One of the more underreported topics regarding 'AI' is the massive amount of power they consume.
I work for an electric utility that a few years ago was in talks of having another merger, just a couple years after the last, to give an idea of how thin things were.
Now? Said company will be adding gigawatts of additional generation over the next 5-10 years, multiple new large plants, almost solely because of this phenomena. Population growth has been static in this region, and no major plants have been shuttered, the growth is almost solely due to this crap.
But see, that's just the market forces building the infrastructure like they're supposed to.
And in a couple years when someone drives a truck full of ANFO into the datacenter and turns it into a crater the size of Rhode Island, that'll just be the market forces correcting themselves and then we just won't need to have rolling brownouts, right?
