Remember when CNN reported data centers were causing enormous "heat island" effects based upon a (bogus) non-peer reviewed research paper on March 30?
Well, now published research shows the exact opposite: the reflective roofs of the data centers actually dramatically cool s around the buildings compared to otherwise.

I seriously do not drink enough to cope with the sheer idiocy of this policy.
NEW - The government is planning a more sweeping definition for the u16s social media ban regulations which are set to be agreed by ministers this week.
Under consideration is a ban on UGC and recommender systems, which could catch websites like YouTube Kids and Spotify.

This woman blocked a proposal to turn an abandoned mall's vacant lot into a $5 billion data center. Then, according to NPR, she then went to the county council to request public funds to help fix her grandfather's roof. The council was like, um, well, we don't have as much extra cash as had hoped... thanks a lot by the way...

Minnesota’s new “nudification” law can fine AI companies up to $500,000 per image, even with safeguards in place.
Musk’s challenge to it could decide how far governments can regulate speech by regulating AI, writes Jeff Kosseff in @lawfare.

On this day 84 years ago, the Supreme Court said Congress could regulate the wheat one man grew for himself bc if enough farmers did the same, they wouldn’t buy enough wheat. And thus the Commerce Clause was blown open. #JusticeForRoscoe (outside Filburn’s farmhouse)
Happy Wickard v. Filburn Day to those who celebrate.

The government’s under-16s social media ban won’t just mean Instagram, it’s going to include Lego Play, YouTube Kids and Spotify.
This is mad — it’s the parents who are using these services for education and entertainment for their children.

Imagine having to show your ID to do anything? That’s effectively what age verification regimes do to most activities on the internet. Cato’s @dr_inserra argues that age verification requirements harm kids and adults and sacrifice privacy for all.

It's just adult websites, do you want kids watching porn?
It's just social media, do you want kids being bullied?
It's just ... ebay and depop?
Yeah. Age verification was obviously never going to stop at the "bad" stuff and soon we're all going to be carded to buy used books

I promised more thorough thoughts and while it took me a bit longer than I hoped here's my blog post expanding a bit on Wednesday's twitter thread cato.org/blog/3-things-…
I’m working on a full piece on what the midterms mean for AI policy but here are my 3 quick takes
1) once again we heard fears that this will be the election that somehow AI mis or disinformation disrupts, this once again proved not to be the case

Exactly. Technology changes jobs; it doesn't end work. Professional and business services added 70K jobs in October.
The bigger threat to workers isn't AI. It's policymakers who want to regulate it before it can raise productivity and pay.
Let innovators build and let people prosper.

State policymakers considering pauses and bans on new data centers should give us a call first!
Data center bans would crush economic growth, says Cato's @ts_fisher. A better way to prevent higher utility bills is to make data centers pay the full cost of their electricity infrastructure or allow them to build new, private grids.
