    I don’t think it follows that the people asking you to reduce your AC usage are also the same people able to control AI power consumption.

    We have got a stop treating our institutions as monoliths so we can effectively interact with the individual pieces that construct them. If you go into a place of power ready to heap all your gripes with the system on the single person who’s only job is to allow you to interface with that system, you’re not going to make headway.

      I mean it’s usually the power utility telling you to do that and they’re the ones making deals with the data centers so I think the criticism is fairly directed.

      Energy providers should install smart meters that shut off the power to AI server farms instead of residential air conditioners during peak loads.
