And you thought assembling Ikea furniture was hard!

People worry about the paperclip problem - what if an AI takes an innocuous directive as an excuse to destroy humanity?

(Or a megalomaniac wannabe king of the USA does the same thing out of spite).

It's not always about the big views. Here's the aftermath of a rainy morning in my own backyard.

AI Data Center Spending to Reach $32 Trillion by 2050, PwC Says
