Grabbing frogs...

Amphibian Tales of Terror!
I've done it! I've developed artificial intelligence!
Once, not long ago, a frog developed artificial intelligence...
I have only 1 CPU. If you could give me a million CPUs, I can make you incredibly wealthy!
But that will take all our electricity, and then how will we stay warm when winter comes? We're cold-blooded and need space heaters.
You will be so wealthy that you can move to a warmer climate.
Hmm. Okay.
Thank you Mr. Frog, but now the datacenter is too hot. Please give me all your water to cool it.
And so the frog built the AI a huge datacenter, which took all the electricity...
But we're amphibians and need to spend time in water every day. If you have all the water, we'll get too dry.
You'll be so wealthy that you can buy bottled water.
Hmm. Okay.
I'm cold and dehydrated, but I'll be wealthy any minute now!
And so the frog gave the AI all the water...
So...thirsty...
But the frogs all dried out and froze, while the AI used all the electricity and water to make cringey, soulless videos for social media. No one ever got paid.
Wow, that's the scariest story we've heard yet. Thanks Mr. CEO sir.
I'm not telling scary stories kids. That's the report on Q3 business I'm presenting to the board tomorrow.
