Hostile AI, Tech Tax Windfall, CEO Churn & Who Pays for Data Center Power

AI is acting up, Big Tech is cashing in, and the human systems are straining. We cover hostile AI, deepfakes, privacy, tax breaks and century bonds, Gen Z cognition, CEO churn, defense pressure, and the fight over data center power costs.
