Episode Synopsis
Introduction:
In today’s episode, we dive into the escalating tensions between rural communities and Big Tech as AI data centers spark pushback nationwide, spotlighting Microsoft’s recent defeat in Wisconsin. We’ll uncover how this battle over land use and power infrastructure might reshape the future of tech expansion. Next, we analyze Meta’s potential $70 billion pivot to Google’s custom TPU chips, disrupting Nvidia’s AI chip dominance and what it means for the market’s competitive dynamics. We then explore a pioneering UK research initiative using a supercomputer to study mental fatigue through eye movement, raising questions around cognitive privacy and emerging regulations. Following this, we review Meta’s Ray-Ban smartglasses sales surge in the US and the emerging ‘attentional privacy’ dilemma threatening mainstream adoption. Finally, we examine a high-profile clash between Tesla and European regulators, revealing how safety concerns and grassroots pressure campaigns are influencing Tesla’s ambitions across Europe.
