It will be a race which AI company holds out longest. All of them are making losses that no company can survive, and if they rise their prices enough to cover the costs, they will basically lose all their customers. Who will then struggle to hire the people back who still know how to do things without AI.

Q3 2027 is when the house of cards falls. I have been saying this since 2025 and I will continue to make this prediction based off of loan and investment terms.
I've been making the comparison to the first synthesizer in 1897. It was so huge, that it took up the basement of an entire city block in NYC. It was enormous, and relatively useless but it worked...technically. But 60 years of development later, and it can be put in a suitcase and carried around.
I see data centers and AI the same way. Sure, we can technically do it, but it's big, unwieldy, and wasteful. It clearly isn't ready for prime time.
Go back to the drawing board, address the real problems, including regulations, and get back to us in a decade or two, when they've figured out how to do this properly. Because right now it's a monstrosity that's more of a curiosity than an useful product.

That long? Sigh…
He’ll probably tell Trump he’ll help win the election and get all sorts of tax payer handouts.
Let's accelerate the the process. What's the AI query version of DDOS?
Yes, they could just set more limits.. but itll still shave the time sooner.
Can't be soon enough. The amount of AI sludge videos out there where I can't even tell anymore.
