🚨 Could AI Data Centers Actually LOWER Your Power Bill?
@DavidSacks: “We can get these AI companies to pay for upgrades to the grid. We can actually get them to produce more electricity… Residential rates go down for [the] community, not up.”
“They pay for those teacher bonuses. They pay for decreases in property taxes.”
@gavpepper85 Switzerland caps non-EU immigration by law 8,500 permits for 2026 & votes next week on cutting it further. US, Canada & Japan all set quotas. Ireland sits outside Schengen with more control than almost anyone, and doesn’t use it. As Sinéad O’Sullivan says, it’s all we’ve left!
@TonightVMTV@ChapCleere@WhitmoreJen@ChapCleere Ireland's 5% unemployment rate uses the ILO test: jobless + actively seeking + available in 2 weeks. Stop looking and you vanish from the stats.
Add the 105k in the "Potential Additional Labour Force" + 141k underemployed part-timers and real slack is closer to ~14%.
The jump from working with a chatbot to having an agent that actually helps automate a process requires a real amount of work.
Most companies will need to have dedicated people that are responsible for bringing automation to their teams, instead of leaving this up to every individual employee. Partly because the work is more technical than we imagine today, and partly because it’s just hard to do this as a side project.
The job spec is to map out new workflows with agents, implement new systems to deploy agents, make sure the agent has all the right (up to date) context to work with, wiring up internal systems to connect to the agents, creating evals for the agents, figuring out where the human is in the loop, managing the system when there are new upgrades, helping with the change management of the existing business process, and so on.
These jobs may come from IT or engineering, or live directly in the business function itself. They’ll be called different things depending on the company, and in some sense it’s the future of software engineering that you’ll see a huge growth of in non-tech companies.
Most companies will have to be hiring for this now or in the future, and it’s another example of the kind of new jobs that will be created in AI.
The Head of Claude Code at Anthropic said he hasn’t written code by hand in months.
In 2 days he shipped 49 full features. All written 100% by AI.
He just dropped a 30 min talk on exactly how he does it.
Worth more than any $500 vibe coding course. Bookmark it:
@WorkingGet@Independent_ie@IrishTimes shame on you for targeting protesters! We the Irish see through this and still support them. You have been bought by the government. We don’t buy these stories any more!
