Three at the latest.

Well, the availability of energy is the issue.

So, I mean, if you look at electrical output outside of China, everywhere outside of China, it's more or less flat.

It's very, you know, maybe a slight increase, but pretty much flat.

China has a rapid increase in electrical output.

But if you're putting data centers anywhere except China, where are you going to get your electricity, especially as you scale?

The output of chips is growing pretty much exponentially, but the output of electricity is flat.

So how are you going to turn the chips on?

Magical electricity fairies?

How far into the singularity are you?

You tell me.

Yeah, exactly.

So I think we'll find we're in the singularity and like, oh, OK, we've still got a long way to go.

It's harder to scale on ground than it is to scale in space.

But also, you're going to get about five times the effectiveness of solar panels in space versus the ground.

And you don't need batteries.

Right.

I almost wore my other shirt, which says it's always sunny in space, which it is.

Because you don't have a day-night cycle or seasonality clouds or an atmosphere in space, because the atmosphere alone results in about a 30% loss of energy.

Any given solar panels can do about five times more power in space than on the ground.
