So the estimates I've seen is that to stand up one gigawatt of AI compute costs about $50 billion in capital, land, power, shell, chips, everything, all in around 50 billion.
Do you have to front all of that money when you create a new data center?
Or how much of it do you do?
How much of it can you get debt for?
Does 100 billion raise only get you two gigawatts?
Or does it get you five?
Like, what does it get you?
Jason, I'm pretty sure you believed you were the vicar of God before the encyclical.
So this is nothing new for you.
Sacks, you wanted to jump in there?
With respect to new college grads, I was going to say that I think the single most marketable skill in the economy right now has got to be proficiency and clod.
If you're going into a firm right now and you're the only one who knows Claude, it would be like you're the only one who knows how to work a spreadsheet or a word processor.
The advantage would be enormous.
Now, I think that's probably a short-term arbitrage because eventually everyone's going to have to figure out how to use these tools.
But as a young college graduate right now, you have such an advantage if you're an AI native, right?
just knowing how to use these tools.
And this thought partially occurred to me when I saw what our producer, Nick, has been doing with using Cloud for, you know, he's been creating this daily briefing document.
Apparently, I didn't know this thing existed.
Well, I thought it would just be AI slop and it would just kind of give me a roundup of news that I was getting in my X feed anyway.
But actually, the thing that was really impressive about it was that it predicted topics that I would specifically be interested in based on my previous comments on the pod.
