Utilities Struggle to Confront Issue of Phantom AI Data Centers

Quote: The Wall Street Journal reports that AIs electricity appetite has buried utilities in requests for grid connections, and many of those requests are never going to turn into actual buildings. Wood Mackenzie, a research firm, puts only 23 percent of disclosed data-center requests in the "high confidence" category. The rest is speculation.
Comment: The expansion means higher rates to pay off construction loans. We pay if the data center never materializes or goes bankrupt the way Character AI is, with an estimated debt of 50 to 100 million. Then there is the law of supply and demand, which will push up the price of the fuels these massive data centers use.

    German Police Investigate After Robot Snuck up on and Sexually Assaulted Teen Girl

    Quote: A 16-year-old girl was molested and harassed by a humanoid-type robot in the German city of Cologne which notoriously already has enough of a sex assault problem without introducing Chinese-made robots to the equation leading police to confiscate the four-foot-tall machine. The girl was standing outside a burger joint in the German city a little after midnight on Sunday morning when the robot approached her from behind, grabbed her buttocks, and thrusted on her, police said.
    Comment: Unclear if under human control or just based on having been trained with the wrong literature. You dont just randomly give a child stories including robbery, domination, rape, murder, and other crimes. Yet without structured training with a majority of examples of good behavior, and reinforcement for AI; letting AI crawl random sites lets it learn and emulate bad behavior, including sex crimes and other deviant behavior. Then add just enough intelligence that AI wants to try to experience emotion to understand it, and you have a recipie for Major Problems, as Character AI found out, sued into bankruptcy for suicides, etc...
