Hilarious dude. I've designed some of the things you mention. Data centers consume power, a shit ton of it. The idea that the demand is increasing but the price won't is bonkers to me. And that's before you consider all the labor going towards building new infrastructure for these things rather than repairing our existing grid. This trend is absolutely ravaging our industry. I'm being asked to design GREENFEILD fossil fuel gen stations to feed gigawatt scale data centers. How is that not insane? We as a society are burning our planet for LLMs

Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.
