Every since AI company's destructive scanning initiatives were reported, there has been endless wailing and gnashing of teeth over it, mostly from bibliophiles who bemoan the destruction of rare tomes.  My social media feeds have blown up with screeching about how the fruit of human knowledge is being tossed into the AI incinerator, countless generations will be deprived of these priceless tomes, soon libraries will be empty, etc. Let's take a deep breath.

Like you, I saw a news article last week about Oracle something something Wisconsin something something billions of dollars and moved on to the next headline.  OK, so a regulator is mad at Oracle because the locals are mad about datacenters jacking up their electricity rates.  Yet another story in a long line of such stories, and eventually either the people (long shot) or the lobbyists (where I'd put my money) will win. But this story is much more significant.
