@tdp_org I was at Cisco Live in Amsterdam this time last year, and their two main marketing pushes that year were effectively "AI IN SWITCHES, AI IN ROUTERS, AI IN FIREWALLS, AI EVERYWHERE!!!!11!!!111!!!🥳", and "You should be thinking about the planet and cutting down on your energy usage. Here are all our new power management products".
In one of the Power/Enviro sessions I had the temerity to ask how this aligned with the big AI push, and was met with a stony silence 😀
