"less AI" is still AI.
"less meat" is still meat.

if your AI slop generator is "more effective," that still does not mean less AI. see #JevonsParadox:

stop trying to sell us your " #vegan " AI by pretending it's "less AI."

Hate to break it to you, but (a) the #JevonsParadox has been a thing for about two centuries, and (b) the atmosphere and oceans neither know nor care how many people are on the plane.

Another week, another discussion, maybe lets talk about LLM with general blog text? Or how to use a tool as a tool? Or try to expose some more contradictions?

Agents for text

Will agents replace us? Not sure, but maybe you want to read some discussion on the topic.

US mortgage rates surge to 6.45% as Middle East tensions drive Treasury yields higher, while housing demand remains robust as consumers accept high rates as the new normal. Meanwhile, Apollo economist argues AI will increase employment through Jevons Paradox, and Google signals potential for ads in Gemini app.

The problem of too many cars isn’t just about the tailpipes. And although EVs seemingly address that issue (or “move” much of it, depending on the electricity source), their increased weight, and the potential increase in size and distance driven (due to #JevonsParadox) make EVs “complicated.”

Generation never was the bottleneck. This week the industry finally started noticing and we're landing on the uncomfortable truth: attention might be all transformer architectures need, but our own attention does not scale. Opus 4.7 shipped with a 35% token tax (but gets more done with fewer tokens), Uber's

I’ll make this VERY clear — if you don’t understand very well critical truths like #InducedDemand (aka the Irrefutable Law of Congestion) and its twin truth #JevonsParadox, you are not qualified to make transportation-related decisions affecting cities. And your profession will make cities worse.

Jevons Paradox vs the DC bubble narrative.

DeepSeek cut AI training cost by 95%. Bears said demand would fall.

What happened: Meta raised capex to $65B. Amazon to $200B. Microsoft held at $80B.

Per-unit cost drops 90%, total volume rises 1,000%. Every efficiency gain bears cite AGAINST DC demand is evidence FOR it.

The $37 Billion Opportunity: Why SEA's Data Center Surge Will Define the Next Digital Decade

Structural demand analysis: Jevons Paradox, sovereign AI mandates, $1T digital economy. Why the 'bubble' narrative fundamentally misunderstands SEA's infrastructure trajectory.

DeepSeek matched top US AI models at a fraction of the cost. If efficiency makes AI cheaper, do we use the same amount more efficiently or way more? This is the heart of Jevon's paradox. https://www.poppastring.com/blog/what-about-jevons-paradox #AI #JevonsParadox
