Jasmine Sun on the whole data center thing
This week I had a lot more time in the car to listen to podcasts. I’ve been following a lot of the discussion and reporting about data centers. Jasmine Sun is doing some of the best reporting on the topic you will find. I haven’t come across anyone else doing the depth of investigative reporting that she is doing. By all means read the article, but her conversation with Ezra Klein was great, but I particularly enjoyed her conversation with PJ Vogt.
I continue to use AI in my work and personal life and still find it exciting and ever more useful as time goes on. I use it mostly to build things for myself. That said, I really don’t like that AI companies have vacuumed up so much creative work for training without compensating creators. I also hate all the slop that makes up such a massive amount of content and traffic on the web. Every day I think about deleting my blog and just retreating to a dark forest.
