Big Tech's AI Utopia Is a Lie. Republicans Are Helping Them Take Your Job.
Tech billionaires are telling us that AI will cure cancer, solve world hunger and bring an age of abundance where none of us has to work.
Interior Gave Its State Land Directors Three Days to Find Public Land for Data Centers. The Agency That Would Have to Review Them Has Lost Nearly Half Its Staff.
The Bureau of Land Management asked its state directors to identify public land 'ripe for data center development' and gave them three days. It has shed nearly half its workforce under Trump, one state reported 50% vacancies in the offices that would do the reviews, and the administration is proposing further cuts while telling the bureau to refocus on AI.
Rob Bresnahan Tells Voters That 'to Big Data, We're Just Land and Dollar Signs.' He Holds Up to $2 Million in the Companies That Build Big Data.
Bresnahan's new Scranton-area ad casts him as the man standing between Northeastern Pennsylvania and the data center industry. His August disclosure lists between roughly $804,024 and $2.04 million in the chipmakers and equipment suppliers that industry runs on — and last year he called data centers 'catalysts for economic growth.'
Jon Husted Ran Ohio's Job Training Office and Said Robots Taking People's Jobs Is 'Not a Bad Thing.' Now He's in the Senate Pushing AI and Robotics.
In 2021, as director of Ohio's Governor's Office of Workforce Transformation, Husted told a county chamber of commerce that repetitive jobs 'are going away' and would 'be replaced by robots.' He said he didn't think that was bad, because those jobs weren't 'enriching.'
State of the State: Texas Is 40th Overall. Greg Abbott and Texan Republicans in Congress Aren't Helping.
Texas ranks 40th of 50 on the measures we track, with the second-worst food insecurity and second-worst women's health scores in the country. Greg Abbott signed the abortion ban and the school voucher law, never expanded Medicaid, and now runs on affordability after property tax levies rose to $89.4 billion and home insurance premiums rose 79%. Here is the record, and what each of the seventeen Republicans running for reelection has been busy with.
A Texas Deputy Searched 80,000 Surveillance Cameras for a Woman Who Took an Abortion Pill. Then an AI Wrote Part of the Report About It.
The search was requested by the woman's abusive partner. An AI-drafted passage of the police report notes deputies knew there was no crime to charge her with. Flock's CEO told police customers the family had asked out of concern for her safety. The records say otherwise.
Mike Rounds Pays His Senior Adviser More Than $153,000 a Year. Meta and a Tobacco Giant Were Paying Him Too.
Robert Skjonsberg has worked for Rounds for over a decade and is a registered South Dakota lobbyist for more than a dozen clients, among them Meta and Altria. Senate rules say a staffer at his pay grade may not affiliate with a firm that sells professional services — and he is listed as a co-owner of one.
Joe Lombardo's Ad Attacks Aaron Ford for Voting for Nevada's Biggest Tax Increase. The Man Lombardo Made His Chief of Staff Voted for It Twice.
The 2015 tax package was a Republican governor's bill. Eight Senate Republicans backed it, including Ben Kieckhefer, whom Lombardo later hired to run the governor's office. The same ad attacks Ford over data center tax breaks Lombardo supports.
