It's kind of self-defeating when there's a remark that AI race may depend not just on hardware and software but having enough power.

Perhaps there needs to be new sources or new developments of power, kind of like development of the A-bomb, where all sorts of things had to occur, separation and concentration of the isotopes into more concentrated masses, materials used in the manufacturing processes, etc.

I know that there's been a 'hidden' race for new sources of power, not just for this particular project (AI) but for general purposes. A kind of a 'next in major step' in moving up a tier in the development of new technologies, we're unable to get there because of the power demands and the inability to achieve needed power needed.
