Elon Musk’s choice of geographic location for his Collossus supercomputer, namely, Memphis, TN, was probably a bad choice. A better site with more TVA (Tennessee Valley Authority) power support would have been Oak Ridge, TN. The Collossus name probably came from the science fiction book Collossus: The Forbin Project by the British author Dennis Feltham Jones which was copyrighted in 1966. A movie by the same name was released in 1970. Elon Musk’s AI entity is named Grok which is a verb from the science fiction novel Stranger in a Strange Land by Robert A. Heinlein. Grok means to deeply understand. The supercomputer may one day consist of 1,000,000 Nvidia Graphical Processing Units. The computer’s power requirements are enormous.
