And so it starts.

Apparently Google, which purchased an AI company a while back, is starting to use an AI to lessen power usage in one of its facilities. Here's a graph of what the AI is doing.

Here's some of the article.

DeepMind used historical data -- such as temperatures, power and pump speeds -- that had already been collected by thousands of sensors in its data centers and used it to train the A.I.'s neural networks on the average future PUE (Power Usage Effectiveness), "which is defined as the ratio of the total building energy usage to the IT energy usage."

Additional neural networks were then used to predict the future temperature and pressure of data center in order to recommend actions.

"Our machine learning system was able to consistently achieve a 40% reduction in the amount of energy used for cooling, which equates to a 15% reduction in overall PUE after accounting for electrical losses and other non-cooling inefficiencies. It also produced the lowest PUE the site had ever seen," Google said.

Imagine if this kind of knowledge is applied to more and more facilities. Even a reduction of 15% overall would be a tremendous achievement.

Are you there yet, AI?

Oh how the mighty fall.

Ailes is being fired from Fox for sexual harassment. Couldn't happen to a nicer guy.

Except maybe for this guy.
