About this listen

From the "Slopocalypse" security disaster to OpenAI’s aggressive $8 pivot, the AI hype train is finally hitting the wall of physical reality. Leonard and Alyssa break down the "Hardware Heist" driving up memory prices and explain why your next smartphone might actually be a step backward as data centers hoover up the world’s silicon. It’s a high-stakes look at the 1.9-gigawatt power struggle for the future of compute and whether the "magic" of AI is worth the utility-bill price tag.
