As I was using LLMs at work (I never use LLMs for personal projects), a question occurred to me:

What in the fuck are these new data centers supposed to actually do?

The enterprise users are all in on having LLMs write 300% of the code. And yet, both OpenAI and Anthropic are still giving these “$200 gets you $10 000 in API costs” subscriptions to every victim of AI psychosis.

Why do we have RAM, hard disk, SSD, GPU and CPU shortages and no “token shortage”?

I mean, we all know the answer, these are the offerings for the robot god, but like how in the fuck are they still obtaining loans for this shit?

    Im amazed how many people think the surveillance state would need AI as an excuse to build data centers.

    (And not that this is the was AI is going as govs tend to have infinite money and very bad quality control (at least nowadays). Seems like people have their timelines wrong).

    But I’m also getting annoyed in general (not here) with how many people are going ‘everyone who disagrees with me is actually a bot/everything I wish wasnt true is AI now’.
