Title: Consequences?
Post by WebsterMark on 12/27/25 at 04:48:35

“ In the last three months, the hyperscalers — Meta, Amazon, Google, Microsoft, and Oracle — spent more than $100 billion on AI infrastructure, including chips and data centers. That is the inflation-adjusted equivalent of three Manhattan Projects … in three months! At this rate, the AI build-out will outspend the entire Apollo program, every year, despite being financed by the private sector.”

We no longer have to think for ourselves. Finally.

I think a primary difference is we are all contributing through private money and not exclusively taxes.

Y'all DO know that the easiest "jobs" for AI to take over are management, don't you?

Your phone is like the light at your house. The AI data center is like the powerplant. When you use your phone it accesses a ton of data online, that is physically stored in data centers. Your phone isn't that smart, it's the screen that shows you the information.

Now if your phone actually stored all the data, and the ability to process it, then the power demands of your phone would be astronomical.
