Viewing enriched Twitter post
AI is forcing the debate about energy and infrastructure. As hyperscale data centers expand, critics argue they are pushing up electricity demand and prices. Tech companies say they will absorb the costs or invest in alternative energy, but the long-term economics remain unclear. In the end, the real AI race may not be about models or chips, but about who can secure and finance the massive energy needed to run them. https://t.co/cxIXvAfDl1 @CNBC
