Venture capitalist Chamath Palihapitiya emphasized that energy constraints are the main barrier to AI expansion, particularly for Meta Platforms Inc., which is facing infrastructure bottlenecks despite significant capital expenditures. He advocates for solar energy as a solution. Meta CFO Susan Li indicated the company may seek external financing for AI infrastructure as capital expenditures approach $100 billion.
