That's why I suggest a mitigation to the increases for industry based on local employment. Data centers employ very few people per-Killowatt and so contribute a lot less to the local economy compared to those other industries.
It would make sense in conjunction with an employment based mitigation. Data centers employ very few people once operational (they're not called lights-out facilities for nothing), so no mitigation. Major manufacturer provides many steady jobs, more mitigation for them.
Of course, things get complicated. There are mini data centers being set up in people's back yards where the waste heat warms the home owners house. That doesn't employ a lot of people but gets effectively double use of the energy for at least a good part of the year, offsetting other energy use, so it should see some form of mitigation as well.
The bigger question though is how long until the data centers are abandoned? The big AI companies and their investors are operating at a loss as they jocky for market share and train ever larger models. But will people actually find the AI useful enough to pay for it once the investors start demanding their ROI? Will managers come to realize that they might be better off hiring people suffering schizophrenia with frequent psychotic episodes?
End to end encryption, for a toilet? Frankny I do not want a TOILET to connect me "end-to-end" with anybody. They're doing it wrong.
Time to pull up the sheet on IOT. Not only has it gone up it's own backside, now it's trying to go up ours too.
How about "hit", the most common word used to express the concept.
I think with the correct amount of monetary contribution to el Bunko, the boy can be brought back into the space program. It's magic!!!
Recall the Honduran president el Bunko just pardoned? The one who helped ship 100s of tons of cocaine to the U.S. Starting several years ago, his "people" started making the "correct" contributions to "Republicans" (read: el Bunko) and, as if by magic, a pardon appears.
Meanwhile el Bunko is blowing up small vessels off Venezuela arguing they are carrying fentanyl. They aren't, fentanyl doesn't come in boats from Venezuela. It comes via Mexico from chemicals supplied by China. Is he blowing up Chinese boats carrying these chemicals? Nope. That's because he never smacks anyone that can hit back because he's basically a weenie.
"Humans invent things."
No shit, including that anthropomorphic driven climate change is not a problem.
"AI is already chewing through research faster than half the committees publishing these forecasts."
Really? AI is now doing climate forecasting. Do tell. How's it doing on physics? Or chemistry outside of a few edge cases? Mathematics is not science but much science is based on mathematics. Where's the AI research breakthroughs on math?
"We’re developing materials, energy systems, geo-tech and carbon-capture methods that simply didn’t exist when the early models were written."
So what? There's no guarantee these will help climate change. Many might hurt climate change. And you have no way to predict it.
"Pretending society won’t respond, won’t adapt and won’t innovate is probably the most unrealistic assumption in the whole exercise."
Bullshit. "society" has shown very little in the way of adaptation. In fact, "society" is busy pumping more CO2 and Methane into the atmosphere than ever before. The American West is drying out because of it. Does it cause Americans do anything more than move? Not effectively.
Your entire screed is nothing more than whistling past the graveyard.
It is even worse than that. el Bunko and his witless slaves are slathering the bullshit around that they are bring manufacturing back to America for American jobs. Pushing robots just mean peopleless factories, no jobs, just another con job. And the robots or their parts will be made in China.
TDS? I do not think we need to bring the ability to believe la Presidenta into this.
la Presidenta First Rule: Nothing is done by him until he receives payment.
la Presidenta Second Rule: He destroys everything he touches.
la Presidenta Third Rule: You cannot set the morals and ethics bar so low that he cannot find a way to limbo under it.
It'll be about 3-5 years but more or less. That's how long analysts think the AI build out will last.
Which analysts?
... is that it's a protocol designed and built by someone who knew what he was doing (Linus Torwalds) resulting, among other things, in the fact that migrating your upstream Git repo away from a commercial service like Github takes something like 20 seconds, if you're having a slow day.
The difficulty of migrating away from Github is when you've built your entire deploy pipeline and QA process around it, which is what a lot of companies are doing lately.
More cylinders does make for a smoother engine without complex harmonic dampening, which the Japanese have decades of experience in doing exceptional at.
There was a big scandal about smooth submarine motion during the cold war. Toshiba makes the quietest refrigerator I've ever heard (42 db iirc). Can't hear it in the next room.
BYD is heavily subsidized
No, it's not. The exported BYD cars do not get any unusual subsidies. Their initial R&D was subsidized, but not the production.

"This article explores the issue of a "Jobless Recovery" mainly from a heterodox economic perspective. It emphasizes the implications of ideas by Marshall Brain and others that improvements in robotics, automation, design, and voluntary social networks are fundamentally changing the structure of the economic landscape. It outlines towards the end four major alternatives to mainstream economic practice (a basic income, a gift economy, stronger local subsistence economies, and resource-based planning). These alternatives could be used in combination to address what, even as far back as 1964, has been described as a breaking "income-through-jobs link". This link between jobs and income is breaking because of the declining value of most paid human labor relative to capital investments in automation and better design. Or, as is now the case, the value of paid human labor like at some newspapers or universities is also declining relative to the output of voluntary social networks such as for digital content production (like represented by this document). It is suggested that we will need to fundamentally reevaluate our economic theories and practices to adjust to these new realities emerging from exponential trends in technology and society."
Almost anything derogatory you could say about today's software design would be accurate. -- K.E. Iverson
