It seems that AI is stopping being just a compute problem and becomes now an energy problem Power infrastructure scales really slower than chips so this could become a real important constraint.

This has been true for a few years now. US is gated by power. China is gated by advanced chips.

  • The US needs solar and wind hardware manufactured by China.

    China needs advanced chips manufactured by ... Taiwan.

    • Yes but TSMC themselves rely on software and fab equipment/materials made by Europe and US. TSMC also needs stuff from China, mind you.

      It's all connected.
