The reality is the correlation between human progress and energy consumption is really, really high over a very long time period.
So if we can find a way to unlock new generation, clean generation as nuclear, and locate that more at the source and enable more compute on a distributed basis, all those use cases we just discussed become easier, more fluid, faster, and then you get that...
positive flywheel around Jevons Paradox and demand.
Yeah, it is.
And Jensen coins the term, the data center is the new computer.
So you need to step back and you say, right, this big building is essentially the old desktop PC we had under our desk at home.
Yeah.
You go, right, how does that work?
So all the cabling, the latency, the number of hops between each GPU, how they talk to each other, the fabric around InfiniBand, Ethernet, it's absolutely critical because every millisecond matters in terms of performance of that cluster.
Yeah, I mean, it's very hard to argue with Elon.
He's been very right on a number of things for a very long time.
I think sitting here today, it feels exceptionally difficult given the cost of moving things to space, the challenges around radiation.
There's a huge amount of engineering challenges, but that's never scared Elon before.
So this was one of the big myths that we had to bust when we started this business, because everyone said,
Data centers must be located close to population centers, metropolitan areas.
Latency is really important.
And we say, yeah, that's right.
Latency is important.
But the reality is in the US, Texas especially, there is fiber everywhere underneath the ground.
Lots and lots and lots of it.
