  • IBM’s CEO walked through some napkin math on data centers— and said that there’s “no way” to turn a profit at current costs.
  • “$8 trillion of CapEx means you need roughly $800 billion of profit just to pay for the interest,” Arvind Krishna told “Decoder.”
  • Krishna was skeptical of that current tech would reach AGI, putting the likelihood between 0-1%.

    I hate AI because it demands that I hate it. It has been forced down my throat on every other platform to the point where I can only really escape it on Lemmy. The art it creates is soulless, the environmental impact is going unchecked and uncharted, the constant expansion of data centers is putting a huge strain on local infrastructure, and the LLMs and front facing products are just the ad campaign. The real horror of AI aren’t spoken about; The expansion of the police state, The Military Industrial Complex creating autonomous death machines, and the entire western economy is being held up by a bubble that everyone is actively ignoring.
