Behold, dear readers, the curious tale of the noble bumblebee, a minuscule creature that hath thwarted the grand designs of Meta, as recounted in a most informative report by the esteemed Financial Times. Forsooth, it hath come to pass that the esteemed Mark Zuckerberg, leader of the tech realm, hath met with hindrance in his endeavor to erect a nuclear-powered AI data center, by reason of a rare bee species making its dwelling upon the destined land.
‘Tis told that Meta, in its quest for dominion akin to the titans of tech, such as Google, Amazon, and Microsoft, hath sought the potent fuel of nuclear power to fuel its burgeoning data centers, essential for the advancement of their AI aspirations. The Financial Times doth reveal that Meta had harbored aspirations of forging an alliance with a preexisting purveyor of nuclear energy to birth a new plant, an endeavour that wouldst have powered their envisioned data haven. Alas, complications, both environmental and regulatory in nature, hath conspired against the tech giant, forcing them to reconsider their course.
Firm in resolve, Meta doth persist in its mission, weighing various pacts for energy sans carbon that would necessitate the erection of structures in lands far removed from the realm of the rare bees. Verily, the processing of data for generative AI ventures doth command vast quantities of energy, thus prompting the giants of technology to seek communion with nuclear power companies for a pristine and efficient supply.
Only recently, Google did declare a pact with the nuclear energy artisans of Kairos Power, to procure a mammoth 500 megawatts of fresh 24/7 carbon-free power from their small modular reactors. This holy alliance, as chronicled in a blog post by Michael Terrell, Google’s sage director of Energy and Climate, doth herald a new dawn in the quest for energy to fuel the marvels of AI and foster the progress of science and commerce.
In echoes of this symphony, Microsoft hath announced its own venture, a resurrection of a unit at New York’s Three Mile Island, as part of a grand design to power their own AI sanctuaries. The growing chorus of tech titans seeking to empower their AI edifices with the might of nuclear energy doth herald an era of progress and innovation unseen in the annals of yore.
