"Believers in the #AI boom🚨need to take a very close look at this number: 9% of GDP. That's how much American businesses & consumers🚨eventually have to spend per year on the services of companies like #Anthropic & #OpenAI to justify the staggering sums being committed to the #technology right now. Is it plausible🚨we'll spend as much on AI as on food? Twice as much as on energy?🚨The law of diminishing returns would like a word." #Broligarchs #Fraud #Economy #Lies #USPol https://www.wsj.com/tech/ai/will-america-spend-9-of-its-gdp-on-ai-the-industry-is-counting-on-it-3501bb4f

"If it wasn't for the data center boom, the US economy🚨would likely be in a deep #recession. It's no wonder that #Trump is going all in for them; he has nothing else to keep the #economy humming." -C Owiki " #DataCenters are booming. 🚨All other private #construction is shrinking." #AI companies🚨will need to find at least $4.2T a year in new revenue by 2031 to pay for their data center buildout, per Bain & Co. Despite the AI boom,🚨Silicon Valley is shedding #tech #jobs." -S Rattner #USPol
