The chinks broke their momentum with Deepseek.

The "muh AI crunching is very expensive" scam collapsed.

My long term concern isn't AI per say. It's the way that all the states are now planning to increase electricity prices 2-4x what they are now so they can "power data centers". Bullshit of course, but shit is gonna get really bad when electric bills hit over 200 a month WITHOUT heating and cooling. I remember my bills in Cali. It was nuts. And that was almost 20 years ago

All these big tech corporations are supposedly using 80% solar energy is another scam.

They need so much water to cool their data-centers, meanwhile the farmers are rationed.

They'll have to dial that back at some point. If the common man can't afford electricity that means no more porn, social media, sportsball or videogames distracting everyone. That's the absolute last thing they want.
