They have perfect sense. The problem is they simply have too much money. Tech monopolists have already maxed out their markets, but their corporate valuations depend on endless explosive growth. So they need to always be chasing the next big thing. They need to find new world changing products, or at least been seen as on the path to such products.
They really don’t have any good places to invest all their money. What good investments does Zuckerberg really have to throw his profits at? Facebook and Instagram really don’t have a lot of growth potential anymore. The market is tapped out. So instead Zuck throws his billions at long shot projects like LLMs and the Metaverse. He’s at the point where the only investment left to him is to buy lottery tickets.
If they had more sense than money, they’d be sensible enough to not make those investments. It’s more money than sense. Or you could go with “less sense than money,” but that feels wrong somehow. As is, you’re doing the “could care less” thing.
The guy you’re replying to is saying that the people who knew spending billions of dollars on AI was bad had “sense” but no money.
The people who had money had no “sense” and thus did not now that spending billions on AI was a bad idea.
tl;dr the people with the money who make the spending decisions have no sense. The rest of us have sense but no money and are not invited to the table where spending decisions are made.
Who knew that spending billions of dollars to put a cognitive shit generator into every corner of the world was a bad investment?
by the time they build one, they would need new chips/ more faster that would invetibley consume more power everytime.
Lots of people with more sense than money, unfortunately.
