    It will be once the bubble pops. Small local tuned models for specific tasks that the user powers are much less expensive for the tech companies than tech companies powering and watering datacenters.

    Right now the tech bros genuinely think people will be cool paying hundreds of dollars a month to rent a GPU for all their Internet tasks. AI fatigue is already setting in.

    The tech bros’ investors will pull funding once they realize how asinine that is long-term. Probably already starting to, with the likes of Zuck trying to use green charity money to fund his LLMs.

      I’m fully expecting the current bubble to pop in the near future as well. The whole war on Iran could serve as a catalyst incidentally given that it’s going to drive energy prices to the moon.
