About this episode
The episode discusses the rising electric bills due to AI data centers and the implications for households.
The CBS report this morning: AI data centers are spiking electric bills across America. People who don't use AI are paying for the people who do. We talked about the AI race as chips, then talent, then data. The actual moat was always electricity. Now hyperscalers got the gains and households got the bill. Nobody voted on this.
