In 2-3 years, AI will drive energy overabundance enabling free electricity to nearby communities.

In 2-3 years, AI will drive energy overabundance enabling free electricity to nearby communities. | right now it's the frontier labs have to pay for their own electricity bill tomorrow 2 3 years from now there I think we move to a world where AI has driven such an overabundance of energy that the the next deal the next next deal might be offering free electricity to communities within a certain radius of the data centers and this is how we get to abundance.
