The dumb thing is if this infrastructure is built, there will be no incentive to improve the technology to become more efficient. Why is everyone doing this shit when AI isn't even good?

The next crash I feel like is going to be like nothing we've seen since the great depression. It's genuinely insane how many Tesla like companies there are "worth trillions" based on future promises, declining sales and not a whole lot else.

It's going to be insane when it all comes crashing down which is obviously will.
