    Previously the equation was trying to get as much processing out of every kilowatt-hour, now the equation is trying to use as much energy as possible. The impact of AI eclipses IT loads from before by a massive margin, and because of the theory behind it will never, ever do any better than it is right now. The environmental impact should bother you because it’s massive and getting bigger.

    And you’re helping set it up and keep it going. I know what it’s like to run a datacenter, I did it for a decade and a half. I’m not going to say I’m making more money now, but I do sleep much better.

    I don’t think anyone disagrees about early 3d aging poorly. But I wouldn’t even call OG Doom fully 3d on account of everything besides walls and floors being sprites. Sprites are just pixels, and no vertices mean no 3d.
