Gerstner argues people would be more excited about nuclear fission if discovered today than they are about AI.
“if World War II never happened, the atomic bomb never happened, and someone just showed up in 2024 and said, I figured out this thing, it's nuclear fission, people would be like, oh my god, like, probably be more excited than you are about AI.”
Gerstner warns data centers acquiring independent energy producers could trigger regulatory intervention on grid pressure.
