I wonder they could do with it if the us decided to do an ai moonshot. They would be the equivalent of spending 500 billion in today’s dollars over 10 years. That’s a lot of compute.

If you do the math on best-case costs for some of Google's AI projects they've been spending tens to hundreds of millions worth of compute on things like training StarCraft bots, so I wouldn't be surprised if the industry as a whole is throwing $50b USD worth of compute at various tasks every year already. If you're a company like Amazon or Google using your own fleet for it you're not actually spending that much money, of course...
