Grid conditions are highly variable, and if you're in the AI biz, you aren't gonna want to shut down your LLMs for a heat wave.

There's plenty of "AI"-related processing which could be delayed and nobody would notice. Training of new models, for example. You get [access to] a new model a couple days later and you won't even notice, because you get it when you get it already. Google is also sufficiently distributed that they can simply move this processing to another location, since both the queries and the results are very small and there will be no appreciable delay associated with doing the processing far away.

Focus group results are subject to two pretty obvious problems. One is that the kind of people who want to do them and have time to do them are not usually the people you actually want input from. Two is that the criteria for selecting focus group members can be selected for the purpose of getting a desired result, you read research that says certain types of people want certain things and then you select people like that to give positive feedback for your shitty ideas.

Inadvertent? I do not think you know what that word means.

A researcher has scraped nearly 100,000 conversations from ChatGPT that users had set to share publicly and Google then indexed, creating a snapshot of all the sorts of things people are using OpenAI's chatbot for, and inadvertently exposing.

USERS SET THEM TO SHARE PUBLICLY
THAT IS NOT INADVERTENT
IT IS A CHOICE

TL;DR: GFY clickbait clowns

Microsoft has published a new video that appears to be the first in an upcoming series of videos dubbed "Windows 2030 Vision,"

Microsoft has consistently failed to implement any of their visions for Windows, ever, except making it a privacy nightmare. Seriously look at Windows history, every time they try to make substantive changes to Windows they fail. They could not even bring us a more featureful filesystem. Now we're supposed to believe anything they say about future Windows? I refuse unless they tell us it's going to kill babies, that I could believe.
