‘I’ve Never Seen This’: Massive Collapse in Support for #AIDataCenters Captured in New Poll

“If you can think of a cohort of Americans, there’s a good chance they wouldn’t welcome a #datacenter in their area.”

Brad Reed, Aug 20, 2026

"A poll released on Thursday shows a massive collapse in support for building #ArtificialIntelligence #DataCenters among #Republican, #Democratic, and #IndependentVoters.

"The poll, which was conducted by Embold Research and published by Heatmap Pro, shows that 75% of Americans now oppose building AI data centers in their area, including 61% registering strong opposition."

"Just one year before, 42% of Americans said they opposed AI data centers in their areas, compared with 43% who expressed support."

Unsichtbar am Kotti #Berlin

Das Kottbusser Tor wird bald von KI-Kameras überwacht, die ein privates Unternehmen herstellt. Ein Künstler zeigt, wie sich die Technik überlisten lässt……

„Es ist paradox: Für das menschliche Auge ist das Muster extrem auffällig. Aber eine Maschine sieht da nur Kauderwelsch“, sagt Weckert. Der 37-Jährige will mit seiner Arbeit auf die Schwächen moderner Technologien aufmerksam machen. „Ein Überwachungssystem kann durch ein Stück Stoff außer Kraft gesetzt werden. Wie viel Vertrauen sollten wir dann dareinsetzen, bevor wir es auf den öffentlichen Raum loslassen?“

@thomaswilburn Frankly a lot of the videos that I watch lately are sped up. It's actually a bit concerning.

Ouch!

"Trump is fighting a two-front war, one against Iran with an oil reserve at a 44-year low, and one against the country that fills the reserve. The last man who tried a two-front war against people who wouldn’t quit had a bunker in Berlin."

The problem with using LLMs to research information is that this technology generates text, it does not report information.

Generating a map is not the same as finding an accurate map that already exists. Same for any other pieces of information.

And even if it was able to find and report information without modifying it (what a search engine does basically), it cannot evaluate if this information is accurate.

Adjust your level of trust accordingly.

@infobeautiful lovely but

It has the 1154 map upside down and ignored the difference in detail (it has less on Europe)

That is such a good point.

StarFighter might be the closest we have come to the ultimate Linux-first laptop.

In this review, I dive into the hardware, open-source coreboot BIOS, daily usability, fan noise, and internals. While it gets almost everything right, soldered RAM and average battery life hold it back from a flawless score.
