RT Chamath Palihapitiya (@chamath)The big problem with this graph is that as AI gets reduced to computation power, it further gets reduced to electricity to power the data centers that house the computation.The US is still ahead in model sophistication and quality but we are way behind on electricity generation which could catch up with us.Need to pay close attention to this and make sure we incentivize every form of electricity generation, storage, transmission and distribution. ...

This would be incredibly destructive to America!Michael Thomas (@curious_founder):The US will need ~450 GW of new electricity generation capacity by 2030 to meet rising demand from data centers, reshoring, etc.And the Senate is about to vote on a bill that could wipe out ~500 GW of potential energy generation capacity. https://t.co/BqUDmaKYqQ ...

Solar power in China will exceed ALL sources of electricity combined in the USA in 3 to 4 years. Wake up call.Jesse Peltan (@JessePeltan):Solar in China generated ~1/3 as much as *all* U.S. generation last month.And it’s doubling every 2 years. https://t.co/skslDrrJKX ...

Actually, humanity is only about 1% of the way towards a Type I civilization.We could generate at least 2 orders of magnitude more electricity than we do now.Rui Huang (@RuiHuang_art):Type I: A civilization capable of harnessing and utilizing all the energy available on its home planet, including all forms of renewable and non-renewable energy (e.g., solar, wind, geothermal, fossil fuels). This would require global cooperation and advanced technology to manage ...
