"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

My electric rate got hiked again.

I'm already planning a ~7 KW solar setup in the spring but I may see if I can go bigger and sooner.

Just got the news today that my electric rates are going up 12%. This follows multiple above inflation rate hikes in recent years. We used to have cheap electricity. I'm sure that wider adoption of EVs and the push to switch from natural gas in the home to electric everything is a big contributing factor. I'm also sure data centers are a big contributing factor.
