Progressive lawmakers Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Bernie Sanders are pushing a bold move to pause the construction of AI and hyperscale data centers until Congress passes legislation regulating artificial intelligence.

Their proposed legislation would require that AI systems are safe, benefit workers, and do not drive up electricity prices, effectively tying data center expansion to broader rules around AI governance and energy use.

The effort highlights growing concern over AI’s societal impacts, from labor displacement to environmental strain, and signals a push for stronger federal oversight before further rapid expansion.

Babies born in 2026 are already being called the “Sigma Generation,” following Gen Alpha. The name reflects adaptability and change — fitting for a world shaped by rapid AI growth, digital learning, and evolving lifestyles

Researchers say they’ll see technology as invisible, grow up with AI as a normal part of life, and lean toward individuality and self-expression. For them, AI won’t be new — it’ll just be everyday life

The internet is split after a man claimed most people wear Apple AirPods the wrong way

He shared photos showing the earbuds inserted and slightly twisted so the stem angles toward the face, saying it improves fit and sound

The debate grew when someone asked Grok on X, and it replied that Apple actually suggests inserting and gently rotating the AirPod until it fits snugly

Now people are questioning their habits… have you been wearing them right all along, or doing it wrong too?

In Mason County, Kentucky, 82-year-old farmer Ida Huddleston and her daughter Delsia Bare have turned down a combined $26 million offer from a developer linked to a major tech company that wants to build a massive data center on their land.

The family owns hundreds of acres of farmland near Maysville, where land typically sells for a fraction of what they were offered—making the deal roughly 10x above market value.

Despite promises of jobs and economic growth, they refused. For them, the land is generational—worked by their family for decades and still producing food.

“$26 million doesn’t mean anything… I’ll stay and hold and feed a nation,” Bare said, while Huddleston added simply: “I’m staying put.”

The proposed data center could still move forward using nearby land, but their decision has struck a chord—highlighting a growing tension across rural America as Big Tech expands into farmland and families weigh profit against preservation.
