AI data center growth requires prioritizing submarine cables and fission power

The author advises AI and data center professionals to prioritize investment in submarine cable infrastructure, particularly for locations suitable for cooling data centers. Following this, investment should be directed towards fission power plants for base load power generation. Only after these foundational needs are met and if ventures remain profitable without competing for resources needed by organic intelligence should AI development proceed. AI

IMPACT Suggests that unchecked AI growth may strain existing power and connectivity infrastructure, necessitating strategic investment in foundational resources.
