And I think it’s no coincidence that this is when we’re seeing a big AI push. We’ve had machine learning for at least 20 years now but have had to be precious about the resources we can afford to go to that kind of compute (I still remember “donating” my screensaver compute time to SETI and genetics processing). Now that it’s not completely unfeasable thanks to renewable energy, every tech company and their mom is all in. We truly need an energy budget for the planet or we’re just going to be circling the drain indefinitely.
