  I love subsidizing these jackoff’s energy bills in my own power bill /s. 17c/kwh for me, 3c/kwh for Bezos…

    If that’s the case there is likely a demand component to the bill. You don’t want to cheaper kWh and pay demand…

    You “shouldn’t” be subsidizing the bill but who knows, it may be something but probably not as much as you would think.

      Off hours can’t be 6 times cheaper, surely

  Meanwhile, Amazon/AWS have reworked their corporate employees compensation so that employees get less in each annual review than previously. As well as making the top possible annual increment firmly out of reach.

    There’s a good solution to that. It’s called unionizing. I know tech workers are allergic to that though LOL

  Forget the lottery. “ChatGPT, how do I create an AI Startup?”

  Oh goody! More nameless knockoff garbage at the top of my searches but now less relevant. Can’t wait.

  Is there an eject button on this hell ride?

    Yep. Don’t do it though. No way to make things better if you check out early.

  Sadly, they’ll gain only the earliest start on NextGen Evil, waste many earth-boiling watt hours doing it and pass the losses on to everyone else via streaming, taxes, whatever.

  Why in hell are all these people on a Technology community who clearly don’t understand the reason why companies are all-in on the AI thing?

  I don’t want to pull a “no true scotsman” here, but holy christ.

    I think there’s a healthy discussion about technology. The fact that people are open to discuss their concerns about AI and the ramifications of the technology is exactly what is needed in a discussion. Technology for the sake of technology is not needed, that’s the play book these giants don’t seem to realize. They are rewarded for technology and their ability to destroy and wreck the power grid without having to pay restitution or taxes. It’s capitalism when in fact taxpayers are constantly the ones footing the bill with grants, tax levies, or holding the bag with bad contracts and needing to fix the problems these corporations leave in their wake.
