isn’t that a good thing though? let billionaires lose money then just don’t bail them out. Either way the datacenters will remain useful and might actually benefit real work. This is btw how we got a lot of open technologies where corporate overinvests and then community takes over.

Pretty terrible metaphor as realistically even without AI we will never need less compute. Compute is awesome, it’s a good thing to have more. The problem is the environmental damage not anything else.
We will never need less processing though even if AI goes away.

Just steal the joke - there has never been a more socially acceptable “theft” than this and you still pussy out.
I recently went on one of those glass sky walks on a sky scraper and people would be lining up and clenching their buttholes hard today, can’t imagine the culture around architecture back in those times - everyone was either just ready to go or sweating all the time just doing menial tasks lol
Which apparently happened a lot, like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fidenae - 20,000 people died, insane. That was quite normal in the ancient architecture sadly.
From what I gathered in non-fiction: they were building a giant 9 story ziggurat that was so big and such culture blend of people that it was named “Babel” which just roughly means “confusion”.
The fictional religious story seems to twist this into some xenophobic shit as always.
“Oh no my space debris accidently destroyed your multi billion dollar datacenter”

I think it’ll be really hard to bail AI out on public funds with current reputation if bubble pops.
However I think real risk is not full bail but constant leeching of public funds to private enterprise. This is not new to AI and this datacenter issue is exactly that - have people bear the environmental costs for private gains of datacenters. The other argument that US “doesn’t need datacenters” is just bad - that’s not the issue, everyone will need more datacenters forever basically.
I wouldn’t really trust China’s open source commitments though. FOSS is non-existent in chinese culture and it’s directly a competitive response to american corporate models. That being said, a good deed done for bad reasons still can be good!
Honestly if AI would gracefully decline now and we just had open source models we’d still have work for the next 10 years implementing these tools.
