The AI Business Model is Very Stupid

The AI business model was this: a few companies buy up all the GPUs from NVIDIA, pop them in data centers, then every other company pays them lots of money to use GPUs to run AI models. That's one of the reasons the power constraints don't really matter much. In the mind of the corporate scum at Oracle, Microsoft, OpenAI, etc... since they'd have all the GPUs, and AI is so super necessary, it might even work out better if data center construction was halted or limited because they could just charge more for a thing that makes PDFs about women's history month or whatever.

The hype machine was supposed to get a bunch of corporate dummies to start thinking "AI" was a necessary ingredient to doing the useless stuff people do at work all day. It didn't really work for coding tasks. It seems that it is mainly for HR department emails.

I think the theory that "tech" is utterly saturated and in negative ROI mode is a good one. These mega projects seem pretty doomed. I can see the feds bailing these trash companies out--that will be even more evidence of a failed system.

The future of tech is probably niche, real value added applications. The concept of moving all "compute" into "data centers" is fucktarded drivel. It's the dream of these monopolist psychos. That niche, real value added business is going to be harder and harder to find, especially for giant corporations. Small companies of engineers can do it.
