How about you tell your power-company clients to charge a premium for electricity going to AI slop and give a discount for electricity going to homes, BofA?
No. You’ll pay more and be happy about it. 🦅🦅🦅🇺🇸
In all seriousness tho this has just proven that the US power grid sucks so much ass compared to China, which basically gives it for free to these companies.
Because America built up a lot of great infrastructure in the 50’s and 60’s before hitting a road bump in the 70’s largely due to international relations blunders like Vietnam and supporting Israel. So then neoliberals took power in the 80’s and started to gut all of that infrastructure they inherited in the name of “profitability”.
BofA deez nuts.
My first thought, I’m glad I’m not the only cultured one
Corporate greed is making utility bills more expensive. It would be happening with or without AI.
Maybe AI is starting to be more and more of a massive carbon footprint.
Who cares as long as it manages to make a barely plausible summary, at worst, we move on to Earth #2! /$
But at least we’re fighting global warming.
Yeah, fighting on the side of climate change. And winning.
Always have been.
That’s why a lot of those data centers buy electricity from coal plants these days.
