Right. This compute still being powered by an illegal amount of gas turbines in a residential neighborhood?
Claude is eating so much compute, the threat of that power being tuned down by lawsuit (rightfully) is worth the risk to Anthropic in the short-term. Instead of declaring "bubble", I'm just going to say that's so crazy.
Colossus 1 is in an industrial area, next door to a grid scale natural gas power plant. One that's fully operational.
Then why do they keep getting sued, then going one state over and running the same playbook that got them sued in the previous state?

Or SpaceX is absorbing the risk should that power be turned off... still morally shitty but not obviously economically so.
