Okay so I'm making this post because I'm just not going to allow a data center to be squeezed between the first people of the Tonawanda Reservation and the Iroquois National Wildlife Refuge without ATTEMPTING to wake our community up for what we've apparently signed up for as a state. I don't think *anyone* can point to a larger nature preserve in Western NY than Iroquois. If you are unaware of what an ecologically biodiverse location this is you are now informed. Lowland swampy areas like Iroquois holds a much higher level of biodiversity than nearly any other type of landscape and the STAMP Data center is literally being built across the street.

There's a lot of disparate sources out there that I just keep learning more and more about how detrimental this is for Western NY. My position is this: data centers are fine if they're being built next to garbage dumps and hazardous waste sites. But across the street from a nature preserve and next to a home for native people is destructive at best. If I'm missing any information PLEASE add it in the comments (and source it if possible) but more importantly if you know anyone who can actually DO something about this who actually CARES about WNY and has connections to state and local leadership, please share this with them!

The data center is going to make all neighboring energy rates go up. There is also a potential for a 3 year moratorium on it sitting in committee from State Senator Liz Krueger

The impact on the area will be almost entirely negative costing $19B with over $1B in tax incentives and barely any job growth

It's being built by a best friend of Jeffrey Epstein. Automatic disqualification for Western NY, sorry, we don't play that garbage

But take a look at the impact on data centers built in Georgia and Wisconsin! Drinking water ruined, high levels of heavy metals, specifically aluminum, unusual water drainage in local water areas! NO EXPLANATION WHY.

Here is what it sounds like! Next to a wildlife refuge!

Think of how this will impact Western NY's most pristine natural environment! This is Lee Zeldin's EPA and Kathy Hochul's blessing, ready to sell out the greatest natural treasure in her own local region.

What else am I missing! Add it! Share this! Update us on the moratorium. Please tell me that we care enough to stop this still. Let's eat the cost of what's already built and stop the rest.

So I am building an AI agent on my own device using n8n. I've used multiple AIs to help me build it and I have a Postgres short term memory working great and so I've been working on a long term memory using NocoDB (all data is being inputted accurately into the table) and I've built a tool to go in and find information from it, which the AI agent does do and it *can* retrieve information from it.

However, there are some serious problems when trying to access it. I've used both qwen3:30b-a3b-q4_k_m and minstral-small and have run into similar issues. This is a completely new build so I'm open to suggestions. Here are the issues:

The llm is having a hard time "accepting" it as a long term memory and would prefer to hallucinate answers rather than use the tool. What are the best instructions to put in the "Description" of the AI Agent to help the llm. Anything AI support has given me hasn't felt very helpful with this.
The much bigger issue I'm having is when the llm does use the "recall tool" to retrieve information from the NocoDB table it comes back with information I either wasn't asking for or it can't find it or it's just bad quality. The AI supports all point to the "Filter by Formula" field and this is where things get totally nutty. I will provide screenshot after screenshot to multiple AIs and they'll all give me different scripts to put in there and almost none of them work and the few they actually provide that do work the llm will often search it and say they can't find the information or come back with low quality answers. When I provide these screenshots to the AI support they make it seem like it's the llm which is why I tried both qwen and minstral with similar issues. Of course I've also tried "let the model define the parameter" but that seems like the worst responses yet.

Any advice or pointing me in the right direction on this I would be super appreciative. The AI supports have spun me in circles for hours on this and I just feel like after everything else it helped me set up this really shouldn't be the thing holding me back.
