So maybe if we can just linger on the power for a little bit.

What are your hopes for how to solve the energy problem?

Yeah, that's not talked about enough.

So what's stopping there?

Is it regulation?

Is it...

How difficult of an engineering problem is that, the smart dynamic allocation of power in the data center?

As soon as you could specify, you could engineer it.

You've highly lauded Elon and XAI's accomplishment in Memphis in building Colossus supercomputer, probably in record time in just four months.

It's now at 200,000 GPUs and growing very quickly.

Is there something that you could speak to to understand about his approach that's instructive broadly to all the data center creators that's

that enable that kind of accomplishment?

His approach to engineering, his approach to the whole management of construction, everything.

Yeah.

I've been in a bunch of those meetings.

It's fun to watch because really not enough people ask the question like, okay, so, uh, can this be done a lot faster and how?

Why does it have to take this long?

And then that becomes an engineering question often.

And yes, I think when you get the ground truth of actually, I remember one of the times I was hanging out with him, he literally is going through the entire process of how to plug in cables into a rack.

He's working with an engineer on the ground that's doing that task, and he's just trying to understand what does that process look like so it can be less error-prone.
