> Google is pretty useful. It uses 15 TWh per year.
15TWh per year is about 1.7GW.
Assuming the above figures, that means OpenAI and Nvidia new plan will consume about 5.8 Googles worth of power, by itself.
At that scale, there's a huge opportunity for ultra-low-power AI compute chips (compared with current GPUs), and right now there are several very promising technology pathways to it.

Sharing an example would be nice. Of how much power reduction are we talking here?
You're downvoted but it's a real threat. Imagine hackers or state sponsored entities use one of these mega data centers to destroy a few cryptocurrencies.
