    Generative AI energy usage is environmentally wasteful and will just raise the cost of energy for regular consumers.

    Wife works at our electric company in the policy and supply dept. That ship done sailed, we are already fucked.

    Since the dipshits got rid of nuclear, we now can’t keep up with the demand as it stands, let alone with the coming ai bullshit.

    Buckle up everybody.
