James Li's latest video is about how the mass data center rollout is most likely a new government endrun around the 4th Amendment using private companies to create an even more massive surveillance state. Sounds about right to me. The profitability just doesn't make sense from a business perspective.
NVidia wants to make smaller DataCenters near power areas.
A lot of tech is looking at going without the datacenter. There's also a huge push for personal computers, and even a AIPU.
I think this kind of push is to have us rely on these big companies which can be controlled. If it breaks apart to individual stuff, the various governments lose tons of power.
The profit is gonna come from it being an infrastructure backbone similar to the Internet itself.
AI is gonna bake it away into everything. The company will price their product to include AI cost, similar to how they price in web server costs and such.
Yeah, but a lot of AI tools are proving to unreliable, or perhaps worse, superfluous.
Total opposite, it's all dependent on your context files and training data.
The larger issue is CEOs and no nothing board members are getting flooded with "HOW AI 5X OUR OUPUT!" articles and demand the same from their department heads.
Cuz the fear is don't adapt quickly enough or get left behind. Thus, department heads are forced to figure out how to make it work.
We've barely written code in the last 6 months. We outline the scaffold, and let AI handle the rest. Even our entry level spreadsheet people are using AI more and more to clean data vs writing formulas and such.
It's not going anywhere.
AI certainly isn't going anywhere, in any industry. But the truly next generation stuff like building a knowledge engine out of JSTOR has thus far been a failure, and attempts to actually replace people with it have been a mixed bag. For example, you could try to replace your paralegals with ChatGPT briefs, but that has resulted in fictional case precedent and other embarrassments. So at that point you're still retaining the staff, but also paying for a new subscription service.
I hear that junior software devs are actually replaceable with Claude etc though. Which raises the question of how senior devs will be made.
