      It also fucks over anyone who manages or uses a computer. Each one makes our hardware more expensive.

      at the rate they’re building these things, either they’re getting severe kickbacks or someone has the goods on them. I’m not seeing any other justification for building them so insistently.

        Its stock market manipulation.

        The second they don’t look like an exponential growth curve, they are over-valued and crash.

        Nah, they’re addicted to being first and everyone’s running this race so you gotta race faster than them. They know a collapse is coming, but those only affect poors and the collapse will make subsequent investing much cheaper.

        If you’re thinking about consequences, you’re not doing capitalism well enough to be on top anyways.

      Microsoft actually doesn’t seem to have enough data center capacity: Microsoft forced to turn to AWS to boost GitHub cloud capacity following AI demand surge

        No, Microsoft has enough, they’ve just slop coded so much bloat in that they choose to not address while piling more and more vibe coding tools on top (which is why they are spinning up more capacity, to feed LLM slop code into).
