Oh no! The LLMs won’t have enough power!
I like how that is the headline, not that this will cause irreparable damage to the biosphere by continuing the reliance on carbon emissions

Many headlines are looking for the leopards ate my face angle and this headline accomplished that goal.
Remember, the billionaires, MAGA, Big Data, and Heritage are all in bed together, for now.
Don't worry, your corporate lords will make sure their LLMs are powered. The serfs will need to cut back on luxuries like air conditioning. Like in Texas.
Yep, they'll enforce rolling blackouts before they make the LLMs scale back anything.
In another (better) timeline governments would stop giving these people handouts and make them responsible for funding and maintaining their own power.

There should be a turbine powered by the hot air coming out of Altman's piehole.
Wish they’d at least drop the tariffs on solar panel imports.
Then demand for fossil fuels would drop and Putin would lose money.
So yeah, if it were me, we'd be subsizing solar for just that reason.
Better ban (or massively tax) energy-intensive AI usage then.
Well, thank goodness the AI bubble is soon to burst!
