It's proof of unsustainable AI bubble. Can't hit those numbers. https://lemmy.ca/post/71626228/25584891
Eff Bain. They say whatever suits the moment. They did over a company I used to work for. The company went bankrupt and laid off employees.
Basically, this is a money pump to bleed out small and mid-sized corporations, they fire all their workers, pay out all their wages to AI, but their customers can no longer afford to use them, they run until they're dry leaving Nvidia, X and Oracle as the only remaining companies, who can afford to (and are designed to) run mostly by AI
oh is that all?
jfc...
Not going to happen. Meanwhile, models are becoming insanely capable and efficient, such as Opus 5.5.
That's government money.
