"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

Passive investing turned everyone into a tech investor without anyone asking permission. That’s the uncomfortable reality your pension statement won’t spell out. Concentration risk isn’t theoretical — it’s sitting inside the funds you forgot you owned, quietly indexed to the same seven companies the ECB just flagged as the core of a potential AI Infrastructure financial stability problem.

Oh I agree. My point more was that this is the level of investment, and that these have to have perfect returns to be rational.

Are they rationally including replacing GPUs every three years? I mean, how many years before they even pay off the GPUs they have now?

Yeah when will those expired GPUs hit the resell market? Or are they going to grapes of wrath them.

There is a crime here that goes beyond denunciation. There is a sorrow here that weeping cannot symbolize. There is a failure here that topples all our success. The productive factories, the people in white coveralls in their perfectly-controlled environments and the chips, 16GB of VRAM just waiting for a charge. And children dying of boredom must play games on their phones because profit can not be taken from a GPU. And parents must hear daily, "I want to play Valorant" and "Skyrim is boring" and yet not be able to do anything--because the GPUs must rot, must be forced to rot.

Well they are, rationally, assuming they are gonna make "a genie that can grant any wish", so they will simply ask how to solve the next round of funding issues.
