"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.

The core lie behind AI economic fraud is that "compute capacity is scarce"

With interest costs and aggressive 6 year depreciation schedule of GPUs (datacenters used to depreciate over 3 years), Coreweave lost 24c for every $ in revenue it has. If compute were actually scarce, they could charge enough to actually break even.

Meanwhile, they have a $36B capex budget for the year to reduce scarcity even more, with only 250mw more of capacity expected to be complete this year. They have an 11% interest rate on their debt. If utility partners have delays in connecting their future datacenters, they face massive depreciation/interest costs, and cannot sue for damages related to those costs.
