We keep hearing these fantastic predictions concerning AI. We are told that AGI is feasible within 2-3 years. My question is this, how do we power these energy hogs? Our power grid is dated and fragile. Nearly every new power project will be challenged in court or stopped/delayed by some activist judge. China is on lining hundreds of new power plants. AI is an existential threat if we are on the wrong end of it.

You should rewatch the matrix.

With your tax dollars, of course.

Two great answers. Keep em coming!

Sounds like a Holly Ridge problem if you ask me

Let's fricking get it over with. I'm sick of answering emails.

Only in the most optimistic timelines is that true. Most say decades or more if it is even achievable.

That’s actually not true it frick it, say it anyway

This is a perfect time to use AI to get an answer to your question. There are many solutions.

I have to figure out my AGI yearly.

When are the life-like sex robots arriving?

Nuclear plants for now. That way AI has plenty of places to explode to wipe us out.
If we actually get real AGI, you will actually see real improvements in energy efficiencies. That is what AI is supposed to do, figure complex problems with solutions we cannot see yet.

We are just waiting for Realdoll and Grok to get linked to together.

Those LA projects might be on hold and even if they do get completed Entergy is gonna fleece it's customers!
Investors and developers are putting financing decisions on hold as they try to determine how much more their projects will cost to complete, partially due to tariffs and other economic uncertainties.
About 28% of planned wind, solar and battery projects have been delayed or canceled, according to an Atlas Public Policy analysis of government energy data. Delays and cancellations had been growing but recently accelerated, according to the data, which provides a snapshot of existing and planned power generation across the country. Only about 10% of projects, or 12,000 megawatts, were delayed or canceled in 2022.
Efforts to build natural-gas-fired power plants face similar challenges—wait times for turbines can stretch beyond three years.
While many companies say AI could be transformational for business, searches on AI platforms can use sometimes 10 times the amount of energy as a single Google search. Trends suggest that by 2030, data centers for training the largest AI models will require more than five gigawatts of electricity—or roughly enough to power about 5,000 Walmart stores.

The guy I heard in the ai business said by the end of the decade with general ai. That same person has now said it ain’t happening because the advancement has kinda plateaued. Better processing power is not the problem I was told they need better math.

Grok certainly answered several questions with wrong information, of mine.

It doesn't just lie, it completely fabricates information, and not just meaningless shite. ChatGPT has been caught multiple times fabricating scientific studies/research and attributing it to real people in related fields. Sometimes it even gives fake links that don't lead to the cited info when questioned.
I've seen Grok argue that clearly fake shite is real, and when challenged it doubled and tripled down.
