Chris its cool to know we think alike, even if you see systems Engineering as "Philosopy", because you might not have seen the formal system model I maintain of my work on the global energy problem, thanks for the article prompting me to think about how this affects it.

Also the info of "Bill shock", its something I didn't know about, but comes as no surprise. My point is that platform providers should be all solar powered, so as to offer their services for free, like ChatGPT, then they have the capability to scale up their power capability by using money-fuel tree architecture to make revenue from solar, which they could actually give out to users as an incentive to use their services, rather than charging folk to use them. All of this is part of reversing the energy flow through humanity as needed to remove our dependence from energy extracted from the planet.

On maybe a more philosophical note - an advantage of this change happening, is that valuable data on servers won't be wiped, just because somebody gave up paying bills, it will get to be permanent, regardless of who pays for it - it will be maintained by the energy of the sun.
