The Need for an Independent AI Grid

pitcock

The tech exists - peer-to-peer GPU compute. Plenty of options, many already in deployment. I don’t think you need a dedicated power grid any more than you would for say refrigerators. Beyond mongering of various types I don’t get the energy consumption take. For example the idea that AI consumes rare earths isn’t true lmao that’s batteries. Saw that in the article :/

Everyone should get subsidies for their home electric usage from these data centers
