This sort of thing?

The electricity use gets distributed across the grid and the heat becomes useful rather than a waste problem. Also they pay you for it. Could work out of done properly. But inevitably these are the people who specialise in enshitification and exploitation.

Consumers: “We don’t want AI data centers anywhere near our homes!”

Nvidia: “Ohhhh, you want them as close to your homes as physically possible?”

Oooh so they will have these high-end GPUs just sitting there on house walls? What tools would be needed to unmount one, and how heavy is it to transport? Asking for a friend...

Anyone using a Span product is dumb.

I see they're still not giving up on that bubble.

Literally the most absurd offer in history of universe. You pay $150/month to have some extra noise and space taken away from you. While they install batteries in your home, it is for their use, and takes up more space. All you get is a phone app that can turn off lights in other rooms.

Has anybody found a use for all the AI data centres being built yet?

Man they're really desperate for power. I'm glad they are otherwise power would cost 5x the amount it does now.
