Thanks, Roxy. Yeah, that’s the part that nags at me too: regular families get told to take shorter showers and install smart thermostats, while the same people are cranking up insanely energy-hungry AI with zero restraint. When the grid gets stressed, they’re not shutting down the data centers; they’re going to lecture us about ‘responsible use’ and tighten control on households. I’m just trying to get parents to see that tradeoff before it’s baked in as the new normal.
It's interesting how you connect utility costs to deliberate controle, that AI energy consumption bit highlights complex issues we must solve.
