It doesn't matter who wins the AI race, whether it’s OpenAI, Google, Microsoft or world governments. We will be the collateral damage in this. Energy bills, water bills, and hardware prices are going to become major talking points in 2026 and beyond. These are just a few things I’ve noticed as 2025 comes to a close.

"the AI race"

@troy_frizzell @nixCraft for sure the only winning move.

While enjoying benefit of AI in some respect, it needs human supervision for correctness. How a human can be more accurate than hundreds of clustered servers consuming precious resources, is beyond me.

On our servers I've banned all AI scraping to protect customer's intellectual property until a time where AI platforms can refrain from creator content siphoning or at minimum compensate for selling.

Hoping the humans ditch the A in AI.
