I think they're hoping AI will eventually get smart enough to make itself do stuff. Sorta like a fusion reactor: you get it jump started with billions of taxpayer money, and eventually it will start spitting out hundred dollar bills!

  • Step 1: Destroy the environment with millions of unnecessary datacenters.

Step 2: after the bubble pops buy everything for pennies on the dollar. repurpose AI and datacenters for extremely invasive surveillance network and sell data and services to totalitarian governments
