Seems like the solution is pretty obvious. Just make AI a paid-only service and if necessary raise the price enough that only commercially important stuff is viable.

not sure what this “solves” as it’s not like the power is being given away now and it can be safely assumed that ai cos. aren’t going to pay for it out of the goodness of their hearts forever. regardless, “let’s make sure this unprecedentedly game-changing technology can only be used by those with capital and access” is a pretty shit solution, especially paired with “also let’s make sure energy demand externalities will be borne by the poor.”

Sam Altman said a few months ago that just the question marks people put at the end of prompts and words like “please” at the beginning were costing them tens of millions in electricity. Making it a solely paid service would certainly have an impact, but at what cost to the user??

Wtf kind of question is this, lol. It will cost money just like every other good and service in the economy. It already costs money if you're doing anything that matters other than idle chatter. Every professional who uses AI is already paying for it

yeah this is america fortunately we can just build natural gas plants. it does give chinese companies a leg up though that the government basically subsidizes this for them (just with solar and coal)

nuclear power plants take too long to build and top few people know how to build them

natural gas is the best short term option and solar is the best long term

China added the equivalent of UK+France's entire electric capacity in solar capacity last year. So no, we'll have to wait a couple decades for all the various lobbyist machines to really get going.

i feel like 'AI power crunch' is being set up as a cover story for a return to nuclear energy. which is fine; we should never have abandoned nuclear in the first place.

Yeah it will happen though its 180. They'll frame it as "green transition" or "energy independence" but underneath the impulse is transparent: they feel the machines HUNGER. They are building granaries for the machine so they can continue to worship it.
