And so to some extent, China's still constrained by that, but they can smuggle chips in, they can build data centers outside of China, they can rent data centers outside of China.
and have the most cost-effective Blackwell chips or whatever.
ByteDance is either the biggest or the second biggest customer of Google Cloud for a reason.
Or what's... I think that like cooling is...
The physical cooling of a data center, there's this whole narrative about AI uses so much power, and it's not really.
Farming alfalfa uses 100x the water of AI data centers.
Even by the end of the decade, it'll be the same, and alfalfa's worth very little.
People have experimented with undersea data centers to reduce the cooling cost.
That doesn't make sense.
It's like if you want to service it, like you're screwed, right?
So like the same with power.
It's like we talk a lot about like the power is not actually that expensive.
It's just hard to build, right?
Hard to get to the right place.
And hard to get to the right space and convert it down to the voltages and all the stuff that chips need.
Yeah, yeah.
Even by the end of the decade, you know, the U.S.
will be like 10% of our power will be AI data centers, which is still like... Of electricity.
But outside, like it's like in Europe, like that number's not moving up that fast and like all these other countries.
