" What this will do, is that newly graduated STEM masters and PhD will go back to their home country and we lose out on top talents. "

It has always been that way, your just starting to catch on.

CS degree's have always been a shame outside of a couple of colleges they teach nothing needed in a real job environment.
The reality of the situation is big tech didn't screw you over the elite liberal education system did that by themselves.

They own the company supplying there data centers electric which makes them a power trader.
Nothing do do with the internet side of the house.

The only thing that could stop this is a President telling the FIRC to issue a new order saying it's not allowed.
I don't see anyone on ether side of the isle who would do that and even if one did the next president would likely change it back.

It's actually worse than Enron by a fair margin.

What this does is allow the mega-tech's (FANGS) lower there price at the expensive of spreading the price around to all of the customers which actually raises prices of normal families power bills. If you have a "AI" data center in your power grid just turning things off in your home will not lower your bill like it used to.

Why was Amazon, Google and Microsoft allowed to become power traders in the first place?

The answer is complicated, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) was given the power to allow corporations to become direct electric traders in 1996 during the Bill Clinton administration. The Supreme Court has upheld the FERC's power several times over the years.

Who the hell would have imagined in the 1990's that these mega tech companies would buy the electric companies supplying there data centers?

The US does not have a housing shortage, we have a liberal issue.
The "experts" only count new houses in there figures not per-existing used units that way everything can be a crisis.

Canada on the other hand has pretty much a shortage on everything (housing, jobs, etc) but there some sort of socialist utopia.

Since when did /. allow non-technical idiots into the forum?

1.) LLM's are not AI.
2.) My cat is smarter than all of the LLM's.
3.) Current LLM's only match the next word to what you want them to say - they do not create anything.
4.) Let me repeat number 4, LLM's do no create anything at best they can correlate already written code into something that almost works.

The one thing that LLM's are good at is transcription that is a far, far cry from "doing all the things" in your dreams.

Your a complete idiot. There is a reason we call you a rsilvergun sub.

These prisons are ran by the Chinese government they are exactly like the ones in mainland China holding the Christian & Muslim slave labor camps that make the clothes and electronics you buy every year.

Do you really want Trump to "do something" about that? What is he going to do have the Air Force drop bunker buster bombs on the camps?
There would be only one outcome to that.
