    Yeah, for those of you that don’t know your ass from your elbow, these systems are predicted to reach 1 gigawatt per data center up from 50 to 75MW, 100 at the peak. So a 10 to 20 times increase in power, now, I don’t know where you think we’re going to get 10 to 20 times. More power for every single built data center, but you’re smoking crack if you think it’s reasonable.

    Not only that, but there’s this little issue we’ve been noticing for the past 100 years called climate change. Have you heard of it? It’s truly idiotic to consider increasing the demands of these data centers by 10 to 20 times while we’re talking about complete global catastrophe within 50 to 100 years. Monumentally stupid shit.

    And then, of course, we have the people that don’t understand how electronics work. People that might drive by and say will reduce the amount of power these systems need. No, we won’t. We will reduce the amount of joules per operation, but will increase the number of operations drastically. Thereby, causing the power demand to increase. These numbers aren’t for me, they’re from actual industry insiders designing the far future generations of these products.

    Nice attempt with a snark, you’ve proven. You don’t know what you’re talking about. Thank you for playing.

      As I said, yes, it uses electricity. You realize that there are ways to generate electricity that don’t contribute to global warming? We’re going to need to be switching to those methods anyway.
