But spending means making money and the gain is in the churn, results are secondary. Financialization has become its own end. Not doubting though that they believe their own Manifest Destiny bullshit.
@cwebber I wonder if the data center people can team up with those orbital mirror people and get the solar panels big enough to have their megawatt
@astraluma don't give them ideas
@cwebber I keep hoping he both lofts an Orbital Villain Lair™️ *and* fucks off to it. He seems a half step away so maybe we’ll get lucky that way in 2027.
this probably does mean the AI bubble popping even sooner as investors realize that they actually can't get the infra they need built out
it's gonna happen
the longer it takes the worse it'll be, so bring it on I suppose
@cwebber I hope the election results will knock the share prices in the AI industry a bit; fingers crossed it might even kick off the end of this ludicrosity.
@cwebber they don't 'need' that infra.
The demand is there, it's high, very high, but not "rob everyone of all hardware they have left and build a GPU datacenter on every square meter of land" like in their marketing material high.
That will bring down the cost of compute, how?
@SeanPLynch it will bring them down into a flaming toxic fireball in the atmosphere at some point anyway
Elon and all the other tech CEOs crying and saying "I guess we have to put datacenters in space now where else is there for us" as they launch a bunch of datacenter satellites into orbit that will never fucking work or be repairable
