I've done a series that adds support for AF_UNIX sockets in coredumps. Userspace provides an AF_UNIX socket path via core_pattern and the kernel connects to it, shuts down the read side and writes the coredump to the socket.
This means no more super privileged usermode helper upcalls and makes for a very nice API experience. I captured coredumps simply via socat:

The receiver can use SO_PEERPIDFD to get a stable handle on the crashed process.

I came across information that the original quote in Futurism which said 99% electricity use was incorrect.

The transcript says “3% to 9%”.

The larger point remains, though. AI and data center energy and water use is surging, and we are only at the beginning of this whole thing. For years, data centers energy use stayed below 1% and we were told not to worry. In countries like Ireland, data center energy use is now already over 20%
