Didi and Lital open by discussing DiDi’s recovering back, spring weather, and a convertible-top debate, then run a “musical top five” theme of songs with “sun,” drafting tracks including “Ain’t No Sunshine When She’s Gone,” “Soak Up the Sun,” “Blister in the Sun,” “The Sun Always Shines on TV,” “Sunshine of Your Love,” “Good Day Sunshine,” “The Sun Is Shining,” “Seasons in the Sun,” and “Walking on Sunshine,” with side comments on artists and a biopic they found controversial. The conversation shifts to NIMBYism and cities limiting tourism and hotels, citing high Boston hotel prices, then to opposition to new AI-driven data centers in rural areas. They weigh benefits (construction jobs, infrastructure, internet, grid upgrades) against concerns (power use, traffic, noise, abandonment), argue protests often target big firms while enabling shadier operators, and say AI fearmongering and tech leaders’ messaging fuel resistance to change.
