All spending tens and tens B dollars on Zettaflops, next will be inevitable oversupply, then the AI bubble will crash and all these GPUs will be found on the city dumps

If I'm not mistaken, Blackwell is $30,000 per chip. Unless they got it on a discount, buying 131,072 chips is close to $4 billion USD.

Yep, however, AI is so sacrosanct to these companies that ROI isn't even proven and yet that's a complete non-issue for them; somehow, so many starry-eyed companies are going by a "build it and they will come" strategy, seemingly throwing out all conventional and responsible business sensibility.

There's definitely going to be an AI bubble crash at some point, and unfortunately it looks to be almost every bit as disastrous as the dot-com bubble crash. Too bad AI isn't being used to predict it's own crash, but I guess that would be too antithetical to their own existence and training, lol!

I shudder to think of the power consumption of these systems. Here's hoping they're planning on a solar farm to supplement it. Say half the state of Nevada.
