His analogy is that most people don’t generate their own electricity. They connect to a grid and pay for what they use. AI is heading the same way. The problem is that building that grid — the data centers, power lines, cooling systems and chips needed to make AI a utility — is proving harder, pricier and slower than almost anyone expected.
