We are turning energy into non-biological Intelligence. Data centers are literally 'factories' that produce Intelligence. Electricity is the essential input. The electricity powers computation, and the computation produces and processes the tokens through which machine Intelligence operates. As these systems become more capable and autonomous, they consume vastly more...

Electricity demand was essentially flat for decades. Now it’s exploding. Heron Power CEO Drew Baglino: "Energy efficiency more or less negated the growth in energy services." "The net electricity delivered to accomplish those energy services stayed basically flat." "Even with all the AI things that are going on… And that has allowed more and more compute capability for the same percentage of GDP electricity production." "It's changing now that we can find more applications for AI than ever before." "We are seeing electricity growth higher than it's ever been before." "It's because we are seeing broad based demand for more electricity — compute, transportation, industrial electrification." Drew Baglino Heron Power Electronics

"I think one of the truths is that the demand for AI intelligence and smarter AI intelligence is going to be insatiable. Some people disagree that once we reach certain thresholds then you don't need more intelligence. To that I ask people, 'Have you ever worked with or managed someone in a work environment and wouldn't press a button to make them smarter?'" George elaborates on his thesis that the demand for smarter AI intelligence will only increase over time even as models get more powerful. George Cameron

These three IIT Madras scientists are insane. Their startup Sthyr Energy is literally turning electricity into metal. Which you can keep for months and turn it back into electricity when you need it. And this is incredibly huge. Let's break this down. Right now, India alone generates enough renewable energy to power countries like France. But we can either use it as soon as its generated or its lost forever. Because no one has figured out a way to store electricity for more than a few hours at scale. If Sthyr's solution works - we won't just be able to store it for years but we could also transport it on roads - without creating any new infrastructure. And it would change how the world uses electricity forever.

Liquid AI (Liquid AI) CEO Ramin Hasani (Ramin) says: "We're bringing the cost of tokens to zero." "The axis was maximizing intelligence at all costs." Foundation models need to optimize across 3 axes: 1.) Intelligence and capability 2.) Efficiency and cost 3.) Substrate: where the intelligence actually runs "Efficiency is not an afterthought. Energy is not abundant." "If you maximize intelligence at all costs, that axis alone is not going to get you to the place that you want to go." "Efficiency and cost of intelligence as a first-class citizen, and not an afterthought." "Where does this intelligence system go? AI is majorly getting hosted in data centers, but you could also bring intelligence on phones, on laptops, on airplanes, on cars." "Imagine if it's not tokens that are actually important. It's just the outcome that actually matters." "Not just thinking about foundation models as the token machines that are generating money and revenue for the foundation model companies that are useless tokens, and getting them into the place where they can actually unlock true value for enterprises."

Is uranium the future of AI? As demand for cloud computing and AI models continues to explode, the real bottleneck is becoming power. That’s what led me to start looking at nuclear energy and uranium. Small modular reactors could become a major part of the solution, and if AI keeps demanding more electricity, the commodities that power that infrastructure could become just as important as the chips themselves.

ELON MUSK: The future is fundamentally AI and Robots. “Our AI revenue will exceed all other SpaceX revenue probably in September, like next month, and will significantly exceed all other SpaceX revenue in the fourth quarter. So, AI has become an extremely important part of SpaceX’s future. I think it’s actually vital that we succeed in AI, not just in hardware, but also in software. So, yeah, the future is fundamentally AI and robots. Assuming civilization continues to progress, I think that AI will probably, the amount of digital intelligence will probably be more than a trillion times the amount of biological intelligence. So, not sort of equal to human intelligence, but probably a trillion times higher. I’d say a billion times higher than the amount of artificial intelligence that we have today. I’d say a billion times is an easy prediction, and probably a trillion. So, as you harness more and more of the sun’s energy, the ability to turn that into intelligence is fundamentally a digital computer thing, because it’s pretty hard for humans to go live in deep space without any support. I mean, some of the math is interesting to think about, which is that if you increased civilizational energy usage, the amount of energy that we have harnessed as a civilization by a factor of a million, you would still be using much less than one millionth of the sun’s energy. Now, most of this is in deep space, obviously, but the future is very much AI, very much, and I suppose it was always going to be that way. But it’s important that we have an AI that cares about humanity, that fosters humanity and helps take us to other planets and other star systems, and this is why I think it’s essential that SpaceX succeed, not just with AI hardware, but also with AI software.”

Iran’s President Masoud Pezeshkian: The enemy is attacking our infrastructure and putting us under siege so that people become dissatisfied. We currently do not need the people's sacrifice, but we request that people reduce electricity and energy consumption. For example, at home instead of having 10 lights on, let 2 lights be on. What is wrong with that?

ELON MUSK: "People don't quite understand just how much intelligence there will be, or just how far it will exceed human intelligence to a degree that is impossible to fully understand, because you can totally imagine a situation where we will let's say a million times more energy is harnessed than all of Earth's current electricity usage. That would still only be roughly a millionth of the sun's energy output. So essentially, if you increase US economy by a factor of a million, is still roughly a trillion, since we're a trillionth of the sun's energy, if you increase US economy in terms of electricity usage by roughly a million, you will be roughly 1,000,000th only of the sun's energy harnessed. An economy or an intelligence using a million times more electricity than all of civilization think about or look like or do? It's going to be something pretty magnificent. It will solve everything you can possibly think of."

I don't think how much intelligence we can unlock with just the sun's energy. The outcomes are COUNTLESS! Elon: "You can certainly imagine a situation where we let's say a million times more energy is harnessed [from the sun] than all of Earth's current electricity usage. That would still only be roughly a millionth of the sun's energy output." "Essentially, if you increase the economy by a factor of a million, it's still 1 millionth only of the sun's energy harnessed. What does an economy or an intelligence using a million times more electricity than all of Earth's civilization think about, look like, or do? It's going to be something pretty magnificent."

NOW: President Trump has arrived at the EPA to announce a new AI energy initiative, making sure data centers are the ones footing the bill for their energy usage — NOT American families They'll actually be producing MORE energy than they use, driving down rates for families. "The American Innovators and consumers strive to win together because we're insisting that AI data centers and big tech companies pay THEIR OWN WAY." "They're going to have a lot of electricity left over, and they'll put that into the grid so it'll actually end up with more electricity. The rates are going to go DOWN."

🚨 JUST IN: President Trump has just announced an agreement with tech companies REQUIRING THEM to fully cover the cost of increased electricity production required for their data centers This has been a HUGE worry of Americans worried about their electric bills spiking as more and more data centers are built, so Trump stepped in. Trump says the new electricity generated from plants built by big tech firms will actually DRIVE DOWN energy prices for consumers, as excess power will go back into the grid. "This is an HISTORIC win for countless American families and will also make our electricity grids stronger and more resilient than ever before." "They will be getting a lot of excess electricity for the data centers where they build their own plants." "It's actually going to mean the prices come DOWN."

One should think about artificial intelligence, not as a destination that you reach, but really as part of the overall escalation of intelligence that we are aware of. Human intelligence has also scaled as the population has increased and we've been able to store more and more information.” Interview at the All-In Summit, September 10, 2025

$NVDA CEO Jensen Huang said demand has gone parabolic because agentic AI has arrived, AI can now do productive work and tokens are becoming profitable. If tokens are profitable then model builders have a reason to produce more of them which means more inference, more compute and more demand across networking, memory, CPUs, power and data centers. The near-term stock reaction is about expectations but long-term story is still that the AI factory buildout is running through Nvidia which is why I think it has a real path to becoming the world’s first $10T company.
