Nvidia and openAI are talking about building a 10GW data centre.
So. We gots a big number. Let's look at it.
How much is 10GW? Well the UK has a typical day time electricity consumption of ~40GW. Meaning that this one single data centre is looking to use the same amount of electricity as a quarter of the UK. In a single installation. A quarter of the electricity of the 6th largest economy in the world. A single data centre.
Or put another way. It needs power from 3x sizewell C nuclear plant.

I try to think of things to say on the fediverse, but my brain is just like, "Smash the corporations into pieces! Stock buybacks should be illegal (FRAUD)! Seize the wealth of billionaires and give it to the people they stole it from!"
It's just like that non stop, so I guess I'm pretty much a broken record at this point.
