…I just don’t buy the new elite thing. I think AI is a tech that’s more hollow than substantial, and which cannot stand up at scale in the energy squeeze that’s coming within the next 10 years...

And not just the energy squeeze. LLMs are hemorrhaging money even in the current energy environment. It's very clearly a bubble that's getting ready to explode.

The amount of resources it requires vs the end result it provides looks like a negative ROI to me. It has some uses, but most of these would be prohibitively expensive if priced correctly.

At this point I'm not even sure they have a single profitable use, outside of luxury ego stroking for the rich maybe.
