This is bad news for everyday workers and communities, as AI keeps replacing jobs and getting built in places people don't want it, even as Washington keeps pushing it forward.

A new poll found most voters don't want an AI data center anywhere near their home, while only a small number support one. Trump is pushing a huge AI buildout anyway, telling supporters the boom will make them rich.

At the same time, AI-powered hacking attacks are surging, with security researchers warning of a wave of attacks exploiting old website software that's expected to keep getting worse.

Jobs are already being automated out from under workers. Companies are using employees' own voices to train AI replacements, and some workers are agreeing to it without realizing they're training their own replacement.

Cultural institutions are feeling the squeeze too. A major science museum in Philadelphia closed for good, continuing a trend of museums and public resources losing funding while tech money pours into AI and data centers instead.

Outlook: Expect the AI buildout to keep moving forward despite public resistance, with more job losses and a rising wave of AI-related cyberattacks in the near term.
