    Will that be enough for AI's hunger?

      It will be just in time for when AI will run very well on consumer hardware and the need for data centers will collapse.

        That's never going to happen. By the time you can run current frontier models on your $10k desktop the frontier will have massively advanced and people will want those models instead.

          I'm not sure if this prediction will hold true.

          We're not seeing the progress in those "frontier models" that we have previously seen. There's certainly still gas left in tank tank, but we're way into the diminishing returns by now.

          Cloud inference still beats hardware investments by orders of magnitude of course, but that's only if your data doesn't really matter to you.

              I can see that by those reddit-style vote swings, but who are "they", exactly?

              Who is so emotionally invested into random comment sections being purely positive about their pet.. uuuuuuuh.. tech?

              Very weird.
