Is higher energy consumption key to higher quality of life?
See the Quality if life indexes vs Energy per country.
Sure looks like the more energy per person expended, the happier we are.
(Remember that a large fraction of the per person expenditure occurs in factories e.g. to build your phone & data centers e.g. for your youtube and chatgpt.)
Is human appetite for energy consumption unbounded, limited only by what we can currently afford?

AI acceleration will continue without slowing, until we’ve built Dyson Spheres around the stars
Publicly, CEOs like Altman will claim that it has already slowed.
Publicly, AI Accerationists like Andreeson will say that the Safetiests are about to slow it.
Privately?
All are smart enough to know that nothing can slow it now.
Not until we’ve built Dyson Spheres around the stars.
Real questions?
Who will own it. Who will control it.
