Yeah totally agree - I also think there’s a world where this growing DC demand drives significant investments in renewables and grid infrastructure🤞🏽

(2) But thank you for the link, this is a great report and I hope we see more like this. I still think there are valid criticisms / concerns about the future, especially with the lack of transparency from most companies.

(1) 0.1% is a snapshot; total DC emissions projected to hit 1-1.4% by 2030, with AI growing to half that load. Aviation is 2.5% and gets serious policy attention.
As for local impact, Colossus will consume 40% of Memphis’ peak demand; they currently run gas turbines because the grid can’t keep up.

I disagree, the environmental/energy impacts are certainly not made up nor negligible. I think there’s a lot of misinformation about those impacts (from both sides), but dismissing the total energy consumption used to train foundational models seems disingenuous.

That timeline doesn’t explain the job market contraction and increased competition for entry level jobs we saw after ZIRP. Perhaps the large tech companies are ahead of the curve and were preparing for this, but that doesn’t add up for smaller companies and startups

I agree. From my own personal experience, AI only started having a substantial impact on software development productivity in early 2025 - and even then, I’m not convinced the productivity gains are THAT significant in complex legacy systems.

IMO this tool, AskUserQuestion, is extremely underrated. You can trigger it by just mentioning the tool name (or even “AUQ”) in your message, but you could probably make a slash command with better instructions on how the tool should be used during the session

When you say LLM-like model, you’re referring to transformer-based models generally? Or am I misreading

Sort of like this? I’m not saying mapping/imaging data would be used for raids like this, but it’s not that far-fetched. Smart-home devices (ring, alexa) already collect a huge amount of data, much of which could be exploited by an authoritarian govt.

Massive immigration raid on Chicago apartment building leaves residents reeling: 'I feel defeated'
The Department of Homeland Security said federal agents with Border Patrol, the FBI and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives arrested 37 people in the raid.

You keep moving the goalposts and shifting the burden of proof to me. Your original claim was Lina Khan (FTC) killed iRobot. Now you're framing it as "Amazon must buy iRobot or China wins". Concentrating more power in Amazon’s smart-home ecosystem doesn’t foster domestic innovation or growth.

SharkNinja? They’re headquartered in Massachusetts and on the NYSE. Black+Decker makes the Roboseries Robot Vacuum. Also US based, also on the NYSE. You can look this up.

Shark, Black and Decker are the big players. I am failing to understand your argument - can you explain a bit more? I’m arguing that an acquisition creates a monopoly which makes it harder for any company (domestic or foreign) to succeed.

I never mentioned China nor data in my reply. I believe it’s possible to support domestic innovation while also opposing monopolies. I don’t see how Amazon growing their monopoly helps domestic innovation - in fact, it would make it harder for other domestic players to get established in the field.

Yeah I think the main issue FTC had with this is valid - “accusations the company uses illegal strategies to boost profits at its online retail empire”, and they already have a strong portfolio of smart home devices (Ring + Alexa).

This seems a bit disingenuous - iRobot’s struggles were apparent well before the merger attempt, and their own news release said “Amazon’s proposed acquisition of iRobot has no path to regulatory approval in the European Union, preventing Amazon and iRobot from moving forward together”
