When an 82-year-old Kentucky woman was\u00a0offered $26 million<\/a>\u00a0from an AI company that wanted to build a data center on her land, she said no. Sure, that same company can try to rezone\u00a02,000 acres\u00a0nearby anyway, but as AI infrastructure stretches further into the real world,\u00a0the real world is starting to push back.\u00a0<\/p>\n That tension is everywhere this week, from\u00a0OpenAI shutting down its Sora app<\/a>\u00a0to courts finally starting to hold social platforms like Meta accountable<\/a>.
