Who could have possibly foreseen this?
It’s almost as if we don’t have the infrastructure to make everything powered by neural networks. It’s almost like the companies that have been investing over $600 billion dollars in data centers failed to consider the time and resources required to overhaul civilisation. It’s almost as if this whole AI thing is all hype and no bite…
As Bloomberg explains, the main pinchpoint is electrical components. Things like transformers, switchgears, batteries. China’s increased its output but its not nearly enough to meet the demands.
Before 2020 delivery of transformers took 24 to 30 months, now it takes up to five years. That’s err, that’s too long.
I’m also slightly confused because can’t the transformers just go into plane mode and fly over here and that would be quicker, right?
And of course we’re not even talking about Iran’s impact on energy and of course we’re not even talking about the massive tariffs on China affecting the supply chain here.
So much for the promised new electrical grid that the tech world has been promising. So much for nuclear power. So much for my AI girlfriend, I guess I’ll just have to put her down now…
