Basically the current stack is primitive, so we waste 80% of the juice and then worry about how to power our inefficient mess. That’s the wrong set of questions.
No one will listen to me until I build it myself because everyone thinks they know everything.
I was thinking exactly this. The TSMC brake can only be a good thing if it constrains capacity on a wasteful industry and encourages research into efficiency.
If it also diverts workloads away from LLMs that we all know really belong elsewhere, more’s the better.
