Ep. 356: Bog Boys, Swamp Studs, or Marsh Men?

About this episode

The episode discusses the differences between bogs, swamps, and marshes, leading to a conversation about the environmental impact of AI data centers.

This week, the guys get into the weeds about the difference between bogs, swamps, and marshes. As riveting as that sounds, it's really just a precursor to a conversation about AI data centers that could crumble the environment and economy as we know it! Does having AI suck up all the water make any sense at all, or is it as bad an idea as it sounds? And will these data centers even stick around long term, or will they become obsolete as technology moves on and leave problems and people in their wake?! Both Josh and Evan have thoughts on how things like AI will impact the future, and it leads to some interesting thoughts about leaving legacies, and what motivates people to plan for a future they may never see versus living large while they last. So, is there any hope for future generations? Who knows! But some things that are certain are some Fact of the Week and "sticking it to the man" tidbits, and whatever's coming up on the calendar!
