"During one meeting, a Japanese official laughed when OpenAI said it was seeking 5 gigawatts of electrical power, about a thousand times the power that an average data center consumes, a person familiar with the meeting said." Gigawatts seen-this-one Thats the consumption per year of countries like Qatar. You can't be serious. Them again they probably already use as much energy as some first world countries. Edit hold on..... Its waaaaaaaay more than that. Like 20 new zealands desolate sadness-abysmal stress
