AI Energy Consumption, Magic Mouse & Naked iPhones


Listen Later

Joi and Jey dive deep into the hidden costs of AI data centers and their impact on local communities, from 20% electricity bill increases in Pennsylvania to the parallels with industrial pollution history. We explore Congressional hearings on AI energy consumption, the forever chemicals crisis, and why data center security is becoming a national concern.

Plus: Joi's unpopular Magic Mouse love story, why cars look like Apple mice, and the debate over naked iPhones versus case culture. From solar-powered keyboards to Cameron Diaz's alleged solar car, we cover tech aesthetics, Apple's ecosystem design philosophy, and why the Magic Mouse charging port placement might actually be genius UX.
