    I wonder why countries let them.

    Using up more electric power than there’s available is NOT a simple matter of demand and supply.

    If they actually pull too much from the grid, they are going to cause damage to others, and maybe even to the grid itself.

      Because they’re not actually pulling too much from the grid to cause damage to others or even the grid itself.

      Any musings about curtailing AI due to power consumption is just bullshit for clicks. We’ll improve efficiency and increase productivity, but we won’t reduce usage.
