The realm of artificial intelligence has given rise to the most exorbitant "unused asset" in history: State-of-the-art Nvidia GPUs, valued at billions of dollars, are languishing unused in Microsoft's warehouses, all because of a power shortage. Recently, during a podcast interview on BG2, Microsoft's CEO Satya Nadella and OpenAI's CEO Sam Altman shed light on this unusual predicament. Nadella remarked, "Our primary challenge at the moment isn't a scarcity of computing power; rather, it's a shortage of electricity. Truth be told, there's a heap of chips just sitting in our warehouse, gathering dust, because we lack the power to put them to use."
