Chris Martenson at Peak Prosperity piqued my curiosity about the power and energy demands of AI. In Ireland, at a time with energy bills rocketing for the average citizen, datacentres now consume 21% of all electricity output, surpassing the amount consumed by urban households. Zuckerberg's AI datacentre concepts supposedly would require several new nuclear power stations to operate.
I wonder if part of the reason the average person is being psyopped into accepting a lower standard of living - as dictated by climate alarmism and carbon neutral goals etc - is to reserve all this extra power for AI systems. And since limits on energy restrict how many serious AI competitors can even exist within the industry, the govt wants the only ones in existence to be its own controlled and weaponised pets.
