involved in power generation.

It's not all variable.

So when you're able to amortize those fixed costs over a greater supply, you bring down the meter rate for everybody.

And so there's huge economies of scale.

So the more scale you get in electricity, like most other things, the price comes down.

So it's actually a good thing that

the that we have this build out going on because it will ultimately reduce prices for consumers.

But we do have to make sure that these new data centers aren't just plugging into the grid and using they have to be contributing back.

Inside America's AI Strategy: Infrastructure, Regulation, and Global Competition

Well, it's interesting.

All-In with Chamath, Jason, Sacks & Friedberg
Inside America's AI Strategy: Infrastructure, Regulation, and Global Competition

I think there's been an evolution.

All-In with Chamath, Jason, Sacks & Friedberg
Inside America's AI Strategy: Infrastructure, Regulation, and Global Competition

So I think we started with AI chatbots like ChatGPT.

All-In with Chamath, Jason, Sacks & Friedberg
Inside America's AI Strategy: Infrastructure, Regulation, and Global Competition

And in a sense, that was kind of like better web search.

All-In with Chamath, Jason, Sacks & Friedberg
Inside America's AI Strategy: Infrastructure, Regulation, and Global Competition

It was really great for research.

All-In with Chamath, Jason, Sacks & Friedberg

You could ask it questions and give you answers to anything.

Then we saw models at Chain of Thought, and they could start to do deeper reasoning.

All-In with Chamath, Jason, Sacks & Friedberg

Then we saw coding assistance.

All-In with Chamath, Jason, Sacks & Friedberg
Inside America's AI Strategy: Infrastructure, Regulation, and Global Competition

And I think over the past few months, there's been a real breakthrough.

All-In with Chamath, Jason, Sacks & Friedberg
Inside America's AI Strategy: Infrastructure, Regulation, and Global Competition

If you talk to people, software developers, it really seems like there's been a major shift and just improvement in the quality of the coding assistance.

All-In with Chamath, Jason, Sacks & Friedberg
Inside America's AI Strategy: Infrastructure, Regulation, and Global Competition

And I think where that's going next is tools for knowledge workers.

So the same types of assistants that have been outputting code can now output
