Amazon Will Spend Nearly A Year Of AWS Revenue On AI Investments

Why in hell are all these people on a Technology community who clearly don't understand the reason why companies are all-in on the AI thing?
I don't want to pull a "no true scotsman" here, but holy christ.

Meanwhile, Amazon/AWS have reworked their corporate employees compensation so that employees get less in each annual review than previously. As well as making the top possible annual increment firmly out of reach.

If that’s the case there is likely a demand component to the bill. You don’t want to cheaper kWh and pay demand…
You “shouldn’t” be subsidizing the bill but who knows, it may be something but probably not as much as you would think.

What you're telling me getting TT 3 Years in a row is not feasible?
Also don't firget reducing the amount of promos handed out and trying to get people to leave so they can replace them with college kids.
But yeah let's throw 4 billion more at Anthropic

I think there's a healthy discussion about technology. The fact that people are open to discuss their concerns about AI and the ramifications of the technology is exactly what is needed in a discussion. Technology for the sake of technology is not needed, that's the play book these giants don't seem to realize. They are rewarded for technology and their ability to destroy and wreck the power grid without having to pay restitution or taxes. It's capitalism when in fact taxpayers are constantly the ones footing the bill with grants, tax levies, or holding the bag with bad contracts and needing to fix the problems these corporations leave in their wake.

Step 1. Be rich or know rich people
Step 2. Convince rich people to give you more money
Step 3. Repeat Step 2

Sure, that's what drugs are for. Why stop existing forever when you can stop existing for short periods of time from the comfort of your couch?

This is probably a long shot, but you wouldn’t happen to be the same FaceDeer who does the cool luanti mods?

Oh, neat. Yeah, that's me.
Been a couple of years since I've picked up the modding pen, but I still remember those days fondly. Just got really busy with life for a while and fell out of the habit. -
There's a good solution to that. It's called unionizing. I know tech workers are allergic to that though LOL

Awesome, what a coincidence! I still run dfcaverns on my mcl-based server to this day, I thought the name seemed familiar
my stepchild loves taking dwarven syrup baths!But sorry for jumping in suddenly like this, just thought I’d ask and share my appreciation. You’ve brought a dash of joy to our lives, and I thought we don’t get to tell that enough to all the amazing creators out there

Every system is different so can’t speak for you. All the grid infrastructure is built to deliver peak demand so it’s not all about cost of generation resources.
Large companies that can use power consistently for 24hour will get “better” rates because in theory they are maximizing energy sales with the designed lines. That has value too but “better” isn’t always “cheaper”; energy kWh’s and peak demand are valued differently based on the grid/consumers needs.
Nearly every residential user does not use energy that way 24hrs a day. Sun goes down, lights come on, dinner prepped, and home climate changes contribute to significant demand that adds up quickly. That’s why most utilities offer time of use rates, if you want a cheaper energy bill than do your part by either not straining the grid at peak hours or paying into your contribution.
All that to say as long as your utility is not an investor owned utility than 6x may not be that crazy for your system. The fundamentals of energy costs is supply vs. demand. But IOU’s is a completely different ballgame.
