I call upon OpenAI to build their own fucking power plants. I don't even hate OAI, but if you need more power than is available, best get to building.

Good thing we’re halting all offshore wind farm development. That surely won’t stress the grids that we’re expecting that capacity to come online in the next 5-10 years beyond their breaking point.
