What’s big and ugly and has united Republicans and Democrats?

A.I. data centers.

video    The Ezra Klein show    NYT    4 August 2006

 

An overwhelming majority of Americans say

they’d oppose a data center being built near where they live.

 

In New York,

Gov. Kathy Hochul just imposed a one-year moratorium on data center construction,

and there are over 100 other local or statewide moratorium proposals

across the country.

 

A.I.’s explosive momentum over the last few years seems

to have finally run into a force that could slow it down:

the messy politics of getting things done in the real world.
 

 

So, is that a good thing, or a bad thing?

 

And how much is the data center backlash

about the actual construction of these buildings,

and how much is it about A.I. itself?

 

Jasmine Sun has an excellent newsletter

covering both the culture inside the A.I. companies

and the anger that’s been building against them.

 

And she just finished a reporting trip in the Midwest,

where she interviewed people on all sides of the data center fight.

 

So I wanted to talk to her about what she saw

and what she thinks A.I. companies can learn

from the growing movement against them.

Anthropic's CEO: ‘We Don’t Know if the Models Are Conscious’

video    Interesting Times with Ross Douthat    NYT    12 February 2026

 

A.I. is evolving fast, and humanity is falling behind.

 

Dario Amodei, the chief executive of Anthropic,

has warned about the potential benefits — and real dangers —

linked to the speed of that progress.

 

As one of the lords of this technology,

is he on the side of the human race?
