    I’m not computer worker person but I’m pretty sure most are just serving websites and podcasts and music and all the shit we actually love about the Internet. Websites like this, and Netflix, Amazon, even ones like Plex or foss things. But also crypto and AI bullshit. Modem luxuries we enjoy come with bullshit attached. It’s all or nothing as far as I see.

      Crypto and AI are crazy power intensive to run. Far beyond what it takes a streaming service to send you a video file and considering many people are choosing streaming over driving their gasoline fueled car to the theater, it’s a net gain.
