AI is either boiling the planet or about to save it. It depends on who you ask. So who's right? Both sides have numbers and logic. But they sit on different boundaries, timescales and definitions. And then there's everything the numbers don't cover: who's responsible for the energy, who decides what a data center is allowed to use, what all that land is for. We're spending the evening getting the

Most organizations are no longer experimenting with AI - they are trying to scale it. And this is where things start to break.
