SAM ALTMAN SAYS AI USING TOO MUCH ENERGY, WILL REQUIRE BREAKTHROUGH ENERGY SOURCE

Summary from the TLDR newsletter

It's no secret that AI models require astronomical amounts of electricity to run. Experts estimate that the industry could soon use as much electricity as an entire country. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman is looking for cheaper energy alternatives. Future models will require even more power to the degree that they'll need a whole new power source. Altman has already invested around $375 million in a nuclear fusion company.
