@SecurityWriter Working in the sustainable energy sector, yet everyone wastes energy on summarizing f.... e-mails and well written documents (with a great summary/exec overview), and no-one sees the irony of it... Recently had someone summarize a 5 page academic paper. Result; worse summary and energy wasted (that person likely didn't get the gist of the paper either).

If the only tool you have is LLMs and you use it for everything, You're the tool.

@SecurityWriter We are seeing this effect in Colorado. There is a real push to attract data centers here (for reasons I don't understand); meanwhile, they say that residential electricity rates are going up 50% while industrial (e.g. those data centers) will remain flat, thus falling in real terms.

@SecurityWriter @onepict I've said in the past this - if I ever write a book on software development, and entire chapter will be given over to explaining how consumer costs rise due to many failed IT projects.

You have a point, AI is going to make it even worse. Really is time to look at getting off grid.
