Already 6 years old, so not even taking into account post-2022 hyperscaling, this is a sobering, very rational and well argued 20 min presentation for some cold flush reality check of the hot fever dreams of AI proponents (and all YOLO energy/resource guzzlers of any walk/standing):

Last week I made GF cardamom buns as part of my Easter dinner. But I had a first pass where I put the psyllium husk into the dry ingredients instead of the proofed yeast & milk (where it would gel). I held onto that batch of dry ingredients and salvaged it yesterday.
The buns came out well, but spread quite a lot. They still had a good texture and density, so I don’t know how much my psyllium oops was a factor.
Still learning GF yeasted baking.

Eight flattened four inch balls of dough, freshly egg washed, on a half sheet lined with parchment.
The same eight flattened balls, but now baked into flattened rolls, some having spread and made contact with one another, with a nice golden brown on their tops.
One of the baked rolls, sliced horizontally in half and buttered, sitting on a white plate with blue flowers next to a glass mug of cappuccino (with a nice, thick, white foam).
