I assume they're spending so much because they're building the infrastructure of AI (data centers) but the cost of just running everything won't be to the same degree.

 

U.s. data centers are using more electricity than the entire country of u.k., Spain, or Italy

Leo just wondering, how many psychedelic trips have you had over your life?

Chinese-built AI models are gaining traction among U.S. companies as they narrow the performance gap with leading American rivals while remaining significantly cheaper to use.

Crapitalism

There isn't going to be a bubble or one that pops.

What we see is a hostage situation and the robbers aren't going home without their money.

Which means at best, we see controlled demoliion, and at worse, widespread instability that invariably leads to increasingly more feudalistic geopolitics.

This is a global condition now that was already pre-set through earlier decade long forecasting anticipating what is now societal predictive programming finding its natural tunnel. 

As one country falls another will rise, this is not a war among companies anymore, or countries, its geopolitical oligarchy, that's the overtone in the public's blindspot now. 

They've already run their simulations on what's to come and now they're just going to minimise the damage along the desired trajectory, and maximise it at certain price points because the only philosophy that remains competitive in this kind of game is that the "end justifies the means". That's the bank robbers code, and its all or nothing now. 

Case study examples of "look its popping" are just looking too young into the future of a technology that is invariably going to undergo far more developmental trajectories than what anyone anticipated pre-ten years ago.

Oh, sure.

I don't think I need to have definite answers to your questions in order to recognize language and conceptual games.

A lot of people will play specialty games in a way where conceptualization and trips will be  categorized as direct experience.

I've never had an issue admitting my limitations. If 99% of the people here were to rigorously go through and check each and every one of their affirmed propositions related to metaphysics—where only direct experience is categorized as knowledge, and inferences, conceptualization, and experience are not—then their honest answer would be, "I don't know," as well.

Yes that's exactly right!

As a good practice I like once a year to clean my mind and rebuild my understanding with as little assumptions as possible. It's like cleaning the dust.

Thanks for your honest answers, I really appreciate your maturity and intellectual integrity.

Wishing you a very nice day.
