Flock was used to track down a woman who had a self managed abortion in Texas. The only answer is to smash Flock cameras everywhere and we will do just that.

On Thursday, May 23rd, a thick cloud of putrid black smoke rose over Hillsboro, OR. The smoke was from an early morning fire at one of the massive data centers based in the city. According to local media, the fire originated from batteries inside the Digital Realty (PDX 11) data center. Unfortunately, the flames did not spread to the rest of the data center and the damage was minimal. Firefighters let the fire burn itself out for five hours. The fire caused major disruptions on the web, including big outages to X/Twitter, which was reportedly one of the companies leasing space at the data center. There is currently no public information about the cause of the fire.

Hillsboro, Portland’s Western neighbor, is home to several major data centers that are the engines of digital control and technological domination. Incentivized by tax breaksand lax regulations, Hillsboro (AKA the Silicon Forest) has become an important international hub for the tech industry. Data centers and chip manufacturer like Intel have expanded their footprint there in recent years, and the AI boom is likely to bring in more new construction. This rapid expansion requires hugely increased power supply; the upgrade of existing transmission infrastructure, the installation of new “green” energy facilities in Eastern Oregon, and even proposals to construct nuclear power plants along the Columbia river. Portland General Electric (PGE) planned on clearcutting several acres in Forest Park to make way for new high-voltage pylons. From Against the Silicon Forest: “These power lines are designed to bring power to the Silicon Forest, most notably given the timing of this expansion, to Intel, whose largest operating hub lies just a short distance west of Forest Park.” The project is currently in limbo, awaiting the next action from PGE (PGE can choose to appeal the land use ruling and win approval from the Oregon Land Use Board of Appeals).

A large fire destroyed a 12,000-square-foot single-family home in east Clark County early Sunday morning, fire officials said.

Just after 4:37 a.m., firefighters from East County Fire and Rescue were called out to a construction site on Northeast Livingston Mountain Circle.

The first crews found a fully involved fire at the home, still under construction. Wind from the east caused problems, and one nearby house was threatened as the fire burned vegetation around the two-story home being built.

No injuries were reported, and the cause of the fire is under investigation by the Clark County Fire Marshal’s Office.
