The eventual state of this is the computer's running all business processes, right?

So you have an agent to do this, an agent to do this, an agent to do this, an agent to do this, and you concatenate them together, and they speak language among each other.

They typically speak English language.

So there's a real limit in energy.

I'll give you an example.

There's one calculation, and I testified on this this week in Congress, that we need another 90 gigawatts of power in America.

My answer, by the way, is think Canada, right?

Nice people, full of hydroelectric power, but that's apparently not the political mood right now.

Sorry.

So 90 gigawatts is 90 nuclear power plants in America.

Not happening.

We're building zero.

How are we going to get all that power?

This is a major, major national issue.

You can use the Arab world, which is busy building five to 10 gigawatts of data centers.

India is considering a 10-gigawatt data center.

To understand how big gigawatts are is think cities per data center.

That's how much power these things need.

And people look at it and they say,

There's lots of algorithmic improvements, and you will need less power.
