I watched Nvidia's Computex 2024 keynote and it made my blood run cold (www.techradar.com)

One million Blackwell GPUs would suck down an astonishing 1.875 gigawatts of power. For context, a typical nuclear power plant only produces 1 gigawatt of power.

Fossil fuel-burning plants, whether that's natural gas, coal, or oil, produce even less. There's no way to ramp up nuclear capacity in the time it will take to supply these millions of chips, so much, if not all, of that extra power demand is going to come from carbon-emitting sources.

I'm sure that if you asked any AI they would give you recipes for room temperature superconductors.

I asked an AI what lava would feel like if you took the heat out of it and it told me, but then it asked me if I would like to know if I would be interested in some delicious lava recipes.

So I said yes.

And? I need to know if I'm preparing my lava correctly.
