“There are a lot more people out here living in abject poverty than what people like to think or admit to. You voted for this—and now we’re paying the price.”
Employees learned of the cuts on Monday in a video message from Michael Adams, CEO of BlueOval SK.
Adams announced the transition would mean “the end of all BlueOval SK positions in Kentucky.”
I love how everyone was freaking out about the effects of EVs on the grid but no one gives a fuck about AI’s energy usage.
Turns out it was never them being worried about the power usage at all…
Lots of people give a fuck about AI’s energy usage, but the data centers are paying off the people that could do something about it.
I get what you’re saying but EVs are totally different than data centers in terms of electrical load distribution.
EV can help smooth out usage spikes with two way energy transfer.
That’s nice in theory but reality is if that were happening and people’s vehicles battery charge started going down while they were plugged in at home, they’d unplug. They plugged it in because they wanted to recharge for later, not because they want to help the grid.
Electric vehicles as facilitators of grid stability and flexibility: A multidisciplinary overview.
If your on the larger Internet you’ll find there are lots of people concerned about AI data centers to the point they’re protesting. If we were to switch to EV enmass the grid would need upgrades and since its in largely private hands those upgrades would be slow and expensive.
The electric F150 lost 5 figures on everyone sold so its not surprising that Ford was looking for a reason to stop production.
