This can't be true...... Businesses wouldn't reshape their entire portfolios, spending billions of dollars on a technology with limited to no utility. Ridiculous.

Anyways, I got these tulip bulbs to sell, real cheap, just like give me your house or something.

Remember, investment in LLM infrastructure on the US is currently larger than consumer spending.

And they will cut interest rates soon, so expect the number to go up (the investment number, that is, not value).

Can confirm, I’m an electrical engineer working on a power substation supplying power to a future datacenter (not sure if an Ai project, there’s more that one). Let’s just say, money is no issue, commissioning schedule and functionality are their priorities.
