I see that, thx.  Cooling has been the big challenge ever since NVidea came along with those super hotrod GPUs.

They is we.  Data centers are owned by the big guys, Microsloth and Google and Elon Musk and such.  If there are profitable algorithms to run, not just mining BitCoin but something we could break off a specialized piece of what they are doing in the big data centers, we could make a deal for that already-installed power infrastructure in failed non-Musk charging stations.  

I went by twice today, and both times the 28 ports had one Tesla, no power sales in progress.  My reasoning is that if one big commercial charging station is lonely, then more of them are.  I have never seen a charging station with all the ports being utilized.  That means we have potential to get those at a fire sale price, if we can get some of these mobile calculation wagons rolling.

Singularity guys, if you had 50 of NVidea's hottest GPUs, or any competitor's GPUs, could you use that for anything?  AI sales for instance?  Specialty AI services, such as voice recognition speech synthesis AI chatbots that go inside talking teddy bears for babies, except these aren't ChatGPT, they don't urge your preschooler to commit violent acts or manufacture nuclear weapons.  Rather they are trained on material found in the appropriate section of the library, kind of a G-rated boring version of this:

 When we were setting up my nearly blind father in law with a conversation bot, it never occurred to me the obvious extension would be talking listening toys.  Kids will grow up convinced that animals can talk.  Oh they will be so screwed up.  But if we could train the toys to talk technology to the kids, they would be soooo tech savvy.  And we will be rich.
