Texas is subsidizing $10 billion worth of new fossil fuel plants, citing new demand caused by climate change and population growth.
But in reality, much of the new demand is coming from supercomputers for AI and crypto.
Guess where the new plants will be placed:

The big models do not run on computers that are like your laptop. They are specialist and extremely expensive machines, not just because they are running *so many* requests at once, but because running *any* requests on models that large requires what are functionally supercomputers

There is a zero chance that Anthropic's most capable models will be able to extract their own model and run in the wild, because those supercomputers essentially only exist in datacenters. For all practical purposes those models can't run on normal computers, even distributed regular computers

Modern supercomputers require about 20 million watts to perform the same amount of computation as one human brain. The human brain requires about 20 watts.
Don't tell me AIs are cheaper than human beings.
They only look cheap because they get more subsidies than any thing else in human history.

The AI cult redux:
1. Nvidia makes graphics cards (GPUs) that are essentially very fast numerical supercomputers.
2. Bitcoin/blockchain happened. To "earn" BtC you have to crunch lots of numbers as fast as possible.
3. People bought so many GPU cards that there was a global shortage ...
