Reading will nevertheless help. It's not going to give you perfect form on your breast stroke, but that's not what OP is going for here. He wants to not die if he suddenly finds himself in deep water. There's plenty of benefit from reading about how to go about not dying under those sorts of circumstances.

PJM has lost more than 5.6 net gigawatts in the last decade as power plants shut faster than new ones enter service, according to a PJM presentation filed with regulators this year. PJM added about 5 gigawatts of power-generating capacity in 2024, fewer than smaller grids in California and Texas. Meanwhile, data center demand is surging. By 2030, PJM expects 32 gigawatts of increased demand on its system, with all but two of those gigawatts coming from data centers.

So this is a combination of utter mismanagement by the power companies, combined with growth in data center demand. Data centers are not purely AI. And I would expect that if PJM continues to be a basket case with exceptionally high prices those data centers will move elsewhere, or at least not get set up so more in those locations. Data centers generally don't have to be located in specific places, by their nature. AI-specific ones in particular since the bandwidth required is a lot smaller than their processing power.

Clearly what we need to do is ban plastic straws some more.

Bret Adee, one of the largest US beekeepers, has 55,000 hives used to pollinate crops. As monoculture farming spreads, bees have to be moved across the country, especially for almonds, blueberries and cherries. He lost 75% of his bees over the past year.

A quick Google search reveals that his operation, Adee Honey Farms, is in South Dakota. here's another article on this subject with a different photograph of the same place. Their web page doesn't have many photos of the field in question, but there's a couple.

This is not an AI image.

Think of all the future effort it'll save, though.

Depending on your child's age and your bond you could also simply get rid of the child.

Some years ago now, a bunch of bike lanes got added to the streets in my city. The city did a big project of adding them and afterwards proudly declared that X number of kilometers of bike lanes had been made.

When an investigation was done into how the decision process had gone for where to add them it turned out that the only consideration had been "how cheap is it to add bike lanes in these locations?" Not "would bike lanes actually be used in these locations?" They were solely trying to maximize the kilometers-of-lane-per-dollar-spent so that they could put out that headline with as big a number as possible.

Subsequent studies showed that a lot of those lanes weren't being used by bikes in any significant number. Bike lanes had been added on streets that ran alongside sidewalks that were already designated bike paths. I'm a bike rider myself, some lanes were added in my neighborhood but they somehow managed to put them everywhere except the routes I usually took. The city wound up spending a bunch more money to remove a bunch of the bike lanes that were doing nothing but increasing congestion.

It may be that this was a similar situation, where someone wanted to proudly show off headlines of how they'd pushed for bike access and got X numbers of kilometers installed and those were the only real metrics that mattered.

I can't say anything about your math, but I can say that you didn't read the article.

Yeah. I consider Trump the "blow everything up" candidate, he got a lot of support from people who were just so generically desperate that they wanted to vote for whoever seemed like they were going to majorly change something, somehow. It almost didn't matter what Trump did as long as he smashed the existing order while doing it.

I'm not trying to argue for or against this position. As I said all I'm doing is explaining a misrepresentation of the position that people are holding, namely that "a machine that can't think straight will do it for us."

I don't see what it's going to conclude that we haven't already.

Well, that's the point of trying to build ASI. To have it think of things that we haven't been able to think of.

I really, really, can't picture a scenario where we actually listen.

Of course not, you're not an ASI.

That's fine, I'm just correcting the misrepresentation of the view that was in the headline.
