My Learnings: #48

Energy forms a foundational layer of the universe—or at least a critical element—based on my observations, though I'm no physicist. This truth resurfaces in the AI arms race among global powers: early focus on advanced chips (CPUs, GPUs) and efficient training models has shifted to the real decider—who can generate the most electricity. Since life's origins, victors have been those projecting the most power to control resources. Today, nations aggressively building nuclear capacity hold the edge, outpacing those mired in debates over energy sources and impacts. Long lead times favor proactive builders, potentially crowning winners already. It's a timeless reminder: access to abundant, projectable energy is paramount, echoing patterns from primordial times to now.
