It's PJM.

This is one of the things that pisses me off. I try to save the planet: I recycle and compost, I walk and bike places, I change the heat/air settings so I'm fairly uncomfortable, I don't eat meat, I source local food, etc - all the things we're supposed to do. And here's some giant techbro company that decides they're going to make AI that no one wants to replace jobs we can't afford to lose, and build data centers to track everything about everyone in an attempt to sell you more goods than anyone needs (the production and shipping of which trashes the planet), all of which strains an aging grid, raises electricity prices on a people who are already struggling with an affordability crisis, and overstrains a dying planet - all so some technro dudes can have a little more money. It's as stupid as the billionaire space race, where one SpaceX launch offset all the pollution saved by Tesla. It makes me feel like all my efforts have been futile, while they're killing the planet for a few more dollars and a couple more toys.

I 100% agree. I don't get the hype. All it give me is non functional code, configs not matching the hardware specified and agreeing respondes on non technical questions.

True AI will have huge energy requirements. Maybe it'll work with humans to find a solution to that problem. I'm sure it'll work out just fine, until Keanu Reeves shows up and starts showing off his kung fu skills
