[AI DAILY NEWS RUNDOWN]

Voters just put the brakes on the AI buildout. How hard will they bite? Democrats won both chambers of Congress (AP), voters passed dozens of data-center limits, and Texas, home to 41% of 2028's new capacity, elected a moratorium backer.

• The "AI earthquake": results, ballot measures and $250M in crypto and AI money.
• What changes: Texas, 2028 data-center capacity and state AI laws.
• What doesn't: most 2027 capacity is already being built.
• Search is becoming AI: ChatGPT handles a fifth of Google's query volume.
• The money: enterprise AI spending hits $177B.
• The back door: a fake job interview behind the $6.3B Binance theft.
• Cert Corner: how to run code from a job interview safely. Answer at the end.

🎓 Cert Corner

Question: During a job interview, a software engineer is asked to download and run a code repository as a take-home assignment. What’s the safest way to handle it?

• A) Run it on their work laptop
• B) Run it only in an isolated, disposable environment with no access to company credentials or networks
• C) Scan it with antivirus, then run it anywhere
• D) Ask the recruiter whether it’s safe

Answer: B. Untrusted code belongs where it can’t reach anything valuable. A work laptop holds what attackers want, antivirus misses new malware, and the recruiter may be the attacker. Practice thousands more questions in DjamgaTech.
