Great scoop by Titus on the burgeoning CA battle over OpenAI's future. AG Bonta also is examining the company.

A good overview on how #AI will throw a major wrinkle into the debate of CA energy prices.

[Titus Wu @tituswu100]

I did a deep dive into how #AI's huge #energy demands may clash with the #California legislature's affordability goals, and what might be done https://t.co/gaUts3YqB4
