British actors have voted 99% against digital scanning on set, marking a major escalation in creative industries' fight against AI replication. Meanwhile, new research reveals AI operations in 2025 have already generated emissions equal to New York City's entire output, with water consumption surpassing global bottled water demand. Australia's government backs down from allowing AI companies to mine copyrighted material, while a UK data center faces scrutiny for allegedly understating water usage by 50 times. Plus, OpenAI hires former British Chancellor George Osborne to lead government relations, and Trump Media announces a surprising $6 billion fusion energy merger.
