AI companies will go bankrupt (and projects at other tech companies get shut down) before they start consuming X times the current electrical usage at data centers.AI companies will go bankrupt (and projects at other tech companies get shut down) before they start consuming X times the current electrical usage at data centers. If the true cost of AI were passed on to all people using it today, it would fall apart. Eventually, the bill comes due, as in all previous crashes.

Battery life on iOS 18 on my 15 Pro Max is noticeably worse than iOS 17.6.1.@film_girl Was just reading up: Apple says you can have a period of time (often days) of worse performance/hotter phones after upgrades due to on-device optimization and local rebuilding of device-only insights.

Are you trying to watch Rings of Power season 2 and it is way too obscure?Are you trying to watch Rings of Power season 2 and it is way too obscure? Let this Tolkien nerd *briefly* give you a pathway. No spoilers.
So Tolkien’s universe starts with a unitary demiurge (solo “god”) who then creates a small number of subsidiary gods. They start singing and it creates existence. One of them, Melkor (later renamed Morgoth) tries to sing a discordant counterpoint, which the deity weaves in as if that were expected all along.
