  "account": "Seth Meyers and Sal Gentile, writers for \"Late Night\" and \"A Closer Look,\" respectively, criticized President Trump's call for people to \"let data reign\" and embrace AI data centers. The duo mocked Trump's suggestion, as it sounded eerily similar to the villainous cries of a James Bond or Sandra Bullock movie villain. Meyers joked that Trump might have said something similar in one of Pierce Brosnan's \"James Bond\" films, putting on a menacing voice to emphasize the point. The writers argued that Trump's encouragement of data centers, despite their environmental and social impacts, is reminiscent of a villain from a '90s sci-fi movie.",
