Electricity. Lots and lots of electricity.

Look at that, it didn’t require a whole-ass article.

The lifeblood is copyright infringement and privacy invasion

Alternate topic: how angry will people get when I call this clickbait and refuse to go find out what the big mysterious secret of AI is?

… Click here (and probably scroll past some ads, if you don’t have a blocker) to find out the simple one-word answer!

Article is paywalled - maybe someone with an account can paste the text.

Applications such as Chatgpt and DALL-E have captured the world’s imagination, but ai companies are focused on something else.

This can be improved. the author’s point is that 3 of the things that the tech world is focused on now are –

1. more chips for ai
2. develop own chip to decrease reliance on Nvidia
3. higher demand for electricity due to the ai boom

But the tech world is focused on making better ai chatbots and pic generators too.

Anyway, 👍 article. I learned that Nvidia is the backbone of the ai boom.

Chip components have been getting tinier. I hope ways to work with or around the quantum behaviors will be discovered.

I hope there’ll be more research re higher-output (megawatt) renewable energy plants and cheaper renewable energy.
