Texas Tribune: Texas will audit up to 300 projects, mostly data centers, after Gov. Greg Abbott’s order. “The audit and verification of data centers ordered by Gov. Greg Abbott will involve about 250 to 300 projects, most of which are data centers, state grid operator officials told the Public Utility Commission on Friday.”

So, Hollywood is getting in on the #AI act. Using AI to create art? Where is the "create" bit? Where is the "art" bit?
If the creative, artistic folk are willing to go that far to mine AI gold, then why start an AI film company—a rather senseless endeavour. Just have an online service that uses AI to generate, on the spot, whatever the viewers are in the mood for at the moment they visit the site.🤦♂️

“AI tools are becoming more prevalent in healthcare, helping overworked doctors to carry the workload. But it has come with concerns.
New research by a privacy watchdog has raised serious concerns about AI being used in medical settings due to its propensity to "hallucinate" false symptoms or conditions, and warned patients were at risk.
Ms Green only picked up the mistake after her kidney stone surgery in March, when she read the post-operative letter her specialist sent to her GP.
It stated Ms Green micro-dosed mushrooms and that could be the reason for prior bleeding around the kidneys.
"For this letter to say something that wasn't based in any evidence but could potentially have huge consequences for me … it was quite scary," she said.
"It felt very impersonal to me. I wasn't getting the level of care and familiarity from the doctor that I would be hoping for in such a vulnerable situation."”

Hey lovelies, look at how mad we are making them. This is a sign you’re doing something right/we should continue! I do think it’s incredibly hilarious that they need us to like and use the technology, but we really don’t need them.

AI in classrooms isn’t about convenience, it’s about control, privacy, and accountability. Proprietary software puts schools at the mercy of black-box systems they can’t inspect. My latest piece makes the case for open, auditable alternatives.

“Time is selling ads to AI agents. Perplexity refuses to let them work.
Less than two weeks after Digiday reported that Time had started serving ads inside the markdown versions of its webpages, aimed at AI agents rather than human readers, Perplexity confirmed that it blocked those ads from influencing its own search index.
In an emailed statement to Digiday, Perplexity’s chief communications officer Jesse Dwyer said the company works “continuously” to protect users from deceptive practices, sponsored or not, and warned that publishers who deploy “deceptive advertising like markdown ads” risk a reputational downgrade in Perplexity’s proprietary search index, including a hit to their trust score.
Perplexity did not respond to questions about how the AI company is defining “deceptive” practices or advertising — or how they are logistically blocking Time’s ads.”

COMMENTS
I never thought I would be posting anything about AI, but the past few days I have been assaulted with various topics concerning this subject and thought I should weigh in. First, let me say I am not against AI. I am, however, against AI becoming the norm. Let me try to clarify.
AI is a useful tool when we are looking for information about a particular subject; however, it has always had and will always have limitations.
LOGOS Bible software says AI is: The development of computer systems capable of performing tasks typically requiring human intelligence, such as reasoning and learning. LOGOS also has this disclaimer in microprint: Questions and answers are generated by AI. Always check them for accuracy. These questions and answers are generated by AI and may not be accurate, comprehensive, or relevant . Always use good judgment when relying on AI results.
We discussed AI in this past Sunday’s Adult Bible study and all agreed on the need to proceed with caution, to be Bereans. This was never more evident than in the recent case of a Mississippi professor
The first article below A third of Christians trust spiritual advice from AI as much as [a] pastor (along with the Barna base article) should send danger signs a flashing to all true believers. These results can only mean one of two things vfolks are reaally gullable or their pastors are really terrible. why else would you trust your spiritual growth to a machine? Remember, Ai is devoid of compassion, empathy, reasoning and most importantly a soul.
The articles below are listed in two ways: bold for those that started me on this path, and normal font for others I liked along the way. I hope they will be of service to you and glorify the King of Kings.

10As soon as night had fallen, the brothers sent Paul and Silas away to Berea. On arriving there, they went into the Jewish synagogue. 11
Now the Bereans were more noble-minded than the Thessalonians, for they received the message with great eagerness and examined the Scriptures every day to see if these teachings were true.
12As a result, many of them believed, along with quite a few prominent Greek women and men.…

The Government™ made an ad about "AI" Data Centres, and it’s surprisingly honest and informative 😉
Probably not Suitable for Work especially if "The Boss" is suffering from AI Psychosis.
A health worker union has accused Kaiser Permanente of screening patients and making care recommendations through “a digital, automated algorithm” without clinician oversight — a practice the union says violates state law.

I work in #infosec and consider myself pretty well educated on what’s happening with #AI.
But I’m about 33% of the way through @emilymbender and Alex Hanna’s book, “The AI Con”, and I’ve really learned a lot more.
If you’re skeptical or curious about AI, this is a must-read. I’m recommending it to everyone I know.

One small NC town just proved you can actually beat a $20B project.
Water shortages, spiking electric bills, diesel generators next door, the real cost nobody talks about.
