Initially a lot of the AI was getting trained on lower class GPUs and none of these AI special cards/blades existed. The problem is that the problems are quite large and hence require a lot of VRAM to work on or you split it and pay enormous latency penalties going across the network. Putting it all into one giant package costs a lot more but it also performs a lot better, because AI is not an embarrassingly parallel problem that can be easily split across many GPUs without penalty. So the goal is often to reduce the number of GPUs you need to get a result quickly enough and it brings its own set of problems of power density in server racks.

Grid forming will just mean the keep running the house when the power goes off, it’s not safe for them to be pushing power when it’s disappeared, that has been set by regulation in many countries.

All of the sales of public assets have resulted in drastic reductions in services and increasing costs. The water, electricity, post, gas and more it’s all just worse. The key infrastructure can’t just fail making them a very bad idea to be in private hands without very strict service requirements. We badly need to elect a government that will fix what is clearly broken.
