Wow:

arxiv.org preprint: "The data heat island effect: quantifying the impact of AI data centers in a warming world".

Excerpt: "We estimate that the land
surface temperature increases by 2°C on average after the start of operations of an AI data centre, inducing local microclimate zones, which we call the data heat island effect."

https://arxiv.org/pdf/2603.20897

"AI data centres can warm surrounding areas by up to 9.1°C. Hundreds of millions of people live close enough to data centres used to power AI to feel warmer average temperatures in their local area."

As was largely obvious, AI tooling isn't making the attackers much better, just faster. Like, significantly faster.

In my online undergraduate P5.js course, students are about to begin the module on motion and physics, including a bit of physics simulation using Matter.js. It suddenly occurred to me that I had never seen anybody put together this particular demo before, and I realized it had to be done. Messy source code at https://editor.p5js.org/isohedral/full/vJa5RiZWs.
