As I was using LLMs at work (I never use LLMs for personal projects), a question occurred to me:

What in the fuck are these new data centers supposed to actually do?

The enterprise users are all in on having LLMs write 300% of the code. And yet, both OpenAI and Anthropic are still giving these “$200 gets you $10 000 in API costs” subscriptions to every victim of AI psychosis.

Why do we have RAM, hard disk, SSD, GPU and CPU shortages and no “token shortage”?

I mean, we all know the answer, these are the offerings for the robot god, but like how in the fuck are they still obtaining loans for this shit?

    The large tech companies (Meta, Microsoft, Google, Amazon) all know that software companies are going to go bankrupt. People will start creating things like Windows with LLM. Windows and software is obsolete. So these big companies that are sitting on hordes of cash, and know their days are limited, need to make a pivot. They also know that all the countries of the world are deeply in debt, and inflation is going to continue. Cell phones are becoming expensive, and will only get worse as inflation continues, and countries start devaluing their currencies. So the push is going to be (and Elon Musk said this flat out on Joe Rogan), new inexpensive devices will replace cellphones. They wont have a CPU or much RAM, because all the apps will be cast from Data Centers. The world will return to the terminal servers of the 70s. So Data Centers will have a use, for steaming all the apps. But the other thing is that the worldwide electrical grid is old, and can’t handle all the new power that’s needed for the Data Centers, and Electrical Vehicles. I saw a millionaire call the rebuilding of the Electrical Grid that’s taking place a modern day Industrial Revolution. So, the bigger part behind each data center is going to be the SMR (Small Modular Reactors) The small modular reactors are built in the same style as the nuclear reactors inside a nuclear submarine, or an aircraft carrier. They are mass produced, built like interlocking Legos, self contained, and run for 20-30 years without needing any more nuclear fuel added. They will power the data centers, and MORE IMPORTANTLY, they will be connected to the grid! So these large companies like Microsoft who bough the 3 mile Island reactor, will become hybrid tech companies, selling app subscriptions, cloud space, utility companies, selling electricity back into the system. It’s also important to get the cost of electricity down using the SMR, because the average person is going to be a lot poorer in the future. Here you go, the full scoop, you won’t hear on the news.

      No, they won’t.

      and Elon Musk said this flat out on Joe Rogan

      lol

      lol encore

      Here you go, the full scoop, you won’t hear on the news.

      lol a third time

      Go do your own research somewhere else.
