15TWh per year is about 1.7GW.
Assuming the above figures, that means OpenAI and Nvidia new plan will consume about 5.8 Googles worth of power, by itself.
At that scale, there's a huge opportunity for ultra-low-power AI compute chips (compared with current GPUs), and right now there are several very promising technology pathways to it.

- OtherShrezzing 1y agoThis one datacenter should be able to perform a 51% attack on any of the big cryptocurrencies with that much compute. An interesting hedge in case the AI bubble pops.

- aurareturn 1y agoYou're downvoted but it's a real threat. Imagine hackers or state sponsored entities use one of these mega data centers to destroy a few cryptocurrencies.
- typpilol 1y agoThey are nothing compared to BTC Asics
- kevinrineer 1y agoComparing 100 duck sized horses to 1 horse sized duck. Or perhaps the amount of GPUs is in the ratio of 1,000:1.
- Lionga 1y agoNope, anything besides ASICs are useless for crypto mining.
- typpilol 1y agoSomeone did the math above and said all of it would only be about 0.05 percent for Bitcoin. I'm not sure about the GPU pow coins though
