The image visually reinforces the post's "two-sided problem": a looming shortage of megawatts for data centers paired with massively underutilized already-powered compute capacity. > > "AI has a weird infrastructure problem right now, we’re short on megawatts and wasting GPU-hours at the same time. New power can take years to connect, while a lot of already-powered compute still spends large chunks of the day underused. Makes a pretty strong case for treating" ### Post #2 by @V7musyo > **Author:** rooty ([@V7musyo](https://x.com/V7musyo)) > **Metrics:** 26 likes · 0 retweets · 4 comments · 682 views > **Posted:** 2026-09-08T15:26:48+00:00 > **Source Link:** [https://x.com/V7musyo/status/2097345918282428838](https://x.com/V7musyo/status/2097345918282428838) > **Visual Note:** A young woman with glasses and shoulder-length brown hair sits on a blue seat, wearing a black tank top, a layered necklace, and a cream-colored cardigan. > > "I'm 23 and I've been in crypto for about 5 years now. during this time, I've: > been an ambassador for Story Protocol and ZAMA > interned at LayerZero > run nodes for io net and Gensyn > participated in testnets for Arbitrum, Linea and Starknet > made a decent amount of money" ### Post #3 by @PDmytriiev > **Author:** Petro D. | Research ([@PDmytriiev](https://x.com/PDmytriiev)) > **Metrics:** 17 likes · 6 retweets · 1 comments · 444 views > **Posted:** 2026-09-08T19:51:08+00:00 > **Source Link:** [https://x.com/PDmytriiev/status/2097412441877479759](https://x.com/PDmytriiev/status/2097412441877479759) > **Visual Note:** A comparison table of funding parameters for ANTH (Anthropic PBC) and OAI (OpenAI Group PBC), showing details like max leverage (6x), catastrophic bounds, depth constant (100), funding multiplier (0.0125), no-IPO resolution dates, and open interest caps (24M and 8M). > > "Two trillion for @AnthropicAI , $1.3 trillion for @OpenAI , and neither number has a share price behind it: Entropy's order books are now setting the reference valuations for both frontier AI labs before either has a ticker on Nasdaq. @entropyIO (HIP-3 ticker io, oracles by" --- *Generated by Context Pilot Social Intelligence Engine.*
