Well, shit. But at least there's this:

It’s also far from clear that the tech industry will prove to be as hungry for fossil fuel power as some predict. First, advances in AI technology could drive energy consumption down. Concerns are emerging that the technology may not fully live up to the hype, at least from investors’ standpoints, with Alibaba Group chairman Joe Tsai telling a Hong Kong investment summit in March that data construction may have already reached “the beginning of some kind of bubble.” Plus, the Trump tariffs have injected extraordinary levels of uncertainty into global markets, leaving some experts wondering if the upheaval could derail an AI boom.

AI hype could certainly be derailed if you need to start an independent baseless hype in dozens of separate countries instead of just having the hype as a cultural export of the US.

It doesn’t even have to be a derailed boom, but simply

  • a maturity transition where the dilettantes fall out, concentrating on the biggest players
  • more efficiency. There’s been a ton of research on efficiency and that’s a great profit multiplier so will be rapidly taken up
