BZ's Saloon, 05.06.25: MIKE FITZPATRICK on the New A.I. World

On this episode of BZ's Berserk Bobcat Saloon Radio Show:

MIKE FITZPATRICK was featured, BZ's cybersecurity expert from NCX Group, as we discussed AI, the electrical demands of AI, the ridiculous power consumption and monetary demands of running server farms, how AI will affect all aspects of our lives, from music to entertainment to computing to running our lives, and all points in between.

MIKE FITZPATRICK revealed that, by 2035 or earlier, AI will consume 100% of today's available power.

Additionally, AI currently costs $3,000 per minute per server, with some server farms having easily over 1,000 servers. Do the math.

Can we possibly meet the power demands, PLUS handling EVs that Demorats and Leftists are demanding? Of course not. Are we building a ton more electric power plants? Of course not. Demorats and Leftists won't let us. Massive contradiction anyone?
