AI bs

I can't wait for this AI bubble to burst. I spent a bit of time looking at the numbers and they are saying things so blatantly bonkers that it's hard to believe they haven't been laughed out of business yet.

Open AI talking about spending 1.1 trillion dollars on infrastructure. To pay back that investment they'd need ~1 in 8 humans to be paying them $20 a month for five years. Not 1 in 8 working age humans. One in eight of everyone. Newborns, elderly, everyone.
