AI data center boom could be bad news for other infrastructure projects
Improvements to roads, bridges, and other infrastructure could take a hit as data center construction accelerates.

GPT-5.2 is OpenAI’s strongest model yet for math and science, setting new state-of-the-art results on benchmarks like GPQA Diamond and FrontierMath. This post shows how those gains translate into real research progress, including solving an open theoretical problem and generating reliable mathematical proofs.
Isolation Forest may look technical, but its idea is simple: isolate points using random splits. If a point is isolated quickly, it is an anomaly; if it takes many splits, it is normal. Using the tiny dataset 1, 2, 3, 9, we can see the logic clearly. We build several random trees, measure how many splits each point needs, average the depths, and convert them into anomaly scores. Short depths become scores close to 1, long depths close […]
The CEO of the AI data center provider, which has Nvidia as an investor and a supplier, described the environment as a “violent change” in demand.
The letter demanded companies institute new safeguards to keep users safe from harmful psychological impacts.
OpenAI shipped Sora for Android in 28 days using Codex. AI-assisted planning, translation, and parallel coding workflows helped a nimble team deliver rapid, reliable development.
Let’s say an environmental scientist is studying whether exposure to air pollution is associated with lower birth weights in a particular county. They might train a machine-learning model to estimate the magnitude of this association, since machine-learning methods are especially good at learning complex relationships. Standard machine-learning methods excel at making predictions and sometimes provide uncertainties, like confidence intervals, for these predictions. However, they generally don’t provide estimates or confidence intervals when determining whether two variables are related. […]
This is ChatGPT’s first year as the No. 1 app on the U.S. App Store by downloads.
Most breakthroughs in deep learning — from simple neural networks to large language models — are built upon a principle that is much older than AI itself: decentralization. Instead of relying on a powerful “central planner” coordinating and commanding the behaviors of other components, modern deep-learning-based AI models succeed because many simple units interact locally […] The post Decentralized Computation: The Hidden Principle Behind Deep Learning appeared first on Towards Data Science.
