Been scrolling through some tech discussions lately, and there’s one topic that keeps popping up that’s got me both fascinated and a bit concerned. The latest AI power grab - literally. We’re talking about companies racing to build data centers that consume more electricity than entire countries. One terawatt of power. That’s roughly a third of global energy usage, just for training AI models.

The comparison that really stuck with me was someone pointing out that the smartest human brain on the planet runs on about 100 watts. Meanwhile, we’re building these massive computational behemoths that could power small nations, all in the pursuit of artificial intelligence that might - might - be as clever as that 100-watt human brain.
