The future’s bright if we get there. Each new technology, be it search (with surveillance compute load), crypto, and now AI, places enormous load on the grid, that also serves consumers, something as un-glamorous as air conditioning.

Please innovate in more useful and less shiny ways. The planet is literally burning up, not just my little piece of it.
