This might be the most relatable AI story in your inbox today: workers hit “generate,” feel productive, and send off polished junk. It's called workslop and it’s quietly draining billions in lost time and trust. Also, we break down the fake energy panic around AI data centers, and why America might be building power plants we don’t even need.

We’ll talk about:

• What “AI workslop” is and why it’s wrecking your team’s flow
• The real cost: $9M lost per year per company (and reputations trashed)
• The AI Energy Apocalypse myth and how inflated projections are fueling a fossil-fuel spree
• The difference between AI “passengers” and “pilots” and how to be the second one
