"CEO claims data centers are going to start running out of power within 18-24 months", reports @KarlBode

IF WE ARE LUCKY, I ADD.

Something like that may be the only shock big enough to reset the madness, and start using #AI sensibly. See these posts of mine at https://mfioretti.substack.com/archive

I want 5000 words for #Europe, all in one place.

And wherever you live, whatever you think of the #EU, I want one of those words from YOU:
