AI Data Center Spending to Reach $32 Trillion by 2050, PwC Says
Or roughly $150 per year for every man, woman, and child on earth. Personally, I’d rather have the $150. Oh, and a non-destroyed climate, an end to the rapacious billionaire class, and a functioning society.

“Low Water”
As far as I can tell, this lake (on the Elk Creek Trail just west of the PCT) is nameless. But like all of the other Cascades lakes I’ve seen lately, it’s low on water. All of the streams in the area are bone-dry.
So GoPro plans to save itself by turning into an AI & defense contractor. Good luck with that. Sounds like a complete debacle for its consumer tech.

This PCT marker has been there a few years.
