US farmers are rejecting multimillion-dollar datacenter bids for their land: ‘I’m not for sale’

Families are navigating the tough choice between unimaginable riches and the identity that comes with land
www.theguardian.com www.theguardian.com

When two men knocked on Ida Huddleston’s door last May, they carried a contract worth more than $33m in exchange for the Kentucky farm that had fed her family for centuries.

According to Huddleston, the men’s client, an unnamed “Fortune 100 company”, sought her 650 acres (260 hectares) in Mason county for an unspecified industrial development. Finding out any more would require signing a non-disclosure agreement.

So now AI is coming after Big Food.

Oh is it a tobacco farm? Didn't read that far, hah.

I'd still say there's still plenty of undeveloped land in parts of the country that buying up farms doesn't seem necessary. But maybe the farms have the land type they are looking for.
 
The amount of money they are spending on AI is insane. They must have a very major client such as the government that is lined up ready to pay big bucks once they achieve a certain AI goal. They can't be this stupid to keep sinking so much money into this. This is enough money to build multiple large scale 3nm silicon fabs. Right now that seems like it would be an investment that makes more sense than continuing to pour it into AI.

Yup. Imagine the military advantage of having one million Internet-capable satellites covering every inch of the globe:

Musk wants another 1 million satellites – SatNews

Can't say I have a good impression of this guy when he says "Sweden has literally spent billions of dollars to remove screens" and the chyron at the bottom says "Why Sweden is spending €100 million to cut screens in school". So I jumped to 2:24 you referenced. I was then immediately suspicious.

Fact Check: FAKE Video Is One Of A Series Of AI Clips Of Professors Having Meltdowns Over Student Use Of Turbo AI | Lead Stories

Does a real video show a professor screaming at her students that using a product called Turbo AI is cheating,...

Didn't watch the video. I now have 18 years of experience working in a private school with children age 13-17 and AI is definitely a challenge. On one hand we do need to learn how to use the tool correctly, and on the other hand the students need to develop their brains, social skills and critical thinking through education so the can be fully functional citizens in a modern society.

Yeah, I'm not pretending AI in schools is good (presumably it's obvious that's my stance?), I'm just not going to listen to a guy who's talking about AI while misrepresenting data and spreading a faked AI video in his content.

LOL
Manager uses AI to review AI-written code for merging, and there's a bug because no one knows how the function works. Incredibly predictable outcome. I hope it was a disaster for the company and cost them a lot of money.

Meta sues advertisers in Brazil and China over 'celeb bait' scams

Meta has sued the people and groups behind three scam operations that used images and deepfakes of celebrities to lure users to scam websites.
www.engadget.com www.engadget.com

Meta's handling of scammy advertisers has come under increased scrutiny in recent months after Reuters reported that researchers at the company at one point estimated that as much as 10 percent of its ad revenue could be coming from scams and banned products. The fact that Meta has made billions of dollars from problematic advertisers has also caused the company to be slow to take action against repeat offenders.
