  The binding constraint on AI is not chips but the physical plant around them — power, transformers, cooling and networking.

  Their words

  Consensus estimate is that ~15GW of AI compute produced in 2027 cannot be turned on in 2027. This is harder than just finding power, as you also need to build out all the transformers, wiring, liquid-cooling, (massive) chillers & complex networking.

  Airliner design has not progressed in fifty years — the newest jet is no faster and makes the world no more accessible than the one that opened the jet age.

  Their words

  But if we fast forward half a century, this is the 787, their latest airliner, which by the way was launched more than 20 years ago. You can't spot the difference. It doesn't fly any faster. It doesn't make the world any more accessible.

  Mitsubishi air conditioning

  Their words

  LG or Mitsubishi air conditioning in EVERY room, both cooling/heating, every unit should have its own outdoor unit, or you get annoying things like you can't cool one room and heat the other at same time! I think they're called mono splits

  Trauma

  Their words

  So there have been lots of studies where they've done cooling hypothermia in people after traumatic brain injuries and concussions hasn't really shown much of an effect. What seems to be important is preventing hyperothermia.

  The frontier of new physics is not high-energy particle physics or quantum gravity, but the problems of life and intelligence.

  energyTrauma

  Their words

  I think for me, the frontier in modern physics, where the new physics lies is not in high energy particle physics, it’s not in quantum gravity, it’s not in any of these sort of traditionally sold, “This is going to be the newest deepest insight we have into the nature of reality.” It is going to be in studying the problems of life and intelligence and the things that are sort of also our current existential crises as a civilization or a culture that’s going through an existential trauma of inventing technologies that we don’t understand right now.

  Air cooling has run out of headroom for AI racks, so liquid cooling is now a requirement rather than an upgrade.

  Their words

  Conventional air cooling is likely limited to around 20 to 30 kilowatt racks, perhaps 50 kilowatts if rear heat exchangers are used.

  The efficiency gains that kept data-centre electricity use flat for a decade are largely spent, so new demand now arrives as new power demand.

  Their words

  But many of these gains have already been achieved: the best data centers already use just 10% of their electricity for cooling and other non-IT equipment.
