If their mission is destined to destroy our power grid, they should be the ones paying to update it. Americans cant afford to pay extortionate electricity bills just for all these ai data centers that nobody asked for.

There's more things that will slow down the AI craze. The chips and data centers built in 2025 alone will incur $40B in depreciation annually, for example, while generating somewhere in the ballpark of $20B. I don't see that math changing for the better anytime soon
