This picture has been making the rounds again, and is being misidentified again. This is a GOOSEFISH. This is NOT a tasselled wobbegong shark. It’s a great pic. I get why people are very excited about it. But it’s as easy to give it the right name as the wrong one. fullfact.org/online/tasse...
So coming back to this, if currently there is about 415 TWh of demand, the and the projections are that the tech industry will build about 32GW more, this is 280320 GWh or 280 TWh, expansion in next 5 years. E.g. not quite doubling all compute on earth, but more than 50% increase.
If you think AI is a bubble, you haven’t seen nothing yet. Casino will continue for minimum 6 months, almost certainly till the midterms. Likely longer than this….
What is the right way to think about 30GW of energy??? Maybe it’s like well take a billion people (so like 1/10 people on earth), and have a 30 watt light on over their head that’s glowing all the time. This is the near term projected energy load of these AI infrastructure projects
Everyone here needs to read this to understand the scale of the madness that just got kicked off www.citriniresearch.com/p/stargate-a... The amount of growth in energy demand that is about to take place is unconscionable and individual boycott will do anything to stop it. Please strategies. Tyty

Social media company that publishes public feeds of peoples conversations with ais that’s like rap genius meets Bluesky. Like I just click a button to publish an LLM conversation, and then people can link to posts in Bluesky
I have asked many people about this actually. Consensus seems to be that most people don’t actually want to talk to their pets.
