Marketing will give it a better name.

Did you know that Boeing first named their passenger jet the 700 series. but marketing found that 707 sounded much better. That's why we now have the famous 747 and so on.

AI development is indeed a series of S-curves and we're currently nearing the peak of the curve. It's going to be some time before the new S begins.

Everybody knew it would work. The critical part is actually "without Putin escalating with nukes."

Lots of people were just yelling the grid can't handle more load like for charging cars while Google adds a country worth of power use with AI.

And no word on efficiency in the article. I guess it won't be better than other thermo-electric devices they are 5-8% efficient.

It's like how steam powered cars were developed, but by the time they engineered out all the disadvantages like start to bring the car up to temperature half an hour before driving, the gasoline powered car was there leaving the steam car is the dust.

Not to mention the experiments with steam powered aircraft.

Unfortunately, dealing with the cause instead of dumping the costs of dealing with the consequences to somebody else is something humanity is very bad at.

Close enough. Just don't ask me to convert between one freedom unit to another freedom unit.
