Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin defended movements opposing rapid expansion of large AI data centers, suggesting that algorithmic improvements could reduce future computing needs. He argued that slower construction of data centers would allow society more time to address cybersecurity and biological risks linked to AI, without significantly delaying technological progress. Meanwhile, Bitcoin mining firms like Riot Platforms and Cipher Digital are expanding into AI infrastructure, signing multibillion-dollar leases in Texas. However, Texas faces political pushback with proposed moratoriums on new data centers due to concerns over electricity and water usage, highlighting a tension between tech growth and community impact.
