We're all going to be paying AI's Godzilla-sized power bills https://www.theregister.com/2025/10/13/ai_power_bills/ via @theregister & @sjvn

#AI needs far more power than utility companies have to sell to them, which means we're stuck with the bill for building new power plants and grids.

@sjvn @theregister "… the training phase of a state-of-the-art AI model requires repeated adjustment of billions to trillions of parameters. That process alone requires thousands of GPUs running simultaneously for weeks or months at a time. Adding insult to injury, each of those special AI chips draws far more juice than your run-of-the-mill CPU."
