CNN —An Arizona man was arrested Monday after allegedly threatening to kill President-elect Donald Trump in a series of Facebook videos, including one in which he appears to hold up an AR-15-style rifle, according to court documents. Court documents did not directly identify Trump, only referring to him as “Individual 1.” Court documents identify “Individual 1” as a public figure, former president and the current president-elect. Last Thursday, according to court documents, Tamayo-Torres said in a video posted on Facebook, “[Individual 1] you’re gonna die, [Individual 1], your son’s gonna die. Tamayo-Torres posted a video on August 23 from Desert Diamond Arena in Glendale, Arizona, where Trump held an afternoon rally. During the rally, Trump said he will create an independent commission to investigate assassination attempts while mentioning the attempt to assassinate him at a July 13 rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.

☆ Data centers powering artificial intelligence could use more electricity than entire cities

The power needs of artificial intelligence and cloud computing are growing so large that individual data center campuses could soon use more electricity than some cities, and even entire U.S. states, according to companies developing the facilities. Now, with the advent of artificial intelligence, data centers are growing so large that finding enough power to drive them and enough suitable land to house them will become increasingly difficult, the developers say. Technology companies are in a "race of a lifetime to global dominance" in artificial intelligence, said Ali Fenn, president of Lancium, a company that secures land and power for data centers in Texas. Beyond VirginiaAs land and power grow more limited, data centers are expanding into new markets outside the long-established global hub in northern Virginia, Sahlstrom said. The privately-held company is working with utilities to secure up to 1.8 gigawatts of power for the site to support as many as 40 individual data centers.
