AI chip demand explodes globally

The power consumption side of this story deserves more attention
People talk about chip demand but not always about the infrastructure needed to run racks full of them

If demand keeps climbing at this pace, chip engineers might become some of the most sought after professionals on the planet

I'm curious whether smaller players can even compete anymore
The cost of building serious AI infrastructure sounds enormous

Feels inevitable at this point. We spent years opening apps and now apps are opening assistants inside themselves. Email, docs, browsers, even note apps are becoming one giant prompt box with extra buttons.

Examples are everywhere already:

• Writing suggestions in office suites
• Code copilots inside IDEs
• AI summaries in browsers
• Photo cleanup and generation in gallery apps
• Meeting transcription and action items

The weird part is I still catch myself doing things manually because I don't trust the output enough to fully hand over control.

I keep thinking of autocorrect. People hated it, then tolerated it, now most people barely notice it. AI in apps might follow the same path.

Difference is autocorrect changed words. This stuff changes decisions. That's where I get cautious.
