📈 Political ads turn against data centers

The US Census Bureau's business survey now asks firms whether they use "Super Intelligence," citing voice recognition as an example, with 24.6% of firms saying they use it in early October, up from 17.3% in late November 2025. Only 3% of political ads mentioning data centers in October supported them, while 57% opposed them and the rest took no clear stance. Semiconductor parts accounted for almost half of South Korea's exports in October.
