The crisis they created by chasing gains with no regard to efficiency.

Edit: I just have to add this is typical capitalist behavior. They are chasing gains at with no regard to the consequences it will have on the public. And now here we are and these CEOs are starting to lobby that the public needs to do something about the electric grid that THEY have overstressed in their pursuit of profit.

Privatize profits, socialize costs, the American Capitalist way.

The power grid crisis that your AIs cause?

Funny that decades of the GOP sabotaging progress on renewable energy like solar and wind, and torpedoing research into modernizing the power grid - specifically because it would make deploying renewable easier, will end up helping to hand the lead of possibly the most consequential industry of the 21st century over to China.

It's a crisis because they want somebody else to pay for it, especially if the AI bubble would pop and all that infrastructure left would stay their responsibility and sunk cost.

If AI is so smart, why don't we just ask it to fix the power grid crisis?
