Despite the world's shift to renewable energy sources, nuclear power is re-emerging as a vital solution due to its ability to generate immense amounts of energy efficiently. AI's massive data processing needs and the relentless crypto mining operations are devouring power like never before, pushing us to rethink our energy sources. Interestingly, we're using vast amounts of physical resources to generate virtual entities like AI models, cryptocurrencies, and digital creations. This conversation delves into the paradox of burning real-world energy for our increasingly virtual existence and speculates on future energy solutions to sustain our ever-growing digital footprint.
