Pakistan's solar shift and AI's computing power grab

Original: 🔮 AI & Math 2.0, Pakistan’s solar hedge & who controls computing++

Azeem Azhar's Exponential View newsletter leads with three themes: new mathematical approaches underpinning AI development, Pakistan's growing reliance on solar power as an energy hedge, and ongoing battles over who controls global computing capacity. The Pakistan angle is drawing particular attention, as the country scrambles to stabilise its strained power grid amid economic pressure, with cheap solar imports accelerating a shift away from fossil fuels.

Why now: Ongoing debate about AI's compute demands and Pakistan's energy crisis have both resurfaced this week.
