tldw/tldr: AI demand is unsustainable
- Global energy use grows at ~2% annually
- AI related energy demand grows at 15% annually

- "Kelvin limit" problem: no matter how clean the energy source, all energy consumption converts to waste heat which could lead to catastrophic warming and resource exhaustion
