more power output than the entire United States can generate annually

They're more than happy to create all this power to make predictive text machines, but not for actual people.

Almost 10 percent of the entire planet's GDP isn't that much.

Yeah, but that's just because "nobody wants to work"

Those sociopaths burning the planet and pumping out all the water are completely out of touch with reality. They would rather destroy the planet for some Annoying Idiocy .

Fresh groundwater is shockingly limited and slow to replenish and unlike ai slop, you'll die without it.

We have lots of water, sure, but most of it isn't drinkable without even more power being burned to make it that way.

For that, we'll need a super-AI! If only some naive rube heroic billionaire would be brave enough to fund it!

Maybe after 9 trillion fucking dollars they'll realize that it's a scam and you can't achieve AGI let alone super intelligence by throwing infinite data at an LLM.

I doubt a CEO of a bank even understands how LLMs work, or that "AIs" are LLMs.

I think these assholes should be held to their claims. In this case that means the money comes directly out of his pocket.
