@wmorrill3 Yeah, reciprocating engines in cars spend ~3/4 of their energy generating heat and only ~1/4 generating motion.
However, it should be noted that combined cycle gas/steam turbines have an impressive efficiency of 64%!
“Fungible” AI infrastructure is ultimately about flexibility. Instead of hardware being locked into a single model, workload, or stage of the AI lifecycle, the same platform can adapt as requirements change. That matters because AI is evolving too quickly for infrastructure decisions to remain tied to today’s workloads. The most durable systems will be the ones that can keep finding new work to do.
What does “fungible” mean for AI infrastructure? The flexibility to run different workloads: every type of AI, every phase of AI and even workloads that aren’t AI at all.
One platform, built for maximum “productivity”, “durable” years after deployment, and “fungible” for every model and workload.

The end of Reddit RSS is bigger than a feed change—it reflects how platforms are increasingly treating user-generated content as a tightly controlled asset.
The development of superintelligence is entering a phase where capability alone is no longer the defining challenge. As these systems become more powerful and more deeply integrated into society, the standards for safety, accountability, independent evaluation, and oversight will matter just as much. The real test will be whether the industry can turn that responsibility into meaningful, enforceable practices as the technology scales.
Yesterday at the White House, leaders from across our industry came together to sign the White House Accord on Super Intelligence.
The principle is simple: the companies building this technology have the primary responsibility to develop and deploy it safely, and to be accountable when they fall short.
The Accord reinforces that responsibility with robust internal controls, independent external evaluation, and board level oversight.
Super Intelligence offers an extraordinary opportunity to advance discovery, productivity, security, health, and prosperity.
The future of Super Intelligence will be shaped not only by what it can do, but by the confidence it earns. By building with ambition, rigor, and responsibility, we can help ensure this extraordinary technology expands opportunity and improves lives for generations to come.
