There are plenty of rural areas with regular but short power outages.
If you can save your freezer and have a little bit of light that helps a lot.
In worst case you probably have a generator somewhere
Ai will get better not worse.
You will not be able not to pay for code ai due to the advantage other companies have with it.
For now I guess no job loss but also less new head counts
Why?
Ai already makes money.
My company is paying for GitHub copilot.
I'm paying for chatgpt.
I'm seeing more and more news article with images generated from ai.
The demos for integration I have seen, work.
Every company which is right now learning how to leverage ai will be able to pivot and already have necessary things in place like a company, people, base infrastructure.
And the research is still super hot.
