DATA CENTERS' DATE : CONTROL CONVERSE PRECIS

' Worry And Fury ' : A state-owned newspaper in China recently published a satellite image of a data center in Gainesville, Va., writing in English that the development of artificial intelligence posed a threat to Americans' physical and financial well-being.

A comic strip made to look as if it had been published by a Marland news outlet - created with OpenAI's  ChatGPT by people in China, the tech company said - circulated on X this year, blaming data centers for soaring electricity bills. It showed a tycoon smoking a cigar clutching a bag of cash.

A video shared on X by a known covert Russian influence operation questioned the viability of a data center that an American company, Firebird, is constructing in Armenia, the small caucasus nation that has been a focus of Kremlin pressure.

'' The country's electrical grid instability may render it useless,'' the video narrator said.
