    For sure, I think the current crop of ai companies might die when the market crashes, but technology is here to stay

      Thank you. Exactly. All those assets will just change hands. Probably not even as when the companies are liquidated they’ll probably be bought up by the shareholders that were pushing for this in the first place.

      If the USA doesn’t have an EPA or other agencies stepping in than we may see real ecological damage unless Americans physically prevent their construction.

        I think electricity bills quadrupling and quintupling in cost will step in and put a pinch to much of this horseshit. Already states are stepping up to limit datacenters. Maine just put a ban on them in the state. Infrastructure matters.

          There is still innovation in the space. There are some models that aren’t as gpu (and maybe power) hungry.

          I think we need to be prepared to confront LLM’s and whatever comes after for the long haul.

          Today’s iteration sucks for so many reasons, the core of problem I think will be there for a long time.

          Hell we may crack fusion (in the next 20 years) and we will still have the fundamental problems we are grappling with.
