Fascinating 30 minute documentary on AI Datacentres - what they are, why they are different from traditional datacentres and what the race to AGI is going to mean for us all: big tech will become big energy, at a scale surpassing most countries. NB: Datacentre diversion of energy output from residential needs is also going to increase energy bills, as an aside. NBB: all this costs billions for so far, relatively little commercial return.
