We need to pass legislation that requires all AI services be powered by their own, renewable energy on-site. Then no one can complain and we'll reduce pollution at the same time.
If the AI services complain we can collectively respond with, "oh yeah? How's that AGI comin? Surely it can figure out a way to power itself."
Of course, that's when the AI companies start hiring humans to sit in energy harvesting pods all day 🤷
You REALLY need to be explicit about the renewable requirement on that. In Texas they have been building basically unregulated and non-grid tied gas power plants to fuel this shit.
Louisiana just voted to call natural gas a green energy source.

My region of Canada has some STRONG PR calling LNG 'green'. Fracking methane schleppers.
Sounds like they need to be either charging way more for electricity or cutting off these AI server farms.
Which do you think will happen and realistically who will end up paying?
They are charging us consumers way more for electricity.
Should be, yes, but the government doesn't get to make shit up as they go. This fine idea will require legislation which would be quashed by tech money before it made it out of committee.
If not crypto mining, then AI. Just charge them more, new power plants won't build themselves for free
Where will Ai get its juice from, then? Canada?
That's gonna be funny when our Drug Fraud and his faithful hound Moe get backbones.
