Good idea. Data center growth is largely driven by AI and cryptocurrency mining. Most ratepayers won't get value back from that by paying a premium on their electric bills.

"Living library" is aspirational. To get there, AI needs to: Understand context, nuance Prioritize information by credibility, age of source Properly attribute sources Identify mistakes and lies Be more intuitive More broadly, add the same value as a human researcher, writer, or editor.

Over years, I have a few times called Musk a liar (across the country by 2016, then 2017) and thief (money for upgrades), on national TV even. Maybe that’s why my Twitter account has been blocked for a few months despite violating no rules. I can’t get it fixed.

In the last few minutes I've seen about 8 instances of the same Trump post that originated elsewhere. Just another dumb comment among many and not news. All this does is amplify his message. He wants you to do this. Please don't feed the troll.

I was recently in the main parking garage at Logan Airport in Boston, and there were far more big, heavy pickups than EVs. Glad this bill failed, but makes you question the concerns over weight.

It depends on how much they are lying about everything. Deepseek is good. It's open source. But they aren't transparent about the economics. At least from what I have read so far. Would love everyone in the industry to please opine !

That is exactly how organized disinformation works. Use social media to get gullible people to raise its visibility. Then well-meaning people repeat the message with the intent to counter it. In fact, they are amplifying disinformation.

My 2 concerns with "set and forget": During warmer months we would not want/need cooling most of the time. Leaving the heat pump off during those times seems more efficient. On the coldest days, we would supplement with a woodstove, and the heat pump if on would fight with it to maintain set temp.

Thanks for this. I'm speaking with heat pump contractors, and they've been telling me to "set and forget," which I had my doubts about.

Two years ago, I marveled at how easy it was to get travel info about esoteric towns via the internet. So much useful UGC. This time, it’s been hell. Search returns AI bullshit, outdated reddit content, trip advisor spam, and gobs of autogenerated crap. Finding accurate info is impossible. Le sigh.
