    Nobody wants it to pay off. They want to be the last one standing which will pay off.

        It’s the same thing. Either way, they get free government money and lots of passive income because they don’t actually have to make anything or do anything to make money.

    if someone comes up with an alternative way to use a bunch of that infrastructure to make money, I bet they could get a lot of business when the AI bubble pops and suddenly these datacenters are desperate to find a use for themselves

      You mean like a crazy ai surveillance program? I take it with a grain of salt but I heard ppl say that’s how they caught Luigi. They have some super secret prototype program “eye in the sky” thing and they just said it was a mc d’s worker as cover.

        Even if that doesn’t exist yet in the USA, it’s definitely in the UK with all their CCTV stuff.

        And we know US law enforcement can use things like Ring doorbells.

    • Krishna was skeptical of that current tech would reach AGI, putting the likelihood between 0-1%.

    One day we’ll read some of these comments and laugh at how shortsighted they were.

    Of course we’ll probably have to read them on a manuscript or smeared on a wall with feces because all the world’s resources will be used by the huge datacenters that power our AI overlords

    So then we’re going to drive down the cost of building & developing infrastructure, right?

      Based on the type of AI models IBM has published, they are betting on smaller, specialized models that can run locally or cheaper in a data center. Their strategy seems to be similar to that of thr Chinese, just for different reasons.

      I wish i knew more about the guts of LLMs because I keep thinking it must be easier to optimize them than to put data centers into space.

    IBM is in the business of consulting. They don’t want their business model getting usurped. Imagine if everyone had access to a bot that could do IBMs job.

    I don’t like AI, but this is one reason I can see him saying that.

      Sure but they’re in the business of consulting on how to build out that AI platform and the business of providing an AI platform.
