  AI software mistakes high school student's bag of chips for a weapon
  
  from https://www.facebook.com/khireewbal
  
  Taki Allen was sitting outside Kenwood High School with friends, eating a bag of chips after football practice on Monday. Around 20 minutes later, cops showed up with guns, walking toward Allen. "They made me get on my knees, put my hands behind my back and cuff me. Then, they searched me and they figured out I had nothing," said Taki Allen. "Then, they went over to where I was standing and found a bag of chips on the floor."

    Data centers turn to commercial aircraft jet engines bolted onto trailers as AI power crunch bites — cast-off turbines generate up to 48 MW of electricity apiece
    
    With AI buildouts outpacing the grid, data centers are rolling in jet-powered turbines to keep their clusters online.

  @regehr @whitequark if anyone is left to write history about this period then it's going to be simultaneously grim and so very stupid

  I have resolved that I won't drink any more.
  However, I also won't drink any less.
