In fact, no, it's not five times cheaper.

It's 10 times cheaper because you don't need any batteries.

So the moment your cost of access to space becomes low, by far the cheapest and most scalable way to generate tokens is space.

It's not even close.

It'll be an order of magnitude easier to scale and chips aside, an order of magnitude.

The point is you won't be able to scale on the ground.

You just won't.

People are going to hit the wall big time on power generation.

They already are.

So the number of miracles and series that the XAI team had to accomplish in order to get a gigawatt of power online was crazy.

We had to gang together a whole bunch of turbines.

And then we had permit issues in Tennessee and had to go across the border to Mississippi, which is fortunately only a few miles away.

But then we still had to run the high power lines a few miles and build a power plant in Mississippi.

And it was very difficult to build that.

And people don't understand how much electricity do you actually need at the generation level in order to power a data center.

Because the news will look at the power consumption of, say, a GB300 and multiply that by a thing and then think that's the amount of power you need.

All the cooling and everything.

Wake up.

Yeah, that's a total noob.

You've never done any hardware in your life before.
