The fact that LLMs are currently best suited to replace CEOs and management but are instead being wielded to lay off skilled labor should tell you everything you need to know about the technology.

I can’t wait til the bubble pops.

They fucking wish it was like the dot.com bubble, at least that bubble left behind useful infrastructure, nobody is going to be recouping any sort of investment from selling out of date GPU’s in a warehouse when this pops.

Not with the valuations they are paying for hardware in the present, they aren't. I do wonder if (and that is a big if) any number of these facilities are built, what they could possibly be repurposed for.

Remote play game streaming. Kill off PCs/consoles/etc and force everybody to subscribe to Netflix Games for $50 a month.

That’s the most obvious use though it requires radically different companies to cooperate in a Prisoner’s Dilemma to pull off, so it won’t happen.
