Remember they have a lot of data centres planned. This is just the start. 8% of aviation emissions is huge. We should be shrinking that number ASAP, not growing it.
This and also the models are growing and, assuming it will be achieved, AGI will require even more energy.
They won’t achieve it and they’re going to sunk cost the global economy into a nosedive.
