    From a global allocation perspective, actually, it’s quite terrible to have everybody have a bunch of the world’s limited supply of DRAM sitting in their own computer and being used 5% of the time," Altman said. "You want maximum utilization in the cloud if you’re trying to deal with this very supply-constrained environment. And somehow many people’s intuition is the opposite of that.

      deal with this very supply-constrained environment

      It’s only supply constrained right now because YOU are buying all it up to try and force everyone to use AI they don’t need, and increasingly don’t want as they realize it’s pretty useless for 99% of people.

        And much of isn’t being used, just stockpiled in warehouses while they wait for data centres that may never be built.

        Yeah that’s the thing about how delusional these people are. They’ve completely convinced themselves that what is good for them is best for everyone else, and blame us for being so shortsighted that we don’t cede all control, agency, and resources to them. Fucking morons.
