It's paywalled, Alberto. Still, though I hear what you say, I'd be surprised if that were the best possible combination. And what of the energy issue? We live in a society that depends on finite and dwindling energy access, whether you are gregarious or solitary. AI is not helping.

Yeah, the energy issue is very real (e.g. Karen Hao, also for The Atlantic, published a very good piece months ago on the water requirements of datacenters and then there's the news on the nuclear energy bet of the big hyperscalers, Microsoft, Google, and Amazon). I have covered it only in the weekly review because I don't feel I have a good enough grasp of the issue to do a standalone post. But probably will.
