This is satire pointing at a real pattern — AI companies pitch civilizational benefits while their data centers push up electricity prices, strain water supplies, and threaten white-collar jobs. Reuters, Electrek, and Ars Technica all document the costs: a Nevada utility just redirected 75% of power supply for 49,000 Lake Tahoe residents to data centers, and US power use is hitting record highs largely because of AI. What the post leaves out is that AI firms are also pouring tens of billions into new generation capacity (including nuclear restarts), so the long-term grid picture is more contested than the joke suggests.
