The more AI we use, the more energy we need.
- Intelligence becomes a function of electricity.
''An electron is an electron. Eventually, the cost of intelligence, the cost of AI, will converge to the cost of energy, and if it'll be how much you can have, the abundance of it will be limited by the abundance of energy.''
- Sam Altman
As AI advances, everything else gets cheaper. Robots will manufacture chips. Networks will optimize themselves. Models will build better models. And AI will keep improving itself.
So the bottleneck won’t be compute.
It’ll be power.
Even if AI helps us ''reinvent'' how we generate energy, it’ll never eliminate the fact that energy is the ceiling. Infinite intelligence? Only with infinite power.
The smartest investment in AI? Might be the next energy breakthrough.
