The link to Weaver‘s blog is in my last post, but we have a big issue here in one little paragraph: what do we do with Nvidia when demand for their chips collapses?
As a child could surmise, this is an epic collapse in the making.
If interest moves to the edge, we are going to see…problems emerge.

None of this will happen, by the way. If you think it will, then you’ve not been paying attention.
First, LLMs are not capable of the reasoning required. Now or ever.
Second, the insane amount of compute used here is *all* subsidized. All of it. This cannot last much longer.

Bankruptcy? No. But $5T+ market cap is delusion, nothing more.
Look at this insanity (and, no, despite the growth in AI this is not supported by fundamentals):

The best part of watching Tesla circle the drain for years is the delusional nonsense we can all laugh at.
$50B CEO pay package? Insufficient, make it $1T.
Falsely advertise as a tech co. based on fake AV tech? Why not.
Sales crater, pretend the co. is making robot slaves. Hell yeah!

The omnipresent “story” of Amazon replacing its workers with Robot Slave Tech,™️ a nonexistent fantasy technology, couldn’t be for any other reason than a sincere belief on the part of Amazon management that a breakthrough in the field of “slave tech” was near, right?

Chance, once you reach this braindead post in the thread you need to “pull a Platner” and chuck the poster into the garbage.

It's bizarre and a testament to the delusion out there that we're only now looking around and saying, "wait, these 'agents' don't work and the underlying technology is incapable of supporting these kinds of use cases."
