Then there should be consequences any day now, right?

Still it’s the state of the industry.

Australia? Isn’t that the other side of the world, where people live upside down and don’t even notice it?

Very true. A regulation that not only regards the interests of capitalists but also of the people and the environment living there could fix that.

200 million earned by reselling an existing product.

The problems with data centers are not the data centers, it’s missing regulation about where and how to build data centers.

It’s a very American problem.

Would the promise require dems to actually do something about data centers?

When it’s daylight over the Pacific the workers are probably busy with ship things, when it’s daylight over Asia, they’ll be using Chinese data centers, there’s no wonder why American data center have vastly reduced load.

This doesn’t say anything about the request load during work hours.

Oh, they don’t work at night? Me neither. But during work time I need more compute anyway.

Pi Coding Agent on the laptop, openwebui as a self hosted service.

I don’t host LLMs myself. My best hardware has 16GB of RAM, I could run a 4B model or so, but what’s the point? So I buy compute with ZDR turned on.

Thanks for sharing some experiences from on the ground. It’s certainly anecdotal but even then already a lot more nuanced than the general 2-bullet-point rage that drives public perception.

Right, like from March or so. Everybody in the loop, especially CEOs know that AI now produces clear code that doesn’t need any review.

Hey its 2026! just ask AI who should win based on popular vibe, and be done with.

We call it vibe voting

Just like main replaced master in a heartbeat.

As if one could break out of the bubble with tech bro “media”

There are still other means of communications than the way of tech Bros.

They have a flag Zero Data Retention that cones with the promise that after a call no data is kept on any servers. I’m using that.

It’s contract level trust; I wouldn’t bet my life on it, but overall it’s a compromise I’m willing to make.

Who?

I run the AI service (OpenwebUi) myself, but buy the compute on OpenRouter. Self hosting models is not an economic viability for me.
