I don't usually comment on videos but I gotta say, I really appreciate the optimism this series brings. Thanks for bringing a little bit more hope into my life Cleo!
10:16 thanks for having relevant sponsors. I can’t stand hearing about how “Dinner in Box” changed your busy day. This looks like something I could use.
I was a diamond tool maker and polisher with natural diamonds for making special cutting tools for human eyes etc. You can actually weld natural diamonds to metal in a vacuum (braze) Now we have PCD which I've worked with too. Everything seems to be possible with diamonds nowdays an amazing material.
One of the very few extremely good information channels on Youtube, not too technical just enough to whet ones interest and explain where and how these technologies fit. You are a very good science communicator.
One key takeaway here is: if one data-center can do the work of 2, they won't build less of them, they'll build twice as many! Ugh
Same thing happened with the switch from incandescent to CFL and LEDs: it didn't reduce power use, it actually increased it because everyone just installed more lights.
Diamonds as a symbol of love and commitment will always be awesome. But the older I get the more I understand they were always just sparkly rocks pumped into having value after WW2 when gold was restricted internationally. Industrial diamonds appeal more to me now as they're legitimately useful and amazing. Nice one Cleo!
Note that we don't mine diamonds from the mantle - we don't have that ability. Supervolcanoes throw them up and, over time, they have settled in the crust nearer the surface.
That visual on the size of transistors was next level.

Oh they misjudge the hubris of tech CEOs
