@GossiTheDogKevin Beaumont I had a chat with one of the infrastructure guys at work the other day; they’ve stopped buying hardware, and they’ve spent months consolidating and redeploying servers, and renegotiating licensing contracts to cut costs.

If this is happening at other companies, that really doesn’t bode well for the tech industry in the long-term, once the AI bubble bursts.
