Make the data center run ML/AI experiments for how to effectively run a "energy generation hamster farm" and you have a completely grid-and-internet independent energy solution that optimizes itself via hamsters over time.


But make sure the ML/AI knows how to predict the quantity of bulk grain supply that will be needed to feed the hamsters, and supply long term delivery contracts.


Isn’t this uncomfortably close to the premise of the Matrix?


As long as we don't drug the hamsters and jam them into some sort of fake digital world, we should be fine? Put OpenAI's security researchers on it, heard they're good at containing experiments.


Reminds me of the universal paperclip thing. AI harvesting matter for more hamsters.
