  Demand for AI is driving the derivative of demand to go up, breaking forecasts.

  I wonder how much money will spill over from AI investment into the power plants needed to support them. they're not going to stop a data center from coming online because there's no power for it, they're just going to build power for it.

  Will we see as much outrage about this as Bitcoin has received about its supposed energy use?

  Maybe having solar panel tarrifs at 400% isn't a good idea after all
