  • The Entire Spectrum

    I can’t recommend this podcast enough for people interested in learning how to use AI and the effects this technology is having on the US economy and our daily lives. That’s where NLW deserves the most credit - episodes are more than just useful, insightful, and current - they cover a broad range of high level topics and detailed AI/agentic how-to guides. Therefore this is the only podcast you need to become an expert on using AI and also see the big picture of its impact.

  • Data center locations

    Can data centers be placed far away from neighborhoods and populated areas?

    Data centers could be placed in locations where they won’t compete with communities for water and electricity.

    They should be far from cities so they don’t create noise or air pollution near neighborhoods.

    Why can’t these data centers be placed out in the middle of nowhere?
