will there be huge power plants just dedicated to AI all over the world soon?
It takes time to build a power plant. A more realistic scenario is that we’ll continue as we have: AI centers will be built wherever local governments approve them for the taxes, without regard for the strain they put on the aging electrical grid and, given the massive amount of electricity they need, everyone’s electrical bill will just massively increase.
They’ve been building a large number of data centers and AI centers in Virginia, and it’s been straining and raising prices across the entire PJM interconnector region, to the point where at least a couple states are considering leaving it. Microsoft has bought the rights to and is reactivating part of the Three Mile Island nuclear plant, because they wanted dedicated power, and they’re still going to be pulling power from the grid.

aramis87@fedia.ioto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•When does Trump finally start taking accountability?1·5 days agoThere won’t be any. You saw that lack in his last administration, everything wrong was “sabotage by the Deep State”. Now it’s that he’s doing the right things, they’re just “being implemented wrong”.
I keep thinking back to something I heard during the election: Republicans get to be lawless, Democrats have to be flawless.
Not that I’m bitter …

I would love AOC as president. Unfortunately, she’s a woman and she’s a minority, and this country is just too racist and sexist - and stupid! - to elect her.

With majority of vegetables coming from one acre and all put in to get wifi to our subdivision? So the bill is not that high?6·27 days agoDepends on how many people you’re envisioning in your commune, but you’ll likely need more than a one-acre garden. And working that garden is quite a bit of work!

According to various news reports, the suspect’s car had a manifesto, a hit list of people to target (one report said the list had a bunch of politicians, another said the list had a bunch of pro-choice activists), and apparently the car also had a bunch of No Kings signs in it. I’m guessing they thought he was going to slip into a protest and try to hurt people?
Something important to know about the two people who were shot: until her death, Melissa Hortman was a member of the Minnesota State House of Representatives; and John Hoffman is a member of the Minnesota State Senate. Both were Democrats.
And up until they were shot, the Minnesota House had 134 Members: 66 Republicans vs 67 Democrats (with one seat empty to be filled later). And the Minnesota Senate had 67 members: 33 Republicans and 34 Democrats. If the assassinations had both been successful, both chambers would have been tied. As it is, they’re only saying that Hoffman is “stable”, but there are no further details.

Dude, this is exactly the way they were always going to do it, but you never listen to the other side because they’re “woke”. And by the time you wake up, it’ll be too late for all of us. Not just the fascist USA, by the way, because corporations and their enablers now have free reign to deny science and avoid action until the rest of humanity is dying in a cataclysmic hellscape. But I’m glad you were able to avoid seeing a couple of people holding hands, I’m glad all this was worth it to you.
