Kinda crazy that artificial intelligence needs the entire output of a nuclear reactor but actual intelligence can run on Twix bars and cocaine, for example.

That level of energy differential makes me think that our current best efforts, ChatGPT et al, are solving the wrong problem with the wrong method and I'm unconvinced that the world has enough energy output to achieve actual artificial intelligence in this way. This is hyperbole, not intelligence.

Just had to, but then again, we're only just starting out. This tech is so new still. Issue is, the power needs might go down for what we have today, but it will always be used up for more powerhungry projects.

Actually, its worse. The average nuclear reactor in the us generates ~1 GW of power. US Datacenters consume ~21 GW of power (up from 19 GW in 2023). In some cases over a third of data center power is just used for AI. So that's 7+ nuclear reactors worth of juice for this stupid solutionist crap.
