Microsoft-backed AI data center has been accused of violating federal law

Engadget

The largest planned AI data center in New Jersey has been accused of violating federal law after an investigation found the site running dozens of gas-powered generators without a permit, according to Floodlight and The Guardian. Thermal drone footage showed the partly-finished DataOne facility was operating at least 45 of the site's 62 generators simultaneously. The facility allegedly doesn't have permits for any of them. We flew a thermal drone over one of the largest data centers planned on the East Coast. What we found: 60 unpermitted generators, tractor-trailer-sized, burning a mile from two schools.https://t.co/iuGazzdnSM

Plus: A judge has blocked the Pentagon's blacklisting of Anthropic. A startup claims it's found a drug to make your blood young I knew I'd officially become a "longevity influencer" when a company called Generation Lab offered me the chance to write about--and even receive--their new rejuvenation treatment. A company fact sheet says that it "blocks the systemic spread of aging in the bloodstream, reawakens the body's own repair mechanism and restores health and youth to multiple tissues." The approach is based on research by Generation Lab's irascible scientific founder, Irina Conboy. She found that joining the circulatory systems of old and young mice improved the old animals' ability to heal from injury. Conboy now says she has found a combination of two existing drugs that can produce youthful effects without the need for any bodily fluid exchange.

When you purchase through links in our articles, we may earn a small commission. Who knew the peach emoji could be so powerful? In a past life there was a PCWorld print magazine, and I wrote a monthly column for it. The column was called "Privacy Watch" and it was all about tools and tips you could use to safeguard your PC against hackers and snoops. Every month I'd do my best to help readers with everything from building stronger passwords (or just adopting a good password manager) to securing their Wi-Fi network, and I had a blast doing it.

Since early 2023, photographer Jingna Zhang and a small crew of volunteers have worked tirelessly to maintain an image-sharing social media and portfolio app called Cara . So far, it has attracted about 1.5 million artists. What drew them to the platform? A shared opposition to the unauthorized use of their work to train AI models and a desire to publicize their art while avoiding exploitation by Big Tech.


I Asked 100 Companies for My Data. I Got Deletion Notices Instead

WIRED

I Asked 100 Companies for My Data. California residents have a legal right to access the data that companies collect about them. Actually exercising that right is a burdensome nightmare. I filed a request with McDonald's earlier this month to access all of the personal data the fast food company collected about me, and I received a stunning 515-page report a few days later that detailed my app interactions in granular detail and predicted I would never stop eating there. Under the California Consumer Privacy Act, I have the legal right to request access to information from large companies that collect personal data.
