Staying Current in AI80%
OpenAI and Nvidia announced a 10 Gigawatt data center. Elon Musk predicts we'll need 1 Terawatt for AGI. The AI revolution is hitting an energy wall, so I spent 9 hours inside Copenhagen Atomics filming the nuclear reactors designed to power the future of AI. This is Episode 1 of Infrastructure Wars.
⚡ IN THIS EPISODE:
- The AI energy crisis explained
- Inside a molten salt reactor startup
- How one shipping container powers 20,000 GPUs
- The technology abandoned in the 1960s, now resurrected
- Why this could solve AI's biggest bottleneck
