Going out on a limb here: Is AI really an efficiency and productivity increasing device if we have to *checks notes... have an energy breakthrough to be able to functionally use it?

It sounds to me like rich people are admitting it actually takes more resources to support AI than it does fucking workers who already exist and don't need a fucking energy breakthrough to function.

"There's no way to get there without a breakthrough," he said. "It motivates us to go invest more in fusion."

Seriously.
