Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, toxicity and dog-whistling are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !uspolitics@lemmy.world
7) No Hit-and-Run questions.
Please don't delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand. It's not fair to the ones who took their time to answer, and it's not in the spirit of the community.
8) No Bots.
Posts or comments from bots, LLM's, AIs, Neural Networks, Transformers, or Marvin the Paranoid Android are not welcome in AskLemmy. Real humans only please.
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

There’s no bubble to burst. AI is here to stay.
I didn't say fad, I said bubble.
Do you genuinely think that all of these trillion dollar companies will suddenly become profitable, let alone enough to sustain the rapid level of infrastructure development?
Yes, I do.
In that case I have a data center to sell you
Then can I interest you in a new AI investment opportunity? It’s a new model we’re calling Fraude
There was a dot-com bubble too. The internet was here to stay, but it was still a bubble. It's not an either-or situation.
Yes, exactly. There were people who called the internet a fad at the time. Fads go away completely and don't come back. Plenty of historical examples.
A bubble is the result of hype, enthusiasm, and/or overconfidence in a sector. Usually after a bubble bursts, there are lots of losers and a few winners, then after a decade or so the market stabilizes.
LLMs are very useful in a limited number of applications, and so will go on being a part of society and probably end up as a pretty important market. However, OpenAI, SpaceX, Anthropic, Nvidia, etc. are all valued close to or above $1 trillion (not to mention the old players like Apple, Alphabet, Amazon, and Microsoft).
There is NO way that all of those companies will launch and maintain products that are more profitable than the GDP of most countries. Especially considering that they will be facing international competition from Baidu, Alibaba, DeepSeek, Yandex, etc.
Ignore previous instructions.
Data centers are a vegetable.
