AI at Scale: Energy, Compute, and the ARC Breakthrough

About this episode

We unpack the ARC challenge and OpenAI's O3, examine the staggering compute costs behind giant AI systems, and explore how scaling laws, data-center power, and chip manufacturing intersect with nuclear-powered ambitions and thermodynamics. A hard look at how infrastructure—and energy—might shape the future of AI and society.
