Electricity. Lots and lots of electricity.
Look at that, it didn’t require a whole-ass article.

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!
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 –
- more chips for ai
- develop own chip to decrease reliance on Nvidia
- 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.
