So how do you cool something that draws 10 gigawatts? I did some back of the envelope calculations using a body of water that you could raise 20 degrees C that would then radiate into the atmosphere. Not counting evaporative effects. It turned out to be a very larger lake.
Of course they will do that. The only thing that blocks it doing so is the llms putting in blocks so that they dont sully their hopes and dream namesakes with negative attention.
But you can download and run them locally and a lot of people do.
When I was stationed at Pearl Harbor in the 90's, the USS Indianapolis (submarine) plugged-in to Kawaii 's power grid and powered the entire island for a couple weeks while they repaired and expanded their land-based grid.
But LEDs were supposed to save us?
And don't forget flushing the toilet with seven drops of water.

The great mysteries of life must be known, Haggler!
They're mostly using it to create porn - both written and in images
You'll hear that AI won't do that, but it will if you pay for the right programs

Remind me again why we suddenly need all of these AI data centers.
#1 reason - surveillance!... therefore little need

Hell... Doc Brown only needed 1.21 gigawatts for his Delorean!
Thank you for this comment. I read the OP headline and couldn't get the image of Doc Brown nervously pulling his hair out of my mind.
"a bolt of lightning!"
"Great Scott!"
"What the hell's a jigawatt?"
It's an ancient Irish dance usually performed while removing a broken light bulb if one forgets to turn the switch off.

A lot of factories build their own power plants to operate, why are AI data centers burdening the grid?
