    Data centers are already paid for, so they’re being built.

    no they are not… they are contracted in paper by openAI, for example, who has no way of paying for them other than “trust me bro”

    But if they can’t go online due to power costs

    it’s not just the cost… the infrastructure to produce all this additional power does not exist… another issue with these massive bubble

    As for AI use… Sadly there are a bunch of people using it. And while the drop off rate of people trying it and ditching it is steep, there’s actually a readoption curve. Which never fucking happens.

    Served by the current infra, why do we need the next 200 gwatt for? to make memes faster?

    So everyone is betting on the next model being better, and more people giving it all a second chance… Which are two open questions.

    by everybody you mean those ped.ling the bubble… we already saw the decline in the newer models and know it´s matematically impossible to get rid of the slop or get to “gen ai” through LLMs
