I'm not sure that I'm willing to care about what multi-billionaires think any longer.

Yes and no. We shouldn’t care about these people but we need to stop them from destroying our world (which they are doing).
we need to stop them from destroying our world

Analog computers Sam, analog computers.
I'm confident that we are not using compute resources optimally today, and I bet that the potential gains on the (immature) software AI side are a lot bigger than on the (mature) power generation side.
