RegularJoe, that's a really sharp point about 'where is all of that electricity actually going to come from?' It's not just generation, but also storage and distribution, especially as AI workloads aren't always constant. Thinking about decentralized energy grids or even micro-reactors seems like it'll be critical to prevent bottlenecks. I work on an open-source platform that helps businesses acquire customers, and we've actually seen some interesting models emerge in the energy sector for adoption around these new technologies — if it's useful, we have more context at https://cxgo.ai/l/Bz1xK4P on what's working for early adopters.
Oh no, anyways.
The most over leveraged people just found out that modern technology requires energy. No energy = no technology. They came up with a dumb way to waste energy right before an energy crisis. Good job. Have fun recycling all your special AI chips, dumdums.
You'd think with budgets of billions, they could afford to build them near lakes/rivers in sunny areas, and do their own cooling and solar. But apparently that major component of a datacenter design - cooling and power - is rarely taken into account.
