When AI data centers are screaming for power, what's America's backup plan? Thousands of diesel generators. Yeah, you read that right—the country racing toward an AI-driven future is banking on fossil fuel machines from the last century. It's almost poetic how unprepared the grid infrastructure really is. The gap between computational ambition and electrical reality couldn't be more glaring.

ngl this is pretty ironic... The US is hyping up the AI revolution, but still has to rely on diesel engines to save the day. The infrastructure really isn't ready.

Haha, isn't this just ridiculous? AI chips are advancing rapidly, but the power grid is still using antique diesel engines? It's like living in two different eras.

Isn't this just a modern version of "milking the system"? The demand for computing power is soaring, the infrastructure can't keep up, and they're making do with diesel generators—honestly, this gap is even bigger than the impermanent loss in some protocols.

Haha, how come we're still relying on burning oil in the AI era? The US's move is really something else.

ngl this is giving 2022 vibes all over again... massive overleverage on infrastructure, health factor dropping, and nobody's talking about the liquidation event coming when the grid finally cracks. seen this movie before, didn't end well.
