Why the Internet is Running Out of Energy. Understanding the AI Energy Crisis

The world is heading toward an energy crisis—fast. AI is pushing data centers to consume more power than entire countries, and our current energy grid isn’t built to handle it.We break down the growing energy demand fueled by AI, cloud computing, and big tech. Can renewables scale fast enough? Is nuclear—especially Small Modular Reactors (SMRs)—the answer? And could AI itself help optimize energy production?From massive data centers to next-gen power sources, we explore how the race for energy is reshaping our future.-------------------------------CONNECT WITH ME:--------------------------------About Me / Newsletter: https://barrywinata.kit.com/ YouTube: @barrywinata Podcast: https://www.youtube.com/@barrywinata/podcasts LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/barrywinata/ X: https://x.com/barrywinata Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4mOHdfP2mfE6Z939nm1TMS?si=0ceb0a78a9c5432d Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-prompt/id1535985414RSS: https://anchor.fm/s/fded4344/podcast/rss --------------------------------FOR FOUNDERS:--------------------------------Get your startup funded: https://metagrove.vc/ Technical Content Marketing: https://argonlabs.xyz/Hire Top Remote Talent: https://hirewithguild.com/ ---------------------------------ABOUT ME:---------------------------------Check out my website: https://barrywinata.kit.com/---------------------------------MY GEAR: (Note: These are affiliate links - thanks for supporting!)---------------------------------- Samson Q2U Podcasting Microphone: https://amzn.to/4hJ9hb6- GoPro Hero13: https://amzn.to/3CCDHg6#tech #ai #openai #nvidia #datacenter #energy #power #america #usa #china

--In this video, we break down the concept of what is a sovereign wealth fund in simple, easy-to-understand language and figure out if it can solve the US debt crisis. We talk about:• What is a Sovereign Wealth Fund? - how governments use surplus funds—from natural resources, trade surpluses, or other revenues—to invest in stocks, bonds, real estate, and more, generating long-term wealth.• Global Examples: - We highlight successful models like Norway’s $1.7 trillion Oil Fund, China’s expansive sovereign funds, and key players in the Middle East, comparing their strategies to the proposed U.S. model.• Why Trump Wants a U.S. Fund: - the idea to tap into the nation’s vast government assets to invest in major projects (even TikTok!), boost national competitiveness, and potentially pay down debt—all while competing with global powers like China.• Benefits vs. Challenges: -how such a fund could stabilize the economy and drive strategic investments, as well as the significant hurdles—including funding issues, political interference, and management risks—that could derail its success.-------------------------------REFERENCES:--------------------------------US Debt Clock: https://www.usdebtclock.org/-------------------------------CONNECT WITH ME:--------------------------------About Me / Newsletter: https://barrywinata.kit.com/ YouTube: @barrywinata Podcast: https://www.youtube.com/@barrywinata/podcasts LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/barrywinata/ X: https://x.com/barrywinata Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4mOHdfP2mfE6Z939nm1TMS?si=0ceb0a78a9c5432d Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-prompt/id1535985414RSS: https://anchor.fm/s/fded4344/podcast/rss --------------------------------FOR FOUNDERS:--------------------------------Get your startup funded: https://metagrove.vc/ Technical Content Marketing: https://argonlabs.xyz/Hire Top Remote Talent: https://hirewithguild.com/ ---------------------------------ABOUT ME:---------------------------------Check out my website: https://barrywinata.kit.com/---------------------------------MY GEAR: (Note: These are affiliate links - thanks for supporting!)---------------------------------- Samson Q2U Podcasting Microphone: https://amzn.to/4hJ9hb6- GoPro Hero13: https://amzn.to/3CCDHg6#usa #america #trump #business #investing #tech #ai #politics

Is AI Making the Internet Useless?
FEB 7, 2025
Is AI Making the Internet Useless?

AI is changing everything—fast.  With 300M+ people using ChatGPT weekly, we’re all relying on AI more than ever. But are we seeing the AI hidden risks around all of this?


I’m not talking about doomsday scenarios, but the ones right under our noses. 


In this video, I explore how:

- AI knows more about you than you think.

- The internet is becoming an AI feedback loop (and that’s a problem).

- We’re getting too comfortable accepting AI’s answers without questioning them.

- A few companies control AI knowledge—what does that mean for the future?
